KEYNOTE KICKOFF
I’M OK. YOU’RE OK. – ORGANIZING BASED ON BRAIN TYPE
with Lee Silber, Author
Not everyone is in their “right” mind, and those who are (right-brainers) face special challenges when it comes to getting and staying organized. This tele-class will help attendees understand what makes people do the things they do—pile papers, procrastinate, seek perfection—and how to make it work for them. You can’t change people, it’s much better to work with their natural tendencies. We will take each trait for both thinking styles and explore organizing strategies that will work the way they do.
• Attendees will learn ways to organize around their natural tendencies.
• Organizers will learn what makes their clients tick and find solutions they will embrace for lasting success.
• There will be specific (and creative) suggestions for every kind of organizing challenge.
