Working Together
Working together will always focus on your individual needs.
How I work with you:
respectfully – it’s your stuff!
compassionately – with no judgment
so it’s personalized & practical – it’s got to work – for you
with complete confidentiality – private and safe
with a sense of humor – we can have fun doing this!
I can be your catalyst, energy pack, cheer leader, strategist, project manager, and accountability partner!
Our Process
Contact me and tell me all about it.
Then, we can schedule an on-site, hands-on consultation.
Then, after that, we can start to work, scheduling as convenient (see options below).
Assessment - to determine your individual needs
This is usually done in person, but can be accomplished online using photos of your site, if distance makes it necessary.
Planning – to decide what we would do together
I make recommendations, you give input, we visualize.
Hands-on work - to do what needs to be done
This is you and me together, on site.
Setting up systems - to help you get & stay organized
We plan for the future.
Coaching – including assignments for you – to keep you on track. This can be done on the phone or online.
Re-assessment – to make sure it’s working for you
Follow up, and then follow up some more…
Fine-tuning – to keep on deepening your level of organization
We keep on looking at what we can improve.
Maintenance – to make sure you STAY organized
