We offer FOUR UNIQUE ORGANIZING PROGRAMS that are presented virtually, in-person (if local) or as a hybrid format. Our goal is to assure your audience that anyone can learn to become organized and THEN teach them tangible skills and strategies they can start using right away.

Our programs are based on our 17 years of experience as detailed in our book, Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living. 

Each 1-hour program stands alone and complements the others. Combine two or more to create an engaging series! They are:

• 5 Basic Principles for Getting (& Staying!) Organized
• What Stays and What Goes? (An Organizer's Guide to Making Decisions)
• Where's My Stuff? The Ins and Outs of Managing Space
• How to Manage Your Paper (Without Losing Your Mind!)

A short Q&A follows each presentation, where we answer questions and provide solutions to common challenges that get people stuck. It's a lot of value in a short amount of time!

Please click the short video below from the 2022 National Virtual Presenters Showcase. Get to know us better as we describe each program and discuss the different ways we keep your audience engaged. (Watch time: 9 minutes. Close Captioning available.)

We look forward to working with you!

We take a break from presenting in July and August (but we still work on organizing projects with clients!). See you back in September (schedule below):

Our presentations are FREE to the public, so grab pen and paper and get ready to learn in a fun, engaging, and judgment-free zone!
