How it Works
Approach/Philosophy
I find that working side-by-side with clients yields a longer lasting result. I am not a company that typically comes in and does a complete home overhaul without your, the client’s, involvement. I am a company that takes the way you process things, your emotions, and the flow of your household and business into consideration. I ask a lot of questions initially because my goal is to have the system that we come up with work for the long haul.
I know that every space and every person is different, and so my process and approach to each job is ‘people first’ focused. I come from a long line of engineers, mental health professionals, and business owners. My father is an engineer and mother is a retired therapist. With that DNA make-up, there’s no doubt in my mind that I found the perfect career – and passion!
Most of my clients have the skills to be organized and productive, but for some reason are not applying the skills in the correct way. Most of the skills were learned as a child that are then taken into adult-hood. Not every person maintains their space in the same way, so no one solution works for everyone. For example, a person who is right-handed should set up their desk, kitchen, or work-space different from someone who is left-handed. It is those characteristics that I take into consideration.
Appointments are scheduled on the needs of the clients, and I have clients who book:
- One (1) appointment
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Quarterly/seasonal
- Special project
In hopes to cut environmental impact, EMPOWER! strives to re-use and repurpose items already in your home or office to increase organization. Oftentimes, you have what you need to be organized, but the product is not being used in the correct capacity. I do not want to give you a shopping list of ‘must buy’ before or after an appointment. However, there are plenty of products and systems out there that may be helpful to increase your organization. I will always suggest those products, and will work with you to find the exact product for your needs and budget.
What is a Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant?
I think a Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant’s job description varies depending on the client’s needs. Ultimately, they come up with solutions that are specific to the client, and specific to the client’s project. That person works in collaboration with the client while striving to create an easy transition incorporating system into daily activities.
Scheduling
COVID-19
Not only do I want you to be healthy and safe, I want to keep myself and my family healthy and safe. In response to COVID-19 and under the guidelines of the County of Santa Clara, I have documented health and safety protocols. Those protocols are electronically distributed to new clients prior to the first in-person meeting. In person meetings are also confirmed at least 48-hours in advance and confirm any health changes.
