I’ve reduced my clutter by more than 75%

I’ve reduced my clutter by more than 75% and now have a calm and streamlined physical home office in addition to a more organized hard drive.

As a result of working with Valeri, I’m much more aware of what I physically save and now I’m motivated to streamline my home office even more by going more “digital”.

Valeri knows her stuff. She’s very knowledgeable and systematic … and very personable and fun too!

I’ve learned new skills and tech tools

Photo of Lorrie McKeeAs a result of my sessions with Valeri, I’ve learned new skills and tech tools to help me better manage my time and workload.  I’m now working more efficiently, both personally and with my team.

Her easy non-judgmental approach and sense that she’s seen “people like me” before, always put me at ease. I never felt singled out or incompetent.

Valeri understands the pressures of life-work balance. She takes a practical and realistic approach to work. The one thing I valued was that she always listened to me so she could fully understand my work style, my issues and my needs.  From there she offered solutions that would help me better organize my workload and easily delegate to my team.

Practice and discipline can be a challenge. But I know the systems and tools Valeri has shown me will help me work more productively.

I’d definitely recommend Valeri if you want to get more done in your day!

 professional to my clients.

Since working with Valeri, I’m less overwhelmed by my email inbox. My digital as well as paper files
 are far more organized and I have a system I can follow. All of this is reassuring because it means I can get on with doing what I love in my business … helping my clients change the world by raising more money.

I would highly recommend Valeri any day.  She “gets” small business owners. She’s not judgmental and helped me in a calm, supportive manner.

Photo of Nadine NicholsonAs an entrepreneur, my productivity has a direct impact on my bottom line, both for my business and my lifestyle. I knew I could be doing things better and that’s where Valeri came in. I hired her to objectively assess my productivity in three critical areas – digital, time and workspace. I walked away with a manageable list of practical changes customized to my needs and stage of business. Even better, Valeri didn’t treat me like a formula.

She genuinely got to know my business and how I work, and gave me wise recommendations based on my needs and working style. Valeri has a wealth of knowledge to help you use leverage technology in practical ways to make you work smarter. She makes it real, tangible and achievable. Valeri helped me uncover opportunities that I couldn’t see myself. You’ll get your investment back in a heartbeat.

I now feel better able to use technology to keep me organized

I hired Valeri to assess digital efficiency and workspace organization. Her evaluation was thorough and detailed. I appreciated the clarity around action items that were achievable. Two key sessions with Valeri provided me with the more knowledge around utilizing systems available to me (i-phone, email, etc…) and an organized work space.

Valeri’s expertise is truly valuable and has direct impact on business productivity. I recommend hiring her. She will identify opportunities you’re not even aware of.
