Training and Certification Workshop
How
To Conduct
Eyes
of a Stranger
Needs Assessments
v Discover
what’s going on in your client’s environment
v Unravel
the strands of your client’s tangled web
v Explain
the underlying issues clearly to your client
v Translate
what you see into a custom organizing plan
The Needs Assessment you conduct at
your first meeting with a new client sets the tone for your entire
working relationship. That’s why it’s absolutely crucial to provide
your best service and advice in that initial consultation. When you
dedicate 2-3 hours to understanding your client’s real organizing
challenges, you both win. Your client knows what s/he wants and sees
clearly how to get the desired results. And you get to offer your
best, most focused advice without being distracted by the hands–on
work of organizing. Not only that, you’ll be able to charge more
because the assessment lets you demonstrate the incredible value your
expertise brings!
Now you can learn to do more
effective initial consultations at Kathy Waddill’s training
and certification of her tried–and–true method for conducting Needs
Assessments. Kathy is known nationwide for her unique
Eyes of a Stranger Method™.
She’s taught its basic principles
to overflow crowds at four of the last six NAPO National
Conferences. Because of the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response,
NAPO now lists Needs Assessments as part of the core curriculum for
professional organizers and is partnering with Kathy to teach the
Eyes of a Stranger Method
as PO-201 in its formal education program. Kathy's ideas are
also featured in NAPO's "Starting an Organizing Business" class
(PO-101).
Don’t miss this chance to
increase your income, deepen the level of service you provide to
your clients, differentiate your services from those of your local
colleagues, and learn the trade secrets of a master organizer!
