Work Space History: How many Spaces have you Worked?
Add up the spaces where you have worked including summer jobs and that dusty desk they parked you during your internship. If you worked waiting tables count that restaurant and if you worked as a life guard count the life guard stand, but not the beach.
How did these work environments shape your personal preferences? When you love the work the space patterns your emotional body so similar environments feel good. In contrast, an emotionally brutal work environment leaves scars even when the pay and professional experience was beneficial. Similar environments feel like scar tissue rubbed the wrong way.
Every work environment shapes your feelings and reactions for better or worse. The best thing about starting off with a good boss is they create an environment that supports their team’s well being and talents. From then on you are drawn to recreate those original work place patterns. In the same way you probably arranged your first living room like the one you grew up with.
