More and more research confirms that what you wore on a Zoom call mattered during the COVID pandemic. Since then, rather than stumbling out of bed, throwing on a semi-clean t-shirt, and quickly combing their hair, employees of all kinds have realized the mental change that happens when you simply dress up for work – even if it’s just a Zoom call. It changes your perspective, focuses your mind, and gives you confidence. I believe the same goes for your personal workspace. It may be a traditional office, a home office, a studio, or something different, but whatever it is, investing in that space can dramatically transform your attitude, productivity, and the quality of your work.

But when I took a tour of their offices, I understood why.
