What is it like to work with Margaret and New Leaf?

On this page you’ll learn what kind of results my clients have reported. I’ll also give you a sense of my guiding beliefs, approach to client projects, and what makes me different from other organizing coaches and consultants.

Expected results

* When you work with me, you can expect to see desirable and sustainable change in your organization of time, paper and projects.
* You will move forward on important projects with new energy, confidence, and ease.
* Projects that seemed stuck or out of control will be organized into manageable pieces. What once looked impossible will look do-able, and you will see progress. If I’m responsible for the whole project, you’ll see completion.
* You will have a new understanding of how you use your time. You may do more, or you may use your time differently. You will not feel bullied or pushed.
* You will see your paperwork as a flow that you can control and direct.

My organizing philosophy

Organizing allows you to expand and gives you room to grow. At work and at home, life is full of change, and change is messy. Organizing your time, paper and projects helps you enjoy your work and your life more, experiencing the inevitable changes with less stress.

Organizing a not a moral issue; it is a tool. Though people often feel shame, embarrassment, or guilt over some lack of organization, disorganization is simply a sign that old systems and habits are no longer sufficient for current circumstances.

There are many causes of disorganization. Therefore, you and I need to consider many solutions. That’s why I don’t promote any one system, planner or software product.

My approach

I respond to your needs, not someone else’s. Together we assess your situation, I listen to you, and we customize your solutions.

While there are certain principles of organization that apply in all situations, there are many tools to use. I’ll search for the ones that will produce the best results for you with the greatest ease.

I’ll stay with you for as long as the job takes, but not longer. While I’m there, I’ll give you the skills necessary to maintain and replicate any system or process we use. I teach you to organize yourself.

What makes Margaret and New Leaf stand out among professional organizers?

I care deeply about your business. With experience in finance, corporate training, consulting for Fortune 500 clients, small business management, and professional organizing, I am able to help a wide variety of businesses make sustainable change.
