\"congrats<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2000, I read an article in the Houston Chronicle about the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and professional organizing. The rest is history. It\u2019s Professional-Organizer.com\u2019s platinum anniversary!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 2000, the organizing and productivity industry has changed. It\u2019s not only about organizing stuff. \u00a0Just a few of the niches I work in with my clients with ADHD range from organizing spaces<\/a>, to organizing families, to helping those with chronic disorganization,<\/a>\u00a0to organizing papers<\/a>, to coaching about productivity<\/a>, to coordinating teams<\/a> and facilitating strategic small business conversations. My work is about simplifying and strategizing, helping my clients reach the goals they have defined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let the glass clinking begin with this celebration!<\/h3>\n

I celebrate the benefits that we together create. \u00a0There\u2019s a lot to be worried about in our universe and creating order and simplicity helps you keep calm and carry on. \u00a0Each of us us knows that keeping it simple sweetie helps us follow through on our core values. \u00a0My clients hold dear family, connections,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I celebrate with my clients on their big and small successes. The size of the success is in the clients\u2019 goals and perspectives. \u00a0Success includes keeping the kitchen counter clear of paper to tracking with dates for work life integration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I celebrate my connections. \u00a0It\u2019s all about relationships and support. \u00a0Support is an essential element in our lives. \u00a0By bringing ongoing support to my clients, they have someone to turn to in overwhelming, difficult, complex situations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I celebrate my industry. \u00a0We are professionals with high standards of ethics, client focus, and education. \u00a0My Certified Professional Organizer credential shares that I value this for myself and my clients. Our industry has grown to service so many in so many ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you to each of you for our connection and our collaboration!<\/p>\n
