It is wonderful working with Kristen. Her ability to listen to me and assess my needs then come up with a doable plan that works so well for me is such a pleasure. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Kristen! She is professional, supportive, available, and knowledgeable about the job search process. I am a middle-aged woman changing careers, and I am thankful to have had Kristen help guide me through this tough process. She taught me how to format my resume and cover letter properly, conduct myself during the interview process, and best of all, she helped boost my confidence. I sat for interviews and accepted a new position. I would not have been this successful if I had done this without her help. Now I have the tools to continue to move forward with my new professional life. Thank you, Kristen!

Kristen worked with me to overhaul my paper filing system. This included my office space, and my back-up storage filing system. There were so many files that needed to be relocated and set up by category that at times when I would begin to get overwhelmed, she allowed me the time to catch my breath and to wrap my head around the work that needed to be done. Kristen also prompted me to purge more than I would have if it were not for her help. She worked with me to develop a system that would run the way I like to work so that I can save time and be more efficient with getting my paperwork put away as I go. She listened to what was important to me and adapted to my preferences. Her organized and helpful approach was much appreciated. She rolled up her sleeves and worked right alongside me. We accomplished so much together. I truly enjoyed working with Kristen, and I am very grateful for all of her help. I highly recommend Kristen for her professional and practical service. I am sure she can help you get your life better organized as well.

My wife & I worked with Kristen in relation to a move into our new home. She was truly a blessing during such a stressful time. Kristen created a packing schedule, provided a comprehensive supply list and even obtained expense quotes from needed service providers. Her professionalism, attention to detail and helpful attitude should be considered second to none. She even included fun activities, so our young daughter could participate in the experience, while we were so busy. Could not recommend Jillson Shire & Kristen highly enough!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are never a surprise. Each client understands session pricing information before we begin. Life coaching sessions are flat fee per session with a multi-session discount. Estate / Home / Office Organizing considers the depth, breadth, type of organizing, and the timing /urgency of the project and is quoted with a per-hour and per-project rate. Retainer and Milestone Plans are available for long-term projects. Simple projects can be very affordable!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like our initial consultation to be a relaxed chat via phone for typically 15-30 minutes. I explain my terms of service and make sure you, the client, understand and are comfortable with how we will work together. We'll dive into some specific and thought-provoking questions to be able to ascertain the scope, goals and desired outcomes, and to determine a realistic timetable. We will also discuss your readiness to bring your project to the "Hooray, we're done!" stage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been Life Coach and Professional Organizer for 28 years. I have held a number of positions in management, leadership, financial operations, human resources, small business, start-up business, and private estate management that have built a body of experience to provide a strong foundation across many platforms of knowledge. My work history has encompassed the private, non-profit and public spheres. Additionally, I like to incorporate the experiences I have from travelling the world and seeing how people from different countries, cultures, work environments, family situations, and living arrangements are successful and make these ideas, tips and processes work for YOUR project and YOUR success.
