Sound directly impacts our work performance - from our creativity to our physical comfort - and yet many of us work in spaces that are simply not fit for purpose. Most office soundscapes are accidental and unproductive, and problematic noise is rarely recognised or dealt with.


In this live video broadcast, I'll help you to take control of your sound at work. We'll be exploring:
- 5 most common mistakes in workspaces
- how an office can be too loud or too quiet
- the effects of noise on health
- the world's worst sound for productivity
- how to triple your effectiveness in a noisy office


So join me live on Wednesday 19th February at 19:00 GMT for this interactive On-Air Hangout. 


Confirm your attendance on the Google+ event page and feel free to submit any questions in advance too. I'm looking forward to having you there.
