About Author

MARLEEN GEYEN

It might be because I have a slew of family, cousins, nieces, and nephews that I was taught to always put another person first. As a result, all gatherings were crowded, and being first in anything was a moot point.

It was not unusual for me to extend an invitation to the person next to me to step in front at the meal line, settle in the middle seat in the car, or show up as johnny-on-the-spot for dirty dish detail and laundry and cleaning and babysitting...

What We Do

We are committed to treating everyone with equal respect and professionalism, regardless of their role or title. Our uniforms represent our dedication to quality and our professional standards. We ensure transparent communication and avoid assumptions, fostering genuine connections and trust in every interaction.

What Color is Small Business

We explore the essence of small businesses through the lens of color, recognizing that each color represents unique values and attributes of a business. By understanding the personal and emotional connections business owners have with their chosen colors, we gain insights into their business philosophies and aspirations. This approach helps us appreciate the diverse perspectives and experiences that shape our work, allowing us to connect more deeply with our clients and tailor our services to their specific needs and values.

They Are Just People

We believe in treating everyone with equal respect, regardless of their title or status. By focusing on genuine connections and avoiding the pitfalls of hierarchy, we ensure that every individual is valued and appreciated. Our approach fosters an inclusive environment where respect and professionalism are paramount, and every interaction is grounded in the principle that everyone deserves the same level of consideration and dignity.

The Story I Tell Myself

We prioritize transparency and accuracy in all our communications. By focusing on clear, factual information rather than assumptions or preconceived notions, we strive to ensure that our interactions are grounded in truth. We recognize the importance of checking details and being open to different perspectives, avoiding the pitfalls of storytelling that can lead to misunderstandings. Our commitment to clear communication helps build trust and fosters effective collaboration.

The Label Of Business Person

Labels like “business person” can be misleading and oversimplify an individual’s character. The tone of voice used when discussing labels reveals underlying biases and influences how others perceive them.

The Problem with Labels

Labeling people, such as calling someone a “business person,” often leads to unfair assumptions. It’s challenging to determine the true nature of someone from just a label.

Tone of Voice Matters

The tone of voice used when discussing or describing someone can significantly impact perceptions. It often reflects underlying attitudes and biases.

Personal Reflection

In past experiences with college students, the tone of my voice revealed my own biases about their career choices, affecting their responses and perceptions.

The Role of Awareness

Recognizing and adjusting our tone and communication style can lead to more open and positive interactions. Awareness can transform how we present ourselves and perceive others.

The Complexity of Labels

Labels can be both positive and negative, and their impact depends largely on the tone and context in which they are used.

Embracing Change

By becoming aware of our communication styles, we can foster more meaningful and unbiased interactions, leading to personal and professional growth.
