"Kathy Waddill is a phone book speaker.  People would pay
        to listen to her read the phone book!"   
                                     - The Executive Director of a National Trade Association, 2005

If you're looking for a dynamic speaker to entertain and inform your group, you've come to the right place!  I adore talking to groups of all types and sizes about how to get and stay organized. What more can a natural-born teacher desire than the opportunity to bring a whole room-full of people to an "Aha!" moment?  Unless it's the chance to send them out into the world brimming over with great ideas!

Every one of my presentations uses humor and real-life stories to illuminate the basic principles of organizing.  And since the same principles apply everywhere -- homes, offices, small businesses, families, corporations, schools, classrooms, places of worship, you name it -- it's easy to tailor a presentation to your group's unique specifications.

Your audience will come away from one of my speeches with:

• A smile on the face of everyone in the group

• A pile of practical tips to keep life working smoothly

• A true-to-life definition of what "organized" really means

• A new perspective on the reasons piles grow up and won't go away, along with practical strategies to tackle each one

• A clear understanding that there's no one "right way" to be organized
