Comments about Alison’s Presentations

 

“The presenter was very friendly and warm.  She made me want to clear my clutter!”

 

“I enjoyed this all aspects of this workshop.  Alison was energetic, clear, focused, and I learned a lot. I really enjoyed the comfort level during our group interaction.  I appreciate that we moved through the presentation on time.”

 

“Alison has a very easy-going yet professional manner that allowed people to bring their ideas and creativity forward.”

 

“The presenter really gave some valuable tools to use towards organizing not only my work space but also my personal life.”

 

 “I came not knowing what to expect, somewhat cautious, and I really feel like I got a lot – information, ideas, direction, motivation and support!”

 

“The way you approached a difficult topic was actually fun!”

 

 “I’d recommend this class to friends – especially people who are curious but clueless.”

 

“Alison is a great presenter – warm and lovely. I loved the group discussion and problem-solving, and I love that we left with a concrete plan of action.”

 

 “Most of all I got inspiration to just get started! Alison helped me to become  more clear on how my life would be without the clutter.  I know it’ll be worth the work!”

 

“I was surprised at how quickly the time went by!”

 

“I’m impressed that I, an aesthetically oblivious person, was able to identify the qualities I want in my home and translate those into actions I’m going to take.”

 

“[As a result of the class] I have a stronger connection to my home – a relationship with it! – that I didn’t have before. I also have faith in my creative capacity.  I really inhabit my home and use it fully, whereas [before this class] I almost felt like a visitor, never really making myself at home.”

 

“I really enjoyed this, Alison!  You’re a great presenter.”

 

“I felt very comfortable asking questions and sharing ideas.”

 

 “Thanks for an inspiring evening!”

 

“I’m more confident to put my ideas/inspirations into practice and I feel I have some great tools to get me there.”

 

“Your ease in being in front of a group is very reassuring and comforting.”

 

 “Your energy is just so friendly and inspirational. Thank you!”

 

“I so appreciate Alison’s holistic approach to creating a home and the many tools she offers to make it happen.”

 

“Very fun, self-revealing and affirming.”

 

“Alison is an inspiring teacher who brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to her design coaching practice.”

 

“I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to enjoy their home or work space every moment they are in it.”

 

“Alison provided a structured environment where we were able to really see what we want from our spaces. She gave us tools to go out and create what we want and need.”

 

“I’m leaving with a sense that de-cluttering is possible. I like that you broke it down into do-able actions.”

 

 “I already knew a lot of the information, but Alison organized it well and made it seem easy and do-able.”

 

 “I liked Alison’s style and all the exercises we did. She really engaged me as a participant.”
