Color of success



“Here are some colors that can be associated with success in the workplace:


Gold or yellow

Can symbolize achievement and prosperity. Yellow can also increase feelings of well-being, enthusiasm, and positivity, which can boost employee performance and productivity. It can also promote creativity and decision-making, and some psychologists say it can help with memory, self-esteem, and optimism. Yellow accents can be used in spaces where creativity is encouraged, such as on walls, or as highlights in desk or wall accessories, art, or plants.


Purple

Can represent success, wealth, wisdom, and royalty. It can also be associated with ambition, which can boost creativity, focus, and efficiency. Dark purple can make employees feel motivated and engaged, especially if they feel like they're representing a prestigious brand. Purple artwork, carpeting, or rugs can all help incorporate the color into the workplace.


Red

Can represent human endeavor, triumph, and achievement. It can give employees a mental productivity boost, especially if their tasks involve physical activity. However, red can also make employees feel anxious, so it's best to use it as an accent in interior design, rather than as the main color.


Soft gray

Can promote a calm and neutral atmosphere, and is associated with balance and focus. It can be a good choice for workspaces where concentration is important, and it pairs well with other colors.”

My Charter School Experiences

In 1992, I did not attend a charter school. I have had a wide range opportunities that took place at various schools. I have not provided any services for schools as a consultant for a while. Among them include when I served as a substitute teacher for Mundo Verde PCS in 2013, I can recall working with some of the students and staff and sharing my passion and extensive background in visual arts. Additionally, I can recall when I served as a substitute teacher for DC International School. I knew a little bit of Spanish, but as a professional visual artist, I really enjoyed sharing my love and extensive background in visual arts with the students and some of the staff members at DC International from 2016-2017. Also when I served as an art elective Summer Camp teacher for Higher Achievement in 2013, the program took place at Center City Capitol Hill Campus.

Why I taught the arts?

  When I was a little girl, I wanted to pursue a career in the arts. I choose the arts as a vehicle and outlet for me to express myself through using the arts. If it was not for the love of the arts and I had the opportunity to teach visual arts, literary arts, and dance throughout my community in the past. It gave me the opportunity to express myself as it is related to bullying and culture, especially to minority race.  I taught various art forms such as collage design, abstract painting, drawing, poetry, and dance to children, youth and dance.

How I became a consultant?

Active Listening

“The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person.” Being quiet and listening fully to what the other person is saying without any judgment, bias and prejudice. Quote found on the Internet The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person by truly focusing on what is being said, rather than thinking about their own response or interjecting with their own opinions. This level of attentiveness shows respect for the speaker, validating their thoughts and feelings. It also fosters a sense of trust, as the listener demonstrates that they are fully engaged and invested in the conversation. By maintaining eye contact, nodding in agreement, and using body language that shows openness and receptivity, the listener communicates that they value the speaker's perspective. This kind of active listening allows the speaker to feel heard and understood, leading to more meaningful and productive discussions. Ultimately, conveying confidence in the other person through att...
