HOW I WORK

Initial phone consultation: All work begins with a phone consultation that lasts about 30 minutes. During this time we explore your situation and organizing needs, answer your questions, and figure out if we want to schedule an on-site session.

First on-site session: During this session we take a site survey of areas you want to address and assess your organizing needs in each area. We then choose one project you’d like to tackle and start working, so you can experience what it’s like to work together and get something done. We also talk about how we can continue the work in future sessions. This usually takes 2 – 3 hours.

Ongoing on-site sessions: These include hands-on assistance, guidance, direction, education, and encouragement. They last a minimum of 3 hours, except by special arrangement.

Telephone and email consulting and coaching is available for follow-up support and for clients at a distance.
