“I thought the presentations, materials, knowledge of speakers, pace of the program, etc. (all of it) all fully met my expectations. They were all good, well thought out, documented, in an orderly manner as I thought they would be from a professional business.

I felt the overall program exceeded my expectations because most teachers/classes would nickel and dime you for the extras which you did not do. It was so nice to get your book, two instruction manuals (Unit I and II), access to the class videos for repeats/reviews, book by Chris Crouch, File Solutions Home Filing System, the Professional Organizer Training Institute™ Logo to add to our business cards and brochures, a reliable resource for webmaster services, a resource/mentor (you) for asking questions after the completion of the class, a lawyer and CPA guest speakers (and to be able to ask questions), a small class (better for special attention/questions and getting to know others), hands-on experience and with instructor on site (for questions/help/review), able to have access to the before and after pictures for our portfolio, able to have access to the client's testimonial for our portfolio, word attachment/documents sent to us so we can download, tour/field trip of container store, fantastic lunches, and on-and-on. I felt like I got so much extra items (as listed above) than I thought I would get. It was these "extras" that pushed the overall program to exceeding my expectations rating.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class. I felt like it helped improved my confidence. The class gave me the reassurance I needed to go forward and to know I was in the right career. Thanks Anne for all you do. You ae a blessing to the organizing Industry. Teresa February 2010


“My deepest thank you to you for an amazing training and life learned information. I truly am so appreciative of your time and the relationship we will form as I look to you as my mentor for advice. The training was awesome and I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your time and this class.” Tonya Polk, Colorado - August 2009

“Thank you so much Anne for the wonderful time and information you shared with us. I look forward to a new chapter in my life and I am grateful to know I have you as a mentor!” Sharon Nolte - August 2009

"Terrific Anne! You organized an amazing amount of (all helpful, pertinent) material into these three days. Your delivery style is really smooth and well paced. Thank you for a valuable, palatable, and good-value training experience." Jeanne Kimble, Washington - June 2009

"Excellent experience!! I liked the pace, setting, and meals. The materials are extremely helpful. The practicum was a perfect way to learn how to access clients’ needs and see a positive outcome. Thank you so much, Anne. I want to be like you when I grow up. " Patty Barker, Oregon - June 2009

"I really enjoyed the entire process. I just wish it was longer!! Thank you for doing this type of training program. I feel I can now go back to North Carolina and get my business started. " Becky Midyette, North Carolina - June 2009

“I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and I am amazed by the volume of information Anne was able to discuss in the time-frame. Anne’s willingness to share her knowledge is wonderful. I don’t know if I’d be able to successfully pursue this career without the knowledge I gained from Anne. I considered another training program in the LA area but this program seemed much more comprehensive and offered more tools and materials to get me started. Anne was very receptive to questions and forthcoming with knowledgeable feedback. I feel like this seminar provided all that I need to get started in my own Professional Organizing business—the seminar EXCEEDED my expectations.” Elizabeth Carbone – Los Angeles, CA - February 2009

“I felt the entire program was excellent! Anne has a terrific approach and she is very knowledgeable. I feel I have a very good foundation in which to start my business. The full-day client practicum was EXTREMELY beneficial” Sharon Kostek - February 2009

“I really enjoyed your class and I have gained a tremendous amount of valuable information. It is really helping me get my business started. Thank you.” Nancy Lochmann - California

“The sessions are jam-packed with important, complete and relevant information for getting your business started in the near future. Also, I looked at NAPO's classes but this was going to cover all the areas of getting a professional organizing business started in a short time frame. I could have a complete and comprehensive overview without worrying about having holes in my training. And I could be up and running much faster.” Nicola Wood, Washington DC


“I think Unit 1 is crucial for first time organizers who have not read materials, books, or taken a course for beginners. There are some excellent business plan and marketing suggestions that will be supremely helpful to all first timer organizers. I found the materials to be very thorough and practical. The only reason to fail is lack of motivation. The instructor is very easy to listen to and very responsive to questions and e-mails from the students. I feel my money has been spent wisely as Anne takes the participants through a thorough orientation of practical information for a professional organizer. I cannot imagine anyone just starting out in this business without this training as there are potentially complex issues with client needs. I feel that the sessions have been well organized and chock full of useful suggestions” Linda Diamond – Marietta, Georgia

“As someone who is just forming the idea of starting this business, I was delighted to find your course so thorough and informative. I'm sure this will save me from making costly mistakes and, more importantly, keep me from wasting time. I feel like I now have a blue print for moving ahead. There was enough information to let me know that this is the path I want to take. You are providing a very valuable product.” Lynn

“Superb. Vital information clearly presented.” Lisa Reeves, www.clearmyclutter.org New York City, New York

“I felt the entire program was excellent! Anne has a terrific approach and she is very knowledgeable. I feel I have a very good foundation in which to start my business. The full-day client practicum was EXTREMELY beneficial” Sharon Kostek - Buffalo, New York

“I took this class approximately 7 months in to my professional organizing business and wish I had known about it prior to starting my business as much of the material was very valuable. If I'd had some of this information prior to beginning my job of "starting up" would have been much easier. I'm glad I'm signed up for Unit II.” Bonnie Carr – Spearfish, South Dakota

"This training experience not only game me extended knowledge, but a great deal of confidence to get my business off and running. I really enjoyed each lesson and found them extremely valuable both in content and materials. The content was excellent and really helped me gain some confidence in getting my business started. I really appreciate the three thirty-minute presentations because I hope to do something like that to get my name out."

Julie Atha – Westminster, Colorado
