What is it like to work with The Organization Connection?

On this page we’ll tell you what kind of results our clients have
experienced.  We’ll also give you a sense of our guiding beliefs, approach to
projects and how we’re different than most Professional Organizers.

When you work with us you can expect to see desirable and
sustainable changes in your ability to stay organized.  You will be better
able to actively organize your time, space and belongings, stress will be
reduced significantly and results will come with a lot less struggle and effort.  
If you use the ideas on this site and in our products and services you will see
real results. You can expect to see the following:

Expected Results
You will achieve organization and be able to maintain it.  No more failed
attempts at getting organized.  You will no longer be using methods that
don't work.

You will be able to have visitors at any time. You will feel good about
inviting people into your office or workspace and you won't have to spend days cleaning and organizing...or searching for misplaced reports.

You will be able to find what you need in less than 5 minutes.  You will
know where your information is filed (digitally or physically), have easy access to your contacts, schedule and tasks and you will be able to retrieve them quickly.

You will be able to successfully manage or coordinate everyone’s schedule.  You will no longer feel frustrated trying to keep track of all the staff or family events and activities.  You will know what is happening ahead of time and be prepared.

You will be able to manage your home business and your household
smoothly; and successfully balance the two areas of your life.  You will
have enough time in the day to do what you need to do because things will
have a home and you will have systems in place to handle the business and
the family.

Our Philosophy and Values
We believe in ‘teaching you how to fish’.  There is a Chinese proverb that
says “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.  Teach him how to fish and
you feed him for a lifetime.”  We want you to learn the process so that you
can grow and accomplish your future goals on your own.  We love to see our
clients achieve their goals.

We operate with the highest degree of integrity and confidentiality.  
We are objective, non-judgmental, and supportive.  We don’t believe in
wasting your valuable time on things that won’t get you results.  In addition,
our work together is completely confidential.

Our Approach
We know that being organized is a process and not an event.  Whether
you were ‘born organized’ or far from it, we can help you learn and
understand the process for getting and staying organized.  Once you know
the process, you can apply it to many areas of your life or space.

We believe that organizing your time, space, and belongings involve
clear-cut skills that anyone can learn.  Then it’s a matter of applying those
skills to create systems that work for you. Usually, we find that you already have good systems in place...they just may need some adjusting and simplifying to bring you to the next level of productivity.

We are flexible.  You and your situation are unique and cookie cutter
solutions just won’t cut it.  We take the time to listen and see how you live
and work in order to assist you in creating customized systems for you and
your lifestyle.

We believe in steady progress.  We don't believe in the ‘all or nothing’
approach.  Many people try to change their lives in one day.  We know that
you have a better chance for success if you take baby steps and succeed as
you go.

We are as committed to having fun as we are to getting results. In fact,
we believe that you get better results when you do have fun. This doesn't
mean that we waste time- when it comes to implementing change and forming
new habits though, having a positive, upbeat attitude is not only desirable, it
keeps you motivated and inspired – and it rubs off on others around you.

What Makes Us Unique?
Many Professional Organizers consider themselves ‘Born Organized’
and try to apply their strategies and severe level of organization to
your life or business.  I have been able to conquer clutter and chaos in my
life and have learned the process the hard way so that you don’t have to.  I
truly understand that “life is what happens when you are busy making other
plans” (John Lennon), so it is my goal to help my clients achieve a life that is
‘reasonably organized’ so they can spend more time actually producing results and less time organizing.

Now that you have a better idea about the results you can expect by
working with us and our approach and philosophy of working with
clients, next go to the Services page to learn about the specific services and
