Meet the OSCARs

Who hires a professional organizer? Clients come in every age, size and color. They are male and female. They work in all kinds of jobs and live in all kinds of residences. They own businesses that deal with medicine, law, retail sales, personal services, warehousing and production. They are all, however, OSCARs. That stands for Overwhelmed, Smart, Courageous, Available, and Resolute.

Those who seek help from a professional organizer are OVERWHELMED by the prospect of organizing time or space, a project or event. For myriad reasons, they cannot access the resources to get it done. Some come to this realization slowly after several failed attempts at doing it themselves. Some have a flash of insight before they ever begin to tackle the task.

Fortunately, when they realize they cannot do it alone, they are SMART enough to ask for help from a capable source. Many do this by accessing the The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) resource file that is available to the public on line a www.napo.com.

Once they have identified the professional organizer that is right for them, they are COURAGEOUS enough to make the call to set an appointment with the organizer. It is not easy to ask for help and invite an unknown person to review your problem. Those who do are brave.

Once a commitment is made to hire a professional organizer, clients are AVAILABLE to make changes and learn new skills that help them achieve their goals. They work with the organizer to develop systems that support them.

Clients remain RESOLUTE to maintain environments that make them comfortable and promote their well-being. Most come to view their decision to hire a professional organizer as a turning point in reaching a happier lifestyle.

Over the next several weeks, I am going to introduce you to a few OSCARs and outline how using a professional organizer helped them achieve their goals.
