Friday, August 12th, 2011Organizing Connection Videos
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011Have you checked out the videos offered by recent Red Bench speakers Elaine Shannon and Kimberly Eagles on Organizing Connection yet? They are fantastic! Well written, informative, and fun to watch! I was very impressed with the professional production of these videos and the lighthearted feel.
If you are looking for something to add to your services, or something that you can sell at speaking events to bring in some revenue, you should take a look at these videos and what Organizing Connection has to offer. We all know it’s great to get new clients at speaking events, but not everyone can afford our services–this is a way to help give people some added support and generate a little extra money. See the list of videos Organizing Connection offers here at their website.
Now Available: 6 Steps to Organizing Success
Monday, August 8th, 2011I recently had the wonderful and unique opportunity to interview the fabulous Elaine Shannon and Kim Eagles of Organizing Connection and learn more about their six-step organizing process. Let me just say they were absolutely fantastic! They were full of great ideas and tips that I have already started using with my clients. As an organizer for six years now, sometimes the tips you hear from other organizers can be things you’ve already heard or use. So, I consider it to be a good class when I can take away at least one thing new. With Elaine and Kim’s call I took away several!
If you missed the call, you can purchase it here at the Red Bench website.
