Interested in a Career as a Professional Organizer?
...The information provided in both handbooks and during disucssions was extremely helpful in learning the different aspects of
Professional Organizing; client stories, business finances, NAPO, becoming a CPO. After the conclusion of PO102, I was very educated
on the various steps to take in order to succeed in Professional Organizing!

...This was a great class and full of so much valuable information. I enjoyed that you gave us a broad view of the industry and career
development but also shared many of the details of everything. The binder is a great take home resource as all the information is a lot to
take in and I've appreciated being able to go back to reference it.

...I officially opened my new business as a Professional Organizer and want to thank you for being so instrumental with your classes to
get me started!
