Here's what others are saying about our on-demand webinars and live seminars:

I am writing to let you know that I found your training to be very informative and helpful to me as I am beginning my new business. The information in all three manuals is highly useful, and much of it would apply to starting any business – including the home staging side of my business. From establishing a business plan, creating a fee structure, marketing, obtaining a domain name, creating a web site, legal aspects of insurance and business licenses, and so much more, you gave me everything I needed to get started! I found all of your information to be so easy to grasp, and you were so helpful answering our questions as we went along. Thank you for a wonderful course! I am happy to say that my business is up and running in California. Thank you for giving me the tools and courage to forge ahead!

"This was so necessary!  So worthwhile.  You've opened by eyes to all the things that I need to know (and to all the things that I didn't realize that I didn't know!)  The layout, content, delivery and length of course was perfect - thank you for organizing it so well.  And I'm so lucky to have been involved with such a terrific group and a fabulous leader - this must be recommended to anyone considering taking up professional organizing as a profession."
     Susan Brown, BlueSkiesOrganizing.com

"There is no real way to fully describe the content of the seminar - I quite enjoyed these three days and as I get closer to 'starting' I know all this info will be even more valuable. Thanks so much Debra"
      Bonnie Parkinson

"I can tell you that everyone left today extremely motivated and eager to get their businesses started. The content of the manuals is incredible, they are clear, precise and very easy to follow with an unbelievable amount of information, that not only is going to help us start our businesses but continue to reinforce what we have learned. The presentation of the seminars was second to none, extremely professional and delivered with passion. I would absolutely recommend these seminars to anyone that was interested in pursuing a career as a Professional Organizer. Thanks again for a life changing three days."
      Janis Amzallag, OrganizedSolutions.ca

"Thank you so much!  I have had an amazing time.  I am so pleased to have met you - you are a great lady and a wonderful presenter.  I have learned so much, I can't wait to get started.  Thank you for your enthusiasm and expertise.  I look forward to continuing our relationship in the coming years." 
      Rhonda Jones

"I read through most of the first book and must say it was full of VALUABLE information. I hope what I am about to say is received as an encouragement to you...I do not have a knack for business and that is why I am purchasing your books, but I think your books are worth more than what you are charging. I am not sure why the price is so low compared to the rich content that the first book held alone and can only anticipate the rich information in the remaining three. Even if your price were doubled, it still wouldn't match the value that is in the content. I would still be willing to invest more money to get this information from your company.Thank you very much for provide such a valuable resource."
      Terry Ann Lee

"I've been able to enjoy the best of both worlds - online and in person!  Thank you so much for arranging this.  You are inspiring and motivating and have created such a excitement to succeed.  I look forward to continuing our relationship.  You are a wonderful mentor and we're fortunate to have had this opportunity.  Thanks!"
      Nancy Drolet

      Michelle Nichols, GreatFirstImpressions.ca

"I scream your praises, especially about your workshops, from the mountain tops. The relationships built there and the knowledge I gained has inevitably affected me forever. Thank you for this. I truly feel my business has doubled due to you both."
      Jennifer Brouwer, DecorbyJennifer.com

"I would be happy to give a recommendation or referral of the program to anyone.  This program was perfect timing for me and I truly believe you saved me months - maybe years - of time and thousands of dollars.  I was on the edge of my seat most of the time, soaking in all that great information  I got focus and gained a roadmap to help me along the way."
      Callie Nicols, Resourceful Organizer.com

"I was very impressed with your three-day Comprehensive Training Program. It really was comprehensive -- covering all the aspects of starting and running an organizing business. This is simply the best course I’ve seen to help would-be organizers. It's also an excellent refresher for anyone who has been in the business for a while and wants a refresher. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about becoming a successful professional organizer."
      Eileen Chong, Simple Organizing Services (S.O.S.)

"I wish I had taken your three-day course as I was just starting my business.  It took me six months to put together all of the information and structure that you teach us in three days.  Even though I had already started my business, I came away from your course with enough additional information that made it worth my while."
      Victoria Boer, Home Staging by Victoria

"Debra is a very effective facilitator.  She did an excellent job pacing the material and offering relevant real-life examples that related to the topic.  She created a very relaxed learning environment and was always open to questions and comments.  Her professionalism was always present.  Debra was interesting and engaging."
      Kathy Glionna

"The workshops: Become a Professional Organizer and Professional Organizing: a Practical Approach given by Productivity were very professionally presented in an engaging format. The seminars provided concrete information laid out in a step-by-step format which was directly applicable to my business. Debra Milne and Jane Woolsey go beyond teaching acting as enthusiastic coaches and mentors to new professional organizers. I highly recommend their program."
      Michelle Graham, ORG Power

Here's what they're saying about our self-study manuals

"Of the five books I've read on becoming a professional organizer, I like this one best. Thank you for letting me include it in the review."
     Claire Josefine, NAPO Book Review

"I want to thank you for the prompt delivery of your home-study program about Professional Organizing to me. It arrived here safely within a couple of days of ordering. Very impressive service!  Each of the manuals look very thorough and well-designed. These manuals are obviously the result of many long hours of work and dedication. I look forward to reading them, thinking about the ideas that you present, and deciding how and where to put my best energy in the field of professional organizing. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise through home-study. I look forward to all future contact with you and your company."
      Louise Hass-Slavin, BSc Occupational Therapy

"Debra and Jane's manuals represent a complete guide to help you turn your talents into a successful business as a Professional Organizer. They are clear and precise and presented in an organized fashion. These manuals are a practical and timely collection of useful information that should help anyone gifted with an organizing talent and determination to become a successful professional organizer."
      Jane MacDonald, ClutterBusters

"Your definition of the term professional organizing is the best that I have ever read--and completely captures the field. As well, What does a Professional Organizer do? is very well-written and all-encompassing. It is so often difficult to articulate exactly what we do, and yet it's a question that we all get asked frequently. You obviously put a great deal of thought into these points. Not Getting in Over Your Head almost made me cry because I've been in tricky situations like that and especially when starting out, it's hard to know how to cope. I just wish I had read your words of wisdom years ago--it would have saved me a lot of stress."
      Kriste Demke, Organomics

"I finished the manual and read it cover to cover. I was so impressed and feel so motivated! This is being added to my organization book library as a great resource."
