About my home organizing services:     Back to Top

• By clearing away clutter and mess from our home, you have made daily life significantly more pleasant, more relaxed and more convenient.  The return is well worth the investment.   C.D.
   
• This was definitely the best investment I've made in a long time.   N.L..
   
• When my wife made an appointment with you, I admit I was not exactly looking forward to the visit.  But when you arrived, your tact put me at ease and your competence quickly became apparent.  Thank you for the very necessary and helpful service you provide.   J.S.
   
• Thank you for the excellent help you gave me in organizing my files and cleaning out my basement.  I really appreciate the practical hints, the work you did, and maybe most of all, the company and moral support in doing the kind of work I never seem to get to on my own.   J.L.
   
• Your suggestions and positive approach eased my reluctance to admit I needed help.  E.T.
   
• The rest of us are frequently bogged down in abject misery because we have too much stuff and not enough discipline or storage systems to solve the problem.  You have a very valuable ability to look at the situation objectively and generate creative solutions with practical value.  J.W.

About my work with small and home-based businesses:   Back to Top

• Your assistance has saved us time and money!  A.C.
   
• Thanks to you, I'm more productive.  S.K.
   
• Thank you for your help in setting up my office.  Now that I've experienced the value your expertise provides, I can't imagine having an office that you haven't laid out.  S.B.
   
• Your suggestions on visual changes to our office to give the illusion of its being less unwieldy were excellent.  You brought up the psychology of competition when space is in short supply, and the importance of how the space is "marketed."  These were all little things that added up to our getting a lot for the money in hiring you.  Excellent job!  H.L.
   
• You helped me think about my life in ways that go far beyond how to arrange the shoes in my closet.  Your responses to my situation were flexible, not the rote application of a bunch of standard techniques or an attempt to impose a preconceived, one-size-fits-all solution.  Thank you!  N.R.

About speeches I've given:     Back to Top

• You are always a pleasure to listen to, and full of such great ideas!  I went home and changed several things in my kitchen that same weekend.  S.K.
   
• Everyone came away with a smile on their face, ready to tackle the mess and their significant others!!  E.G.
   
• Your talk at the college was great.  It was just the right amount of information and lots of good practical tips.  You were a big hit!  C.E.
   
• Entertaining speaking style.  Fun, dynamic, lively humor.  Anonymous reviewer
   
• Our audience really enjoyed the combination of practical applications, wonderful humor, interesting anecdotes and a thorough knowledge of the topic.  You are a terrific and natural speaker!  T.R.

About training I've offered to professional organizers:    Back to Top

• I find Kathy's presentations to be spiritual first, practical a close second, logical, sensible, a nice mix of personal/professional.  An excellent choice for a speaker.  I also very much appreciate the preparation and handouts.  H.L.
   
• You presented the telecourse so smoothly and simply, uncluttered is the word.  You also made some excellent points I don't think I'll ever forget.  Brilliant!  P.H.
   
• Over the years I have attended many workshops, but I don't recall attending one so well organized (!) or informative.  E.B.
   
• You are so good at this stuff.  Your ideas are sound and your speaking style is so relaxed and focused and articulate and wise.  R.C.
   
• WONDERFUL!  Couldn't have been better!  The most valuable thing I got from the conference.  THANKS!  Anonymous reviewer
   
• Didn't know nuttin' 'bout organizing kids -- do now!  Anonymous reviewer

About my media appearances:     Back to Top

• I heard you on Wisconsin Public Radio yesterday and actually called in to get a tape of the program.  I'm a retired teacher, and now I take care of the house while my wife (a teacher ) and my 14-year-old son go to school.  I'M GOING TO GET THIS HOUSE ORGANIZED and you are the one who has inspired me to do so.  C.C.
   
• I heard a few minutes of your conversation with Joanie Greggins on KGO last week.  One thing you said has REVOLUTIONIZED the way I manage my home.  You said those who are visually oriented need containers that let them see what's available.
       I took the cloth shoe rack from behind my bedroom door, hung it outside the closet, and put my most frequently worn shoes in it.  Now, they're not all lying on the floor in front of the closet.  It's been a week, and I am religiously putting my shoes away when I get home!  No more tripping over a pile of shoes that don't want to go into the closet!  
       Now that I understand my quirky nature, I’m excited about continuing this process.  The trick is to creatively and fashionably put most-used items on display! 
       I appreciate what you've done for me and wanted to express my very sincere THANKS! :)  K.U.

About The Organizing Sourcebook :     Back to Top

• I have just finished reading your book.  It was absolutely excellent, one of the best organizing books I have ever read.  I really enjoyed how you illustrated your points with stories.  I particularly liked your questionnaire at the back to evaluate whether you are a structured or freeform type of person, and what you should focus on and be aware of.  Anonymous reviewer
   
• Everyone should read this.  Anonymous reviewer
   
• I am going to try to implement your ideas. I got your book from the library but now I am going to buy it, as I must have marked about 100 post-it notes on different pages!! (Really, I don't do that with every book I read - it is very rare!!) Thank you for a wonderful and must-read book!  B.G.
   
• I read your book and it providentially addressed the very problems I had been having, not so much with clutter (although I always have that), but with outdated systems. Having that problem defined was the biggest help for me. Since then I have been busy labeling, clearing out, etc. and having a wonderful time. I hope this week to get a CAD-drawn plan of the new office scheme and then we will be on our way to getting that done.  Anonymous reviewer
   
• Thank you for writing this insightful and valuable book for us, our students and clients. I will recommend to my future clients that they use this as a useful tool to get a "jump start" on their journey.  J.T. 
   
• I met you the other night when you came to speak at Borders Books in Boston. Your talk was TERRIFIC. I adored it, very inspiring. I have been reading your book and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I have a fair collection of books on organizing and so when I use the words "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!", it means something!  H.C.
   
• I've started reading your book and was struck by how many of my clients fit your description: people who have become disorganized as a result of a change in their lives. Remarkable! I'm enjoying the book very much.  J.S.
   
• I just finished The Organizing Sourcebook and I loved it! I think it would be really neat if you would make a video using real life cases and how you organize the biggest messes step-by-step. Even better would be a weekly television show on the Home and Garden channel-I'll be watching for it! Thanks for writing such a terrific book.  R.H.
   
• I just wanted to reiterate how much I am enjoying your book.  I'm only halfway through it because I constantly reread what I have previously read.  There is a lot of information and it is very well laid out - I like your format.  B.B.
