"Lisa has been
instrumental
in my business
decision making and growth."
 "I’m
proud to say that Lisa is someone I consider to be a
role model and mentor in the professional
organizing/productivity consulting industry. She has
been instrumental in my business decision making and
growth. Her background in law and running her own solo-preneur
business is incredibly valuable. She is extremely
intelligent, very experienced in all areas that
organizers/productivity consultants need to attend to,
and she is an incredibly conscientious and generous
listener.
When I was new to the industry, I felt a conflict and
hesitation in paying for someone to answer my questions
– but I have grown to shift my paradigm. The guidance of
a mentor and professional saves an incredible amount of
time and energy in the long run. After hiring several
coaches for myself – I can only say that I wish I had
invested sooner into a coach/mentor relationship. Lisa’s
guidance is treasured and I have no reservations
recommending her and paying her for her expertise. It
will be some of the best investment dollars you can
spend on yourself and your business!" ~ Cena Block,

Sane
Spaces, NAPO-NNJ Chapter President 2011-2012 "I feel like I have a
new lease on
life! "
"I just want you to know how happy I am to be
working with you on business and life coaching. I feel
like I have a new lease on life! I wish I had worked
with you years ago. You are awesome, and the perfect fit
for me. We accomplish so much in our coaching sessions.
Thanks again!" ~ Melanie Serra,

"Your experience and
qualifications as both an attorney and an organizer are
a terrific combination that truly helped me."
 "I so appreciate the business
coaching for legal matters that you did with me. Our
discussion provided clarity for me in dealing with a
legal issue I've been grappling with for several
years--something left over from my past career. And you
also provided a valuable perspective on a legal matter
related to my organizing business and helped me figure
out what next steps to take. Your experience and
qualifications as both an attorney and an organizer are
a terrific combination that truly helped me. Thanks so
much." ~ Janine Adams, Peace of Mind Organizing, St. Louis, MO - http://www.PeaceOfMindOrganizing.com
"You have a great wealth of knowledge and a unique
way of presenting it."
 "Thank you for sharing your business expertise as the
facilitator for the 8-month WEDC women's entrepreneur
mastermind program, and for being so transparent. I
appreciated that! Lisa, you have a great wealth of
knowledge and a unique way of presenting it. You have a
special gift of connecting with people. Your information
was practical and useful. It has given me food for
thought. I wish you the best in all of your future
endeavors. I hope our paths will meet in the future.
Once again, gracias!" ~ Migdalia, Yorktown, NY
Career Coaching
"I ended up with three interviews scheduled in one
week and two offers coming in on the same day!"
"Thank you again for your career coaching
guidance. It helped me put a lot of thought into the
places I was applying. I realized that it is critical to
"believe in" what I am doing. Yes, office work is office
work, but at the end of the day, I have to feel I am
doing something worthwhile. I ended up with three
interviews scheduled in one week and two offers coming
in on the same day! The job I wound up accepting is a
perfect fit. And you hear it over and over today, but
even though I am making less money, I am happier. The
thought process that you helped me with really steered
me in this direction. Otherwise I would most likely just
have repeated history, taken the better paying job and
eventually found myself dissatisfied. Thanks again for
everything." ~ Heidi, Beacon, NY
"I
value her opinion and insight."
"I have known Lisa Montanaro for
five years. Since meeting her, she has served as a
career counselor and mentor to me. Because of her
extensive experience and knowledge, I have always valued
her opinion and insight. She seems to always have a
solution. In fact, Lisa just assisted me in applying for
a position that I received an offer for. Her help was
invaluable from application to interview to negotiating
an offer. I start my new job next month and am thrilled!
I am fortunate to have met her." ~ Sheila,
Middletown, NY
Productivity Coaching
"It has changed me in so many
positive ways."
"Taking the
“DECIDE to be Organized”
6-week group coaching program with Lisa Montanaro
was a business and personal decision that has been so
motivating and empowering! It has changed me in so many
positive ways.
I am also a Professional
Organizer and help others all the time with their
organizing dilemmas. I took the DECIDE program to help
myself, and learn from Lisa both personally and
professionally.
Over the six weeks, I had a
sense of direction and was able to focus more on the
areas that needed help, as I felt accountable. The
weekly calls were a time to share and get feedback from
the other participants, and for Lisa to share her
knowledge and expertise. Lisa was so understanding and
encouraging, and had a way of inspiring each of us to be
better.
I learned so much from this
program and would recommend it to anyone who knows they
want to make changes, and just needs some help to get
there!" ~ Michelle O'Sullivan, Saving Spaces,
Burlington, Ontario, Canada http://savingspaces.ca/
"She is motivating, friendly, and
just what I needed to gain the organizing skills I was
so definitely missing."
"I recently took Lisa's Decide to Be Organized Teleclass.
I always told people "I was born without the organizing
gene" and it was something I really believed. I loved
listening to Lisa's words of wisdom and to the other
call members ups and downs. As the calls progressed, I
noticed I was feeling energized between the calls and
looked forward to sharing my progress. Lisa asks
questions and helps you decide which tools to implement
(not expensive) to get you moving towards your
organizing goals. I am now empowered to make decisions
that I just couldn't make before. She is motivating,
friendly, and just what I needed to gain the organizing
skills I was so definitely missing."

"The phone coaching sessions were effective and very
helpful for me..."
"I
wanted to write and thank you for the help you have
given me in our recent
telephone coaching sessions!
I've had various time management and organizational
problems for some time now, but I never quite knew where to begin with solving
them. I thought about formal classes, but of
course, I didn't want to take time
out to
attend them! So when I realized that you were
available for phone coaching, I thought I would give it
a try! After the brief time it took for you to
assess my situation, I was very pleased with the number
of easy and
practical steps that you suggested to
help me to become more organized, prioritized and effective. I was
especially pleased with the tips you gave me to help
bridge my paper and electronic information, which is
essential to the way I live and work. Since I've
worked on the steps you
suggested to use my paper system to support my
electronic system, and rely on a single source for my
information and prioritized
actions, I have been able to more effectively get my
task lists completed on time and with much less
stress!!!
I
must say that the phone coaching sessions were effective
and very helpful for me, and since that time I have been reading your
e-zine/Newsletter
when it comes out for more tips and insights.
Also, now that I have seen the value of having a subject
matter expert help me with organizing and setting priorities, I am considered
getting some more formal assistance. So, I
strongly recommend to anyone that is struggling with
organizing, time management, or prioritization issues,
to
get some
help! No one should go it
alone, especially when expert help is available to cut
through all of their confusion
and give them a new perspective! And I strongly
recommend you , Lisa, as the expert they should choose!" ~ Mark

"I was truly impressed with Lisa's knowledge,
professionalism and energy."
"I first met Lisa at the Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (IRIS) annual conference in Denver, CO where she presented a seminar on how to add Organizing to your Redesign Business offerings. I was truly impressed with Lisa's knowledge, professionalism and energy. I then participated in Lisa's six-week
DECIDE to be Organized on-line group coaching program. My goal was two-fold in that I was looking for tips for my own personal organizing challenges as well as looking to gain more expertise to pass on to my clients. I found the six-week program to be very beneficial on both fronts. Sharing stories and challenges with others on the call helped to inspire me to tackle the things I had been putting off. In turn, being able to offer encouragement and understanding to others on the call was rewarding as well. As I go through my old boxes of 'stuff' or work with others going through the same process, I continually ask myself Lisa's three key questions - "Do I Love it? Do I Use it? Do I need it?" If not - then out it goes! Thank you Lisa for your inspiration and for offering this on-line coaching program. It has been an eye-opening and rewarding journey! ”

"I am making progress and am much happier."
"I was in your Orange-Ulster Boces 'Get
Organized' class last Fall. My problem was home
office/paper, etc. I just wanted to let you know that I
am about to file my 2005 tax return. This is the first
time that I have not been on double extension in 6
years! This is a tangible measure of success. I have
streamlined certain of my monthly bill paying processes
and am working on others. As a result, I have found the
time to work on scrapbooks for my children. To treat
myself, I plan to work on my scrapbook this weekend.
What a way to celebrate tax day! Thanks again for your
valuable suggestions. I still have many delayed
decisions and need to reconfigure my entry landing zone,
but I am making progress and am much happier."
~ Colleen, Highland
