What Is a Coaching Organizer?

We now offer the empowering techniques of coaching as part of our organizing services.
 
What is coaching?
Basically coaching is a guided conversation with the purpose of effecting change. According to the International Coach Federation website, coaching is the partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. A coach encourages clients' self-discovery, believes  clients are  experts in their own lives, and holds clients accountable. Some techniques that a coach uses are: partnering, active listening, powerful questioning, and endorsing a client’s strengths. The coach helps clients dig deeper to uncover their unique perspectives. Organizing coaching topics include: exploring goals, getting unstuck, working on motivation, resolving a decision or simply gaining clarity on an organizing issue. Coaching makes the difference!
 
How is coaching integrated into organizing?
Coaching is often used up front to clarify goals and to explore a client’s motivation for change. During a session, coaching ensures that  progress aligns with the client's goals. When a client reaches a roadblock during an organizing session, coaching is effective to explore and resolve the issue expeditiously. Following a session, coaching is used to evaluate progress, acknowledge success and establish future actions. Coaching is equally productive in the hands-on situation or in virtual sessions.

Take Control/Tidy Your Home

July is here already! The past few months have incongruously flown and crawled by at the same time. It seems the COVID-19 pandemic kept me in an extended holding pattern - like a really long snow day – where I ignored lots of household tasks. Can you identify? Is it time to take control and tidy up your home?
 
Initiate a first step to get back into the decluttering swing of things. Here are some (short and sweet) ideas:
 
  • Organize your car.
  • Declutter a closet, bookshelf or kitchen drawer.
  • Shred the waiting pile of papers.
  • Clean, freshen and air out blankets.
  • Re-arrange a room.
  • Tidy up your house plants.
  • Declutter newspapers and magazines.
  • Thin out a coat rack or shoe rack.
  • Clean out the freezer.
  • Take a bag of donations to a charity.
  • Organize hobby materials.
 
Take control - One step leads to more!
