Learn proven techniques to:

Employees Take Ownership

When employees take ownership of their space and productivity everyone wins. Some of the top recommendations for motivating employees are money, incentives, flexibility, creating a friendly and positive work environment. As a Certified Agile Trainer, we know, first hand, techniques that allow employees to work together toward a goal and encourage conversation and accountability.

Add to this list employees that are organized, that spend less time looking for what they need (both physically and electronically) and you will create a work environment that will increase your profitability and save time and money! Helping your employees learn how to be organized – and stay organized – is one of the best ways to create a positive and productive environment in the work place. This is why we have partnered with an expert in the field of office organization, Sue McMillin. Sue has trained business leaders in the following industries: medical, associations, financial, IT, banking, hotel and non-profit.

My passion to think outside the box in a more Agile mindset meshes well with Sue’s mindset and training. With her long list of training experience throughout the world, it made sense to partner together to help businesses be more productive.

Together, Sue and I offer a One Day Workshops that include hands-on coaching for up to 10 employees. This is a win/win for your company’s ROI (And your employees can use these techniques to help organize them at home too!).

Sue is funny and engaging as she shares the steps to simplify and organize your office (and home). Learn the 3 top reasons that people struggle with clutter, how “going through your work to get to your work” is costing you time and money and finally you’ll see how order positively affects your work & home life.

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

Part ONE: Seminar

Strategies for Organizing Your Work

The day begins with a 2 hour seminar where attendees learn the how-to’s of workplace organization, then return to their offices to implement the changes.

In the workplace organization seminar we cover how to:

Apply the 5-Step Procedure to workplace organizing
Streamline files using the innovative FileMAP® System
Track vital papers using the 3D Process
Implement the single crucial paradigm that will change the way you work
Establish a tracking system for time-sensitive documents
Organize your computer files and emails
Find any document in 30 seconds
Gain 25-40% more filing space
Reclaim 50% more usable storage space
Save up to an hour a day
Save money on supplies

Break for Lunch

Part TWO: Hands-on Coaching

Following the seminar and throughout the day, we rotate between attendees, providing individual assistance and accountability to organize their work space. We will address specific concerns each person has in their own office area.

Through this solution, each participant will learn what to do with each new piece of information, understand how to improve work flow, achieve more productivity, and worry less.

Workshop Testimonials

“Sue met with all of our salespeople and key managers. She works towards having an organized system for each person where they can handle paperwork without piles developing. We hauled off two dumpster loads of trash and greatly improved the efficiency of the office. I would highly recommend her services.”

E.P. Haily, TRANE

“A brief note to tell you the FileMap® seminar and strategy are impressive. I have been searching for ways to develop a sense of team spirit among members of the group, your class has helped to foster that spirit- in addition to helping us get our computer files organized.”

Bissonnette, Victor O. Schinnerer & Company, Inc.

What Clients Say

Linda Clevenger, Lead Organizer and Motivator at Organization Direct is a good friend and a fabulous organizer, downsizer, right sizer — just every kind of effort that is needed to gain control of your “stuff.” She is amazing as not only does she actually and physically do the organizing, but she provides a wonderful dose of personal support as her clients (me) agonize over whether to keep something and if so, where to put it. I have a completely organized, labeled basement utility room where everything is in its place and I routinely can find exactly what I am in need of. And she is fun, realistic and optimistic during the whole process!

L.B., Fredericksburg, VA

My elderly parents are attempting to downsize and were completely overwhelmed by the years and years (and years) of documents overtaking every square inch of my dad’s home office. They were paralyzed about what to keep and what was OK to toss… After one session with Linda, my parents are all smiles. I am, too, and I’m especially grateful to Linda for her wonderful communication with me throughout the project. Linda is worth twice what she charges!

Unnamed

We could not have gotten organized without you. This is our 4th downsize and we were just tired of trying to make the decisions about what to keep, where to donate items and the physical demands of it all. You have saved us money (by eliminating a storage unit), helped us make decisions that seemed so hard before and, most importantly, helped us regain our life. You are patient, understanding and keep a positive attitude through the entire project.

Kendra H.

I consider myself to be organized but felt like I was missing out on opportunities to grow business. We needed a system to track multiple events, leads, paperwork and marketing opportunities. Organization Direct developed a personal Road Map for New Contours that allows us to track prospects, clients and follow-ups and also track our networking and marketing efforts to ensure positive results. Managing our time will be a lot less effort now that we have a system in place. We have found out that the key to getting our business organized is consistently following a system. Thanks Organization Direct.

Kendra Sheets, Owner, New Contours

Linda, you have saved me money! We had found many items hidden away for years. This was in November, and it eliminated much shopping because we had found so many new presents. I was thrilled. I enjoyed working with you and your enthusiasm helped to motivate me to get the job done. Thank you.

T.K., Fredericksburg, Virginia

Thank you so very, very much. That this was the best birthday present ever about a million times!!! It is so awesome that I keep going into it to enjoy (when I used to avoid it at all costs that’s why I got a laptop so I was able to not even go in there to use my computer anymore). It’s gorgeous and we are very relieved!!!!! This is an awesome example of what you can do for people AND in four hours none the less!!!! That is truly amazing. Thanks for taking a huge stressor out of my life Linda.

C.T., Fredericksburg, Virginia

I want to tell you that I have been totally thrilled with your services. My husband was extremely happy when he saw what we accomplished and is anxious for us to schedule another session. I love walking into my living room and kitchen and it is so easy to prepare meals because everything is organized and my counters are clear.

Spotsylvania County School Teacher

Linda was extremely organized and attentive. She was thoughtful, calling before so we could focus our time and attention. She helped me create strategies to implement in several rooms in my house, and coached me through an initial purge in my office so when she left I felt like I had made a small dent in my organizing needs, and had a plan for what to take on next. Great investment!

Kimberly P.

Linda has helped me purge many of my items I thought were dear to me. She supported me along the way and more importantly did not judge me . Linda is kind, but efficient. She has made me realize I can still be the person, without all the stuff!! Love you, Linda. ??? You gave me the present of an organized tomorrow.

Teresa K.

We met with Organization Direct to find out how they could help us get our office organized and fine-tune our processes. We had systems in place but knew that there had to be a better way to streamline our time more efficiently. Organization Direct helped us develop personalized and easy solutions to streamline and transform our office systems so that we could quickly and easily find what we need – when we need it. We look forward to all the additional time that we will be able to dedicate to our business and family.
