Organizing & Productivity

BEGINNER - INTERMEDIATE

Don’t panic when a client calls asking for help with their move!  Be prepared with questions for potential clients to determine if this project is a good fit for you. You will learn the different ways you can support a client's move. You will hear about potential move pitfalls and ways to adapt. You will come away with checklists to support a move, including supplies, added-value services, and move tips. By the end of the class, you will be ready to showcase your move expertise to clients.

Organizing was a mid-life career change for Gayle and the best possible thing that could have happened to her work life. She spent 25 years as a CPA and after that much time on a computer, she'd had it. Now she understands the old saying "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life!" Organizing is what she's meant to do, and she loves doing it. 
 
Gayle speaks often about organizing and posts a weekly video on YouTube and podcast platforms. She’s happy to offer tips and tricks that will help someone get a grip on their surroundings. Her clients are wonderful people who trust her to help them along that path, and it's always a great partnership. Gayle works with residential clients most of the time, but especially with women in transition. They’re moving on after a job change, kids leaving home, a divorce, or a death in the family, and getting clutter under control helps them move forward from that transition.

Gayle works in the Greater Houston area, and is a member of the local NAPO Houston chapter. She became a CPO® in 2011. She has a roomie and 3 cats at home, and spends her off time beading with a posse of beady chicks who are serious artists with a needle, thread and beads

Ann Zanon

For Career Day in 8th grade Ann told her teacher that she wanted to observe my mom. She wanted to be a mentor for young moms so that everyone could have a mom like hers. Ann wanted to make a difference for families. The teacher agreed that it would be a perfect job for her, but it was not a career day option. 

After earning my degree, Ann met and married my husband. Together, they raised three rambunctious kids. “Everything has a place, and everything should be in its place” wasn’t just a phrase in our home, it was their mantra.

Following her careers as a stay-at-home mom and then as a specialty cake bakery owner, the transition to Professional Organizer was like returning to my roots. She started my organizing business in 2011 and earned her CPO® status in 2014. Her specialty is helping people in crisis or transition with custom solutions. She has done lots of client moves, including one involving three 18-wheeled trucks for just one couple!  In 2018, she directed our move from Connecticut to Texas while simultaneously planning and orchestrating her parent’s 60th Anniversary Party. She has reestablished her business in Houston.
