Many people say they want to get better organized, but in order to act upon that wish, you must deeply examine your motives for wanting to do so. Your motives must be strong enough to sustain you through the change process. DECIDE is an empowering process that leads to change. It will assist you in achieving results at home, at work, and in life in general. While the process guides a person in making decisions that lead to a more organized state, it is itself a decision; a decision to take control.
Why a Group 'Coaching' Program? Coaching is designed to assist individuals in creating and implementing specific action plans. Coaches use advanced communication skills to help the client create a successful personal and professional life. As a trained mediator, Lisa is skillful at guiding clients to successful results through motivation and encouragement, without judgment. The focus is on asking skillful questions designed to help participants define and achieve their goals. But don't worry! Lisa does more than ask questions. Lisa will also have her certified professional organizer 'expert' hat on throughout the program, offering tried-and-true tools and tricks based on her 7 years of experience working with hundreds of clients to overcome their organizing issues. Each week, you will get 90 minutes of information-packed instruction, along with Q&A. Participants can ask Lisa their questions and get personalized, informative, and effective answers. During the teleclasses, you’ll get an energizing combination of practical tips and suggestions, plus techniques to deal with the emotional side of disorganization and clutter.
What the
DECIDE to be Organized Group
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lisa is superb! I have watched many
organizing shows on television and the organizers often
patterns, not the clients.
If
you are ready to change and need help with any of
your organizing or time management projects, then
join Lisa for her new program,
DECIDE to Be Organized Online Group Coaching Program,
a 6-week teleclass program that allows participants
to be guided through the entire DECIDE process in a
group coaching environment. During these
teleclasses, Lisa will offer guidance, support, and
expertise as you embark on this empowering
process for change. Through DECIDE, you will learn
the tools needed to get better organized, take
control, and make positive changes. |
"I cannot tell you
how you have really changed my life. I know
it sounds corny, but I was in such a bad
place before your workshop. You got me
thinking of how to use your methods for
every aspect of my life and what a
difference! I must say, your seminar really
helped me put things into perspective and
prioritize my activities. I don't
have to do it all at once. What a relief!
It's amazing how organizing your life gives
such peace of mind!" |
Who Is the Perfect Candidate for this Group Coaching
Program?
-
Those
that learn well in a group environment.
Participants will have the opportunity to
interact with each other, realize they are not
alone, and share challenges and solutions with
the group. -
Those outside of Lisa’s geographical area that
cannot work with her one-on-one.
- Those that are on a budget and cannot afford one-on-one organizing services.
- Those that need structure in order to reach their organizing goals. The program includes weekly homework assignments for those that want to work on their own between sessions.
-
Those that benefit from an accountability aspect.
You have the opportunity to report your progress
each week, as well as have access to Lisa and other
participants by email and social media.
Lisa has designed this course to be comprehensive,
but easy to digest. You'll have time to work on your
organizing projects -- in fact, the whole goal of
this program is for you to achieve results on an
individual basis while working in a group
environment! The program is a combination of information,
exercises, and support.

"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.
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/ |
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.Due to the interactive and intimate nature of this program, space is limited! So, if you know this program is for you, act now. You have nothing to lose -- except maybe some clutter, overwhelm, and stress!
Once you register, you will be sent an online survey to fill out. This will help Lisa get to know you and your organizing challenges more. It will also help us achieve a successful group coaching program, as Lisa bridges participants together with similar organizing issues, let's you learn from each other, and know that you are not alone!
There will be 6 (six) 90-minute calls in a
row on Tuesday evenings from February 21 to March
27, each starting at 7:30pm EST. When you sign up today,
you pay only $397!

"Lisa is
multi-talented but what I really like about
her is her approachability. Lisa knows how
to answer the tough questions while making
sure you truly understand the answers."

The D.E.C.I.D.E to Be Organized Group Coaching
Program Outline
Discover what you have at home, at work, and in life.
Week
One
- Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - 7:30-9:00 pm EST 
In this early phase of the process, you must go on a
path of discovery. Introductions will be made with
time for participants to share their biggest
organizing obstacles and goals for the program. We
will discuss the physical "stuff" that takes up
space in your life.
Think of the Discover
step as a time to reflect and conduct a
self-assessment.
Eliminate what is unnecessary and does not further your goals.
Week Two
- Tuesday, February 28, 2012 – 7:30-9:00 pm EST
During this phase, you will need to spend time and
energy thinking about, and ultimately purging items
from your home and office that you do not love, use
often, or need. This class will teach you about how
to say
no to tasks that do not further your goals. We will
address one of the biggest obstacles in organizing –
determining
what to purge.
Categorize
what remains.
Week Three
- Tuesday, March 6, 2012 – 7:30-9:00 pm EST
Categorizing is vitally important as it serves as
the foundation of the organizing system. When
items are stored by category, it is easier for the
brain to process. In this session we will learn how
to "think" in categories so that you store like with
like, making items easier to find, retrieve, and
use. We will discuss tools and tricks to help
categorize such as choosing common characteristics
and “zoning.”
Implement
a system designed to match your needs, habits, work
& lifestyle.
Week Four
- Tuesday, March 13, 2012 – 7:30-9:00 pm EST
For an organizing system to be successful, it must
be tailored to you. That means it must fit
your home, work, needs, habit and lifestyle.
If not, you will be unable to maintain it.
Lisa will share tried-and-true systems that
she has used with hundreds of clients. She will
guide you in developing your own personalized
“system” that will be easily maintainable.
Dedicate
yourself to maintaining your new system and
integrating it into your life.
Week Five
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012 – 7:30-9:00 pm EST
This is the stage when the daily, weekly, and
monthly maintenance comes in. You must commit
to making your organizing systems second-nature, or
your self-help efforts will fail. Week Five will
pull all of the tricks and tips together so that you
have guidelines and goals to maintain your
organizing efforts. You’ll be able to function more
productively as you learn to
stay
organized.
Enjoy
the freedom and positive results being organized
brings.
Week Six - Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 7:30-9:00 pm EST
Think of
Enjoy as the light at the end of the
tunnel. This is the time to bask in your newly
organized systems, and enjoy the fruits of your
labor -- more time and space, improved health and
relationships. We will spend time hearing about
participants’ success stories, as well as their
future goals for after the program.
|
"I saw results
immediately after starting to work with Lisa and
built on our sessions together. Lisa is
extremely creative as an organizer -- no
cookie-cutter solutions, but rather, a
tailor-made system to suit my needs. She is a
great listener and has a keen sense of intuition
the way a dog has an advanced sense of smell --
very astute and well rounded. I highly recommend
Lisa if you are ready to make changes to create
the space of your dreams, or are looking to make
over your mind. Lisa is a very sincere,
intelligent and organized professional!" |

"Lisa is superb! I have
watched many organizing shows on television and
the organizers often force their clients into
THEIR (the organizer's) working and thinking
patterns, not the clients. Lisa has a system
that determines how you work and think." |
But
What If...
...I can't make all the calls?
It's okay. All of the teleclasses will be recorded
and made available within 48 hours. If you still
have questions about the material on the call you
missed, just email Lisa with any questions or
comments.
...I don't know which organizing projects I want to
work on?
Part of the process of the group coaching program is
learning to discover what your organizing goals are,
which projects you want to work on, and what will
bring you the most satisfaction if accomplished.
...I'm not sure I can afford it.
Do
some research. You'll find this is one of the most
affordable programs (and the most comprehensive) of
its kind.
Lisa has kept the cost down so that many
people can access her services in an affordable
manner and get the assistance they need.
…I’ve never heard Lisa speak?

...I am a Professional Organizer Looking for Organizing Education?
If you are a professional organizer and are looking for organizing education, the DECIDE group coaching is perfect for you too! You can take the program to learn a great new organizing process that you can use with your clients. I will issue a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the program that you can use to support 9 hours of continuing education credits. In the past, organizers have have taken the program along with non-organizers as a way to further their organizing skills and add a new process to their repertoire. You can too!
...I want to refer my clients, friends and colleagues to the DECIDE program and earn a referral fee?
I bet you have colleagues, clients, and friends that would like to find out how they can lead a more organized, productive and peaceful life. I have an affiliate (referral) program where if someone purchases one of my products or services that you referred them to, you automatically get 20% of the sale! It's that easy... tell your friends, colleagues and clients and if they buy, you earn a commission. All you have to do is sign up to be an LMOS affiliate and you're given a special link to pass on to your colleagues, clients and friends.

"I was in your
Orange-Ulster Boces 'Get Organized' class
last Fall. My problem was home office/paper,
etc. 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.
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."

"I am really glad I took your DECIDE to be Organized Group Coaching Program. What a great program – thank you! I was able to get organizing education credits and accomplish some of my own projects to boot. Every time I go into my office now, I actually KNOW where everything is! I'm so sad it’s over….I really got motivated to finally tackle the dreaded paperwork and once I did it… well it wasn’t as bad as I had envisioned. I so appreciate your wisdom, insights, humor and how engaged you were with each and every person. ~ Karin Flagg, Professional Organizer, www.OrganizeWithPurpose.com |
