“One of the things you hear all the time is that everyone is different. Well, it's true, but it doesn't mean we 'all' can't do better. Different was my excuse for stacks of unread reading, memos long ago read and never filed, spreadsheets studied and printed out and then kept on the table in case I had an epiphany. Yes, that was what I think I thought all this mess was doing; it was keeping the door open to possibilities that might arise from just being within reach. And there was always more to do than there was time in the day and I always went to sleep knowing that I had worked a hard day's work and would wake up to much more 'to do'. I had sold myself on things that were wrong, inefficient, draining and slowing down my productivity. I've got to tell you that I feel different today, that I have cleaned-up and refocused my desk, my work approach, and soon my office at home, the stacks around my 'reading chair' and even my garage. Guess what? I had that epiphany, but it wasn't in those piles. It was about those piles and I can thank Leslie for reaching me finally with a better way to operate, a better way to seize the day.”

“Leslie taught me how to use the calendar and task management system in Outlook. Having been a Franklin Covey user for years, I was skeptical. I am a believer now! Using the new system has helped me to be more organized and efficient. I am able to track my to do list and follow up effectively. I've eliminated using post it notes! Leslie is a supportive teacher who knows how to use these tools to help you accomplish what you want. I have recommended her to my clients and highly recommend her and her services.”

“ A big 'Thank You' to you! I have been doing this for a long time and your techniques have helped me more than any other class or instruction. I think all young professionals should use your services starting their career because I truly feel what you teach is as important as the knowledge of a person's industry.”

“I feel much more in charge of my life in general in and out of the office...I think my clients are definitely more satisfied. She will revolutionize the way you use your Outlook software. She gives the tough love you need to force yourself to break out from your non-productive, disorganized box!”

“It's amazing to be able to keep one task on my desk at a time, which enables me to clear my desk at the end of each day and gives me the distinct pleasure of walking in to a clear desk in the morning. The biggest shift for me was to discover the effectiveness of "tasking" everything in Outlook, allowing me to clear out my Inbox, my desk, and anywhere else the enormous volumes of daily information happened to come to rest. I'm definitely accomplishing more tasks in less time and monitoring tasks more carefully.”

“Leslie comes in, reviews your job, your needs and your current systems and then works hand-in-hand with you to create customized solutions to your organizing problems. I feel like I can take on more and more complex tasks and projects and not worry as much about managing them. I love it! I am getting into the habit of using my task list to drive my day and that improves every day. I am using my task list effectively, actually FILING papers, organizing my computer files, and deleting e-mails that I don't actually need.”

“Leslie will change the way you think about time, tasks, and managing the information necessary to do your job. She will provide a roadmap to organize and focus your work that will lead to marked improvements in your focus, your productivity, and ultimately your job performance. I am thinking about my time more strategically, like it is a commodity that needs to be managed more effectively. I feel much more in control of my workload and in my professional life. I am able to save at least 1 hour per day and direct it to more productive, higher level uses, such as management and leadership.”

“I would describe the process as eye opening to say the least. I feel like I have a secret that is enabling me to perform better and more efficiently than anyone I know. It is very exciting to feel in control and not out of control! It is such a nice change to show up every day with a clean work area. It truly makes you feel that you can begin a day and be successful at those tasks at hand. Recently, we have had staffing issues so instead of replacing a customer service representative I have been given an additional 30 accounts to service. There is no way I would be able to consider such an increase in volume of accounts if it was not for the organizing techniques taught to me by Leslie. Personally, I feel so much more in control of the amount of information I receive on a daily basis. I now know when I receive something where it is supposed to go and I place it there immediately so when I need to find it I know exactly where it is. The use of tasks as a tool to prioritize my work has been extremely beneficial and keeps me from losing track of items that must be handled. When I think how I was handling all this information before I can't even imagine how I was able to function in a productive manner. Now, I feel great about what I am doing.”

“The organization process Leslie offers is very consultative. She asks questions to find where your 'pain' is and offers practical, immediate solutions in a non-judgmental way. The folder/paperwork (tangible) organization gives the client immediate results they can see which then makes them want to move to the electronic organization. Since working with Leslie, I feel like I have control over my office and computer, when before they 'controlled' me. My desk drawers and files are no longer 'black holes' and my email files are under control. Looking at my shelves and in my desk drawers puts a smile on my face instead of a frown! I no longer feel like I am 'system-less' when it comes to the paperwork and files I manage each day. I can't tell you how many times in the past few weeks I've panicked wondering where a document was, then had to stop myself, look in the place where it SHOULD be (based on our new system) and alas, it's there! I think the process is very effective.”

“My office is the neatest and most organized it has been since 1990. I feel like a 100 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders, which has provided me with more energy for my duties and responsibilities. I am much more productive then ever before.”

“I feel I gained a lot from Leslie's background in operations and management. I feel much more productive, more in control, more motivated and less stressed! Working with Leslie is organizational therapy.”

“Leslie, thank you so much for helping me overcome the clutter. I truly feel the systematic way of organizing my office, computer, files, etc. is something I can really stick with. I've been to more than a few "How to Get Organized" seminars over the years. None have left me as energized as you have. Thanks again, Tom”

“I just want to let you know that my filing system is working great.
Using the Tasks in Outlook is becoming a habit - goodbye to little notes and long lists.
Thanks for all your help!”

“I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the changes that you have made in my professional and personal life.  When I originally hired Leslie, I was in love with the idea of having my office look like the pictured offices that you show in your presentation.  A few days after making the appointment, I started to doubt the need for your services, thinking to myself, 'I can do this myself in a weekend.I know I can.'  Clearly, I had no idea what was in store for me!

“I decided to keep the appointment, and it was the best decision that I could have made.  I was most surprised by the first fifteen minutes of that initial visit.  Immediately we began purging, organizing, filing.it was a whirlwind; so productive and exciting.  Each visit was more and more productive and quickly, the job was done.  It wasn't until a few days after the office was completed that I realized you had done so much more than just organized my files.  What you did was teach me a whole new way of thinking.  I couldn't get over how much more efficient I had become; at work and at home.  Files were moving through the system faster, my time was more easily managed, it was easier to both start and finish the day.  I also realized that my home was running more efficiently as well.  It was all due to the processes and the systematic way you taught me to approach each and every thing I do in a day.  Your direct way of dealing with issues, your clear thinking and instruction and your warm personality really makes you a homerun.

“When colleagues and clients comment on my office and organization skills (which they often do), I tell them all about my experience with Leslie and that how no matter what their expectations may be about how you would be able to help them, they will never be ready for the changes that you will make in their productivity and even their every day thinking.   I truly believe that you are the best at what you do and I would highly recommend you to anyone that I think might be able to use your services.  It was money well spent and the best and highest use of my time working with you and I thank you very much for everything.”

“Leslie got me to do in four hours what I've avoided doing for eight years. Leslie helped me become the organizational standard for the office by educating and empowering me. I now have a clutter free work environment, an organized "at my fingertips" filing system and a daily efficient workflow process that's tailored to my schedule and favorite work times and habits. My goal was to "clean up a little" and that goal was blown away. Instead of my paperwork being a barrier to growing my business, clients have a sense that I'm right on top of things because I have such quick and easy access to the information I need and the time to get right back to them. I'm swept by a deep sense of relief.”

“I wanted to become more organized and productive and these objectives were met. Just by how my office looks a month later tells the story. I know the difference between being organized and having a clean office. It's a system that can be learned. I find things much faster, therefore lowering my stress levels during the day. The President of the company had a great attention to detail and clearly knows how an executive office should run. It gets me one step closer to having an assistant and raising the bar of my business."

“The new organization makes me feel much better. There is no monkey on my back anymore telling me I'm not getting things accomplished. The organization makes me feel like we are projecting a successful and well managed image. A foundation is in place now that allows me to refocus my attention and accomplish my tasks no matter how many times I am interrupted throughout the day. Leads are followed up on more quickly and I have the time to do more strategic things, more evaluation of results and I am less reactive and more proactive with how I manage my tasks and my time.”

“The new organization makes me feel great and in control of my workload. I spent so much time before handling the same paperwork and not cleaning out my “In” box. We got rid of the 'In' box, which forces me to do something immediately with stuff that is put on my desk. On the computer we developed a better way of storing both email and computer files, which now makes it easier to manage. I can also manage my priorities better now. What I found particularly helpful about Leslie was that she organized based on what my needs and desires were. Her experience was also helpful because she has been in many different types of environments and was able to suggest some helpful tips. Leslie did a great job, my office looks great and I feel more confident about myself and my productivity.”

“I am spending much less time looking for things, eliminated things I know I will never get to and lets me concentrate on the essentials. I feel much more in control of my environment and mentally freer. Too much stuff around is a mental burden and weighs you down. I find I am getting more work done and staying better focused. Working in my new office is WONDERFUL!”

“Leslie and I were able to clear workspace, prioritize workload, organize file space and revamp intra-office communications to work more efficiently, quickly and productively. The new organization makes me feel more efficient and confident in my abilities to manage my caseload and responsibilities. My objectives were decidedly met.”

“I am more productive because of clearer thinking and having the ability to find things and organize information as I receive it.”

“I have a system in place to help me to be more productive and less frustrated. The organization makes me feel like I can breathe; like a big weight has been lifted. It has become easier to decide what needs immediate attention and what can wait, allowing me to prioritize my workload to become more productive. With the “piles” gone I am more able to focus on the most important tasks at hand. Leslie quickly honed in on my personality type and how to integrate my style into a workable organization plan to suit me.”
