January 2006An update from Kalia, in April 2008:
“I spent about 5 or 6 hours yesterday cleaning out the closets in my guest room. There is a big sliding closet, plus storage above. This is the place where all the #!*& I don’t know what to do with ends up. Well, I must’ve learned something from you because I got through it all! I just took the thing on the top and dealt with it. I only have a couple things out of the whole closet stuffed full that I’m still deciding about, but other than that it’s done done done! I was exhausted afterward, to say the least.
“So, we folk out here DO need to learn what you have to teach. I’m thinking about how different my life is from two years ago, how much more organized and easy it is to deal with. Basically, I can say the organizing and simplifying I’ve learned is saving me $70 to $80K a year for an assistant!”
“She’s my mentor, good file fairy, and computer tutor.”

“Shawn turned the dreaded part of my work as an artist–the business part–into a less daunting endeavor. She introduced organization into the process and now I have the time and energy to make art and actually grow my business. I am forever grateful to her and her extraordinary skills.”
– Leah Wilson

“I was fortunate to work with Shawn during my days as Executive Director of Citizens Planning Association. She is talented, organized, and insightful. Any organization that hires Shawn for a project will be glad they did. I know I am!”

“I appreciate your ability to help me figure out what needs to get done. I don’t feel like I have to have everything figured out before calling you. What a relief!”

“Shawn has been an important part of my money organization. She has patiently assisted me and my assistant to learn Quickbooks with enthusiasm and kindness. Now, I can negotiate the technical edge of Quickbooks. However, the moment I get into unknown territory, I give her a call and with ease, she is able to walk me through the maze. What a relief to know she is there with her knowledge!”
– Suzie Daggett
Publisher, INSIGHT Directory
“Shawn is savvy and quick-witted, and when she is not already familiar with the task at hand, she is ready to learn. This, along with her high level of integrity and honesty, made her an ideal assistant for my web-oriented business. In my case, she learned the ‘ropes’ quickly, and definitely gave me that feeling of being ’supported’ in my business, so I could focus more clearly on the core of my work.”
– Max Schwanekamp
Neptune Webworks
“Our new management team inherited a completed grant that required onerous reporting. It was the kind of project that–in a busy office climate–we never could manage to prioritize and get our heads around. We called in Shawn from Project Simplify and after a 20 minute initial meeting and passing her a pile of folders, she returned with our files organized, our relations with the grantor mended, and–most importantly–a stack of completed reporting forms ready for my signature. In a matter of days, her responsiveness, attention to detail, and sleuthing skills turned a looming nightmare into a resolved–and simplified–project!”
– Jason Rainey
Executive Director, SYRCL

Testimonials from our workshop participants:
“Shawn is an inspiration. She has shown me that I have the skills necessary to bring order not only to my daily schedule, but my cluttered mind as well. I felt like this workshop was the eye opener that I needed to stay focused on roles and responsibilities that work for me and my schedule. I’ve also learned to set realistic goals and manage a functional way of reaching them.”
– Amelia Barrett

“Shawn was clear and graceful–striking a good balance between “teaching” and supporting each of us. The group was interactive, thoughtful, and fun. All in all–a success!”
