Speaking Engagements

My mission with TCO is to help others live organized and stress free. On the front lines, I roll up my sleeves and dig into your toughest home organizing projects. But I also love to teach!

I believe any group or company can use a refresher in good organizing habits and strategies, and would be honored to join you in that effort. I speak to employee groups, parents groups, governmental organizations, churches and others on the following:

  1. Paper Management: Control the Chaos!
  2. Time Management: Owning your schedule – Owning your life!
  3. Take Control 101: Basic Organizing Skills, Tips, and Tricks
  4. Family Organizing: In Control and Healthy at Home!

Custom speeches available for your organization. Contact me for details!


Getting started with TCO is simple.

The Needs Assessment - what needs to be organized?
First, I have a simple audit I like to perform before we begin work. Typically, I will ask how the space is used, what elements you find are working in the space, and what is not. With your help, I can get a snapshot of your organization challenge in anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. Then, together we can determine how you would like to use the space, in your ideal setting.

Provide Solutions and a Plan
After evaluating the space, I go to work to build a plan of sensible solutions that work for you. This will be our road map that will guide us and make our time and work efficient. The plan will include specific action I will take, tools and supplies if needed, a construction outline (if light remodeling is required), along with a list of resources including services and contractors which may be required to complete your project.

Implement Plan
Let's get to work! With our plan in place, we can begin organizing your space. We will work within your schedule to complete your project. During your project, we may need to go shopping for new products or supplies to make your space work. While it is preferable for us to shop together, with a plan in place we are happy to shop for you.

Follow Up
Once we complete your project, you will need time to live in it. You will take some time to adjust to your new organized space, ensure you can find everything quickly, and most importantly, that it is easy for you to maintain your newfound organization. If any adjustments need to be made, we will do so at this time.
