The COVID-19 pandemic has been and still is a historical crisis for humankind that affects our entire
planet. Crises such as global climate change, war and militarism, but also industrial agriculture,
racism, social-economic injustice, and gender violence also require attention. While these issues may
not seem connected, they are all human made and have global impact. They are likewise an
opportunity to transform our thinking.

Shift Your Mindset: Tapping into Client Strengths

Shift your mindset for more effective results! Valuing what your clients bring to the table is a game changer. “Shift Your Mindset: Tapping Into Client Strengths,” teaches you to focus on strengths during client assessments and appointments and how to apply it for the long term. Your clients will be more comfortable working towards their organizing and productivity goals, leaving them in a better place. Even if clients hire us to “fix” what is wrong, we do not have to approach the work from a deficit-based mindset. We can guide our clients to tap into their gifts from within.

The organizing industry is big business. According to businesswire.com, U.S. demand for home organization products is expected to reach 12.7 billion in 2023. Fabric-lined bins and bamboo drawer separators can wait. More important is the actual work of sorting, organizing, and setting up systems. In this session, Leslie challenges the notion that being organized equals being “Instagram-worthy” and shares her process for setting up client spaces. This special session features highlights from an individual consultation with one lucky conference attendee.
