Select Designer Footwear Feng Shui Style

Footwear , covering and protecting your important part, feet, needs to be comfortable and the right fit.

Designer labels and costly foot wear is becoming the latest fashion, we do choose branded foot wear over the road side stalls one as it lasts longer and also adds to our style statement. As there are plenty of designer foot wear available at label stores and also online shopping sites , feng shui foot wear tips are handy to give to satisfaction from your costly designer  foot wear.

How many of us think before buying a designer foot wear about the comfort level, the right fit, the satisfaction this will give to us and how long will the foot wear last? As we see colors, designs , patterns and labels , very often we neglect the main purpose of foot wear, to cover our feet and make walking comfortable.

Feng shui is all about balance, harmony and peace a feeling of satisfaction and one with nature. If your foot wear bites, and you get sores in your feet, point lost , If you feel it is too tight, again point lost, if the footwear is too funky for your nature, the designer label will not bring you confidence and you  ill feel uncomfortable in wearing this foot wear, point lost; your foot wear looking so good but a bit loose, you need to grip your toes to walk, again point lost; delicate footwear designs in contemporary foot wear if the straps are prone to breaking, especially at unexpected times, point lost; if your life style is hectic too much walking, then a delicate design will not serve the purpose, as you need a sturdy foot wear, as in mountain climbing and trekking we wear shoes and not chappals or sandals, and if you live a lavish life style just anything will do, as whichever style foot wear you carry yourself!

Feng shui foot wear is such that places utmost importance on your life style and comfort. The right fit, wear it and then go ahead for purchase. Look for small details, does it pinch, can you walk without any effort, most importantly does it feel as one with your feet, and finally go with your gut feeling , if it feels right, does it feel right for you, then it definitely is!

Dubai development company plans $30bn Vietnam project

VNRE - A Dubai-based development company has launched a major project in Vietnam’s capital city which will cost US$30bn (AED110bn) and take 17 years to complete, reported Trade Arabia.

Global Sphere’s project dubbed ‘Hanoi Wall Street’ will feature complete city services over an area of 35 sqkm and represents the largest Vietnamese venture by a company from the UAE.

Chairman of Global Sphere, Dr Abdullah Al Sayegh, said the project will be an integrated community, with the first phase expected to be finished by 2020, at a cost of US$10bn (AED36.7bn). The full project is expected to end in 2030.

Al Sayegh said the project will have about 70 residential towers which will “accommodate between 300,000 and 400,00 people” and that the “engineering plan for the project resembles Downtown Dubai”.

Global Sphere arranges funds for large projects on behalf of commercial companies or governments, and Al Sayegh claims that with this project the company is serving as a port for the entry of many UAE companies to the Vietnamese market.

He added that the project is the first of the company’s business in Vietnam, and that it involves a number of contracts for other projects, including the production of solar energy, in partnership with Worldtech Corporation. Other projects would be carried out by companies from Vietnam.

Encourage Employees To Learn From Their Mistakes

Mistakes happen. The best thing you can do as a leader is to help your employee learn from his (or her) mistake.

If your employee is afraid of ever making a mistake, he will be paralyzed from taking action or taking even calculated risks. If he knows that mistakes happen in the course of doing business and that one learns from making mistakes, you will have a more productive employee.

Most important, be sure your employee knows that if he makes a mistake, he should let you know as soon as possible.

As soon as he does, quickly rectify the situation.

Then, discuss with him how the mistake happened. Find out what he did or didn't do. Ask him what he thinks he can do in the future to avoid the mistake from happening again. Chances are he has already figured this out. If not, teach him what he needs to do differently to avoid the mistake from reoccurring.

Finally, you may discover that the mistake happened because policies, procedures or your assignment instructions were confusing or unclear. Learn from that discovery and decide what you can do differently as the manager to help your employees avoid future mistakes.

A Completely Different Approach To Hiring

"Don't Hire Jerks, No Matter How Talented," said Michael Lebowitz in an interview for The New York Times awhile back.

Lebowitz is the CEO of Big Spaceship, a marketing and communications agency. He claims, and I agree, that no matter how talented the person may be, if he/she can't fit into the company culture and work effectively with co-workers, it doesn't matter how talented he/she is.

The other advice Lebowitz gives is:

• If you are the CEO, be the FIRST person to interview a candidate. Don't be last, as is typically the case.

"I completely step back from trying to assess their skills. I leave that to the people they're going to be working with really closely," said Lebowitz. "And, so I spend as much time as an hour, sometimes 90 minutes, just trying to figure out who they are and if they're going to be a good fit for the culture."

In his interviews, Lebowitz asks these open-ended questions:

• So, what do you do?
• What do you like to do?
• What should you do on your first day, first week, and first month?

"If one of the answers isn't "listen," then it's not going to work out at all.

Thanks to marketing guru, Debbie Laskey, for bringing my attention to the published interview.
