What Clients Have in Common
It’s true that almost everyone can make some improvements when it comes to time management, organizations skills and the like. But a careful review of current and previous clients surfaced common characteristics of the best success stories. If the statements below describe you, together we can make a significant impact on your organization skills.
- are successful at what they do, but want to kick things up a notch in terms of organization skills, focus, time management, etc.
- are small business owners, managers, department heads, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors who have a good amount of control about how they spend their day. They are in the driver’s seat about what they do and when they do it.
- have a couple of hours* to devote to the process
- are ready to make a change — be it large or small *Some clients meet with me one time and are able to get the solutions they need and move forward on their own to implement them. Still others choose to go the coaching route — perhaps for a few weeks or months. You decide what works for you taking into account your needs, availability and current habits.

I feel much less intimidated doing my own organizing using Open Spaces tools…I highly recommend them to anyone who sincerely wants to get organized, get control, and make life simpler and in the end to have time for the important things in life. — Sara B. Burke, The City Studio Dance Center
Mary is fabulous to work with — she not only helped with organization of an office that housed an existing business, she also organized that same office to launch a new business! I highly recommend Mary — she is very enjoyable to work with, and she went above and beyond to straighten out an administrative mess!” Val Strang, Burn Fitness, LLC
Thank you so much for your excellent presentation at last Saturday’s workshop. I received several glowing comments at the end of the day, and you really helped get the program off to a great start. The benefits of solid organization skills cannot be overemphasized, and they need refreshing as technologies and lifestyles change. Your skills and expertise are very much apparent and appreciated. I hope that we can work together in the future. Marcia Maroe Conaghan, Women Entrepreneur Program
