"Erin really took the time to listen and understand my needs. She helped me refine my vision for the space and provided great suggestions and insight. Erin made the process an enjoyable one. Thanks Erin!"

"Margaret saved my life.  She was able to come into my office, which was a disaster and within hours had me on track.  It has taken a few "follow up" sessions to keep me clean, but every session there is great improvement.  Eliminate Chaos' tag line should really be:  'We give you your life back.'"

 

- Brooks Powell, Powell Homes
 
“Laura’s knowledge of the vast capabilities of Outlook was amazing. I learned more from her in 30 minutes about organizing within Outlook than I had been able to figure out on my own in 10 years.”       

- Kevin Howard, The Howard Group, Inc.

 

"Laura Leist provided our members with common sense techniques on how to organize one's business and personal life in these times of avalanches of information.  We are very appreciative and recommend her as a speaker and workshop facilitator."

- Bill Vadino, Executive Director,  Kirkland Chamber of Commerce
 

"Laura and her team steered us with firm and friendly hands through our move into our new streamlined office space.  They took time to understand our unique challenges as a large graphic design firm, and offered expert advice on the big picture and the small details. Eliminate Chaos motivated us to purge 10 years of paper samples and various paperwork and provided us with a plan to use as a guide for where the post-purge essentials would live in our new office.  They offered fresh ideas about the casework for our new space and on moving day they worked with our staff to unpack and help organize our new spaces.  We were in good hands!"

 

- John Carroll, Methodologie
 

"You have been a fabulous organizing partner.  I have so appreciated your kindness as we have worked our way through our years of stuff, and all of your good organizing and design suggestions."

 

- Michelle Graunke
 

"I wanted to let you know what a fabulous job you did speaking and how much of a pleasure it was to listen to your presentation. I think that office organization is an often overlooked topic, yet poor organization can affect every aspect of your business. Luckily, I was able to pick up some really great tips last night."

- Melissa Mellroth, Ruth's Chris Steak House
 

"We both understand the principles of getting rid of clutter but somehow there was too much inertia to overcome, which in turn blocked any real forward progress. Each time we tried, we would spend several well-intentioned days working through some files and then other issues would emerge to occupy our time.  Consequently, we really did not make sufficient forward progress.

Our thought in hiring Margaret was to leverage her expertise in organizing, but even more, her capacity as a 'coach' to keep us focused on achieving our objective of living without clutter.  That seems a lofty goal, but I can tell you that we are currently living without clutter!   Interestingly, during the process, we discovered that a number of things that really were important, but had become buried, presumably to be looked at another day.  Now, we have a clear picture of what we own, where it is and why we are keeping it.  The rest of the 'stuff' - well, it's available at your local Goodwill store.  Thanks Margaret!"

 

- Steve & Nancy
 
"Every day I walk into my back bedroom and feel as if I have a new home.  What a difference 8 hours of uncluttering can do to a room.  It's awesome - and a pleasure to spend time there now.  It has also given me the push to make sure the rest of my place is up to snuff."  Your very loyal fan!

 

- Thurbon Tukey
 
"Thank you so much for the great work you have been doing for Dave.  Peace of mind was what I wanted for him and that's what you delivered.  I can't thank you enough.  He is surprised that he can now walk into the office without fear and dread every day!"

 

- M.G. (Dave's wife)
 
"I enjoyed working with Margaret and feel good about my office and computer setup.  I particularly liked the way she helped me build on what I already had and was comfortable with, rather than suggesting I start from scratch with an entire new system."

 

- Laurie Dahahy, Head Start
 
"After going through every box in the house, I saved myself $8,500 in taxes and found 2 checks worth $3,500 that had not been cashed.  No wonder I am so motivated to keep this up!  I am confident that my organizational relief project will enable me to do more business, be more efficient with my client files, and reduce the stress this career tends to put on my family life.  Thank you Margaret and Laura!"

 

- Jennifer Blum, Real Estate Agent, Coldwell Banker Bain

 

" I was at Denise's delivering product and heard a great compliment that I wanted to share with you.  One of the gentlemen installing cabinet hardware told Denise that based on what the inside of her office cabinets and drawers looked like 'Martha Stewart would be envious of her organizational skills.'   Denise told him all about you and told him that you were very talented and had been a great help to her."

- Jill Turner- Willox, Designer
 

"I got my car in the garage today!!  No more scraping ice off.  I can't thank you enough - you are my hero.  I'm telling everyone about your service."

- Kim Gillespie
 

"Laura saved my sanity and helped my home-based business immeasurably.  She has a unique ability to tackle the logistical problem head-on while dealing with the stress and frustration created by the situation simultaneously.  I could not recommend anymore more strenuously!"

- M.K.
 

"Thanks so much for your helpful work today.  I can see why you're so much more valuable than a book.  You got into my work and way of thinking in order to determine what systems would best suite me and my business.  You watched and listened to me and brought me the system that fits me like a glove.  I feel so much clearer.  You eliminated MY chaos!"

- Renee Adsitt, Color Whiz
 

"Laura did a wonderful job of organizing my home office.  My office was a disaster and Laura helped sort through piles of paper and showed me effective ways to keep business and personal information in order.  Her filing system is very effective."

 

- Paula Feldman, Money Mailer

 

 

"Laura is very easy to communicate with and she knows how to get to the heart of a project very quickly.  I would highly recommend Laura Leist and Eliminate Chaos to anyone needed organizational or computer-related services, no matter how simple or complex.  Laura's background and experience offers a customer more advantages than one might think.  Thank You Laura!"

 

- Karen Cassell
 
"If you can find 15 minutes extra each day - what would it be worth to you?  I have always considered myself pretty organized, so I was impressed with the ideas that Laura was able to show me that saved me the time each day.  Even just saving 20 minutes a day is a big deal.  That is enough time for me to connect with a new client or spend time with my daughters."

 

- Bill Brooks, American Pacific Mortgage
 
"Laura assisted us in creating a database to store important information for our business.  Laura guided us in finding pocket pc's that have virtually changed our professional and personal lives and the way we organize.  Laura was very patient with us as we moved from having little scraps of paper all over our desks to having critical information at our fingertips whenever our clients have a request.  Thanks Laura.  The benefits of your service and expertise are immeasurable."

 

- Noel & Dave Stockman, Crescendo Concierge
 

"The work Laura has done for us has required her to design and implement a process for the project, to listen well to our needs, goals and limitations, to work closely with members of our staff and to provide us with a plan of action we would undertake after our work with her was complete.  I always had complete confidence in her leadership and management.  In my interactions with outside vendors, I would rank Laura's level of service in the top 1%!    Laura delivers what she promises, on time on budget and with cheerfulness and a positive, uplifting attitude. 

I gain two things when I work with Laura:  organization and the tools and strategies to stay organized!  Laura knows the right products to use in our office and shows me how to use them.  She observes how we work and develops systems and tools to help us work more efficiently.  Laura holds herself to very high standards and it shows in her work!

Laura has always treated me and members of my staff with respect and kindness.  Laura has a special way of making us comfortable when working with her.  Laura is completely dependable and reliable.  She completes projects in the amount of time that she says it will take to complete them."
