As a busy entrepreneur, I have started three successful businesses, and driven across the country to Montana, all by myself, a feat I never thought was possible. I am a businesswoman, a consultant, a confidant, a teacher, a coach, a wife, a mother and a community volunteer. I have always been a passionate person about not only self-improvement but also about helping people lead their best lives possible.

After my first career as a systems analyst I took a leap to open my first business, a medical staffing company, with no business experience at all. This taught me a lot about a person’s ability to succeed because I dared to reach for the stars!  Throughout my company’s years of operation, I continued to grow and learn about people’s needs, both clients and staff, and my abilities to be successful. I exemplified this by operating two offices and was endorsed by the Academy of Medicine. After 17 years, I sold my business in Ohio to get ready for my move to Montana.

Even before the sale of my first company I was already planning my next business! How could I use the skills that I learned over the years to start another business? What were the best skills that I had? I was able to juggle numerous clients’ needs and schedules, and make them more productive! Was organizing a real job? It certainly was!

I used my organizational skills to help business and residential clients become more organized and more productive by starting a Professional Organizing and Productivity business. This led me on a continuous quest for education, and I recognized the value in enhancing my skills by earning numerous certifications. Furthermore, my reputation led me to being asked to participate in, and then shooting, an episode of the A&E show “Hoarders”.  What a great experience, considering that it was totally out of my comfort zone! This experience provided a personal growth for both myself and the clients and led me to becoming even more passionate about educating people about chronic disorganization and hoarding issues.  I then fulfilled a community need by starting the first Hoarding Task Force in Montana.

Expanding on my business goals and my love for educating people I started to teach classes on paper and time management, estate and life management, and anything else related to being organized, productive and stress free.  I maintain an organizing website and blog, www.organizationalconsultingservices.com and www.professionalorganizer4u.blogspot.com

Throughout all of these transitions, my passion and top priority has been in teaching and coaching people about the endless possibilities in life and assisting them in recognizing their goals and endless potential, even if they didn’t know what they were. I believe in others success’ being my success!

Expanding the coaching side of my Organizing and Productivity business was the natural next step in an ever-evolving quest to help people find their way in life. My training through Coach Training Alliance helped me achieve my next goal of becoming a Certified Life & Business Coach.
