The five love languages at work teach us a lot about how our team, clients and peers give and receive business appreciation.

Author Gary Chapman proposed that there are 5 love languages, originally created for couples, to show and receive love. This naturally extended to a workplace version of our needs in a professional world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are all different and being attentive to seeking out ways to appreciate each other is critical. It is not a one size fits all approach. A successful entrepreneur or business owner strives to showcase and share all the love languages to show appreciation for others. This will help you guide your efforts to become a better writer and appeal to your audience in the way that they sense your appreciation for them in the unique ways that they feel your love.

When my son @chrishustl came up with the brilliant name for my business, The Write View, I was instantly in love. Then he came up with the tagline, "let me do the writing; you enjoy the view."

Clever, Creative, Clear and from all accounts, people would say, pretty "branding voice perfect!"

If you are writing in your work, growing a business with your social media strategy, blogging, marketing or sales writing, you really will show your brand and voice off more authentically if you write in a space that resonates with you. It's contagious and will flow into your words. Guaranteed. Whether your work is now from home or returning to the office, I am a proponent of creating writing spaces that will fuel productivity, creativity and fill your senses with all the benefits.
