Client Feedback

Very beneficial. She had a challenge since I am a pack rat by nature. Her approach was very straight forward (and actually quite simple) which increases the likelihood of maintaining the process she laid out.
- Company President (CEOS Participant)

The experience was intense and inspiring. I have maintained organization in my office and have taken on areas in my home as well.
- Manager (CEOS Participant)

I think this initiative is an excellent idea. The concept of actually blocking off time and having an organizational pro work with Management is absolutely phenomenal!! First of all, I would have never blocked off 4 hours of time to clean out my files and organize my personal folders. Day to day operations, as well as, “fire management” is always sufficient to fill up a day’s work. Second of all, I would not have had the knowledge to organize my files in the manner that was presented. Melissa did an excellent job of emphasizing the “concepts” behind file management instead of the tasks associated with it.

It was an eye-opening experience that I consider to be very valuable to me both personally and professionally.
- Manager (CEOS Participant)

I have always considered myself an organized person. However, I was not organized in an effective and efficient manner, and even more important, I did not have the right mindset. Since going through the training with Melissa, everything I receive whether it is paper or electronic, I ask myself a few questions. Do I need to file these? Do I need to take action? Or do I need to throw it out? For example, emails have overwhelmed me at times. Now, when I receive an email, I ask myself those questions and make a choice. My Inbox is nearly empty at any given point during the day. Prior to the training, I was using three methods to keep up with my appointments and tasks. Now, I only have one - Outlook. I have really benefited from Melissa’s assistance and training on utilizing the Tasks function in Outlook. All my tasks are assigned to a category which makes it easier to find. I print my tasks list each morning with my goal to eliminate as many as possible. This helps me be more productive and stay on top of the things I need to complete. Making changes to my paper filing system has also improved my efficiency. Now, my most used files are easy to locate and are located at an arms length. I have never been so organized and efficient in my 20 year plus career.
