As a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®), author and speaker Eileen Koff has worked firsthand with Christians as they struggle to get their stuff (and by extension, their lives) organized.

With nearly two decades of experience in professional organizing, Eileen’s Christian-centered approach is radically unique. As the author of O"Get Organized God's Way: Bring God into Every Area of Your Life", her concepts, drawn from experience and the scriptures, illuminate new ideas and strategies for solving organizational dilemmas.
Eileen teaches how clutter not only robs happiness from our homes, but how the chaos undermines the relationships with family and friends as well as God. In her presentations, she stirs audiences to immediate action, motivating listeners to put an end to years of frustration and clutter build-up. With an engaging, interactive style, she packs her presentations with how-to's, humor and inspiration.

Like Paper, Like Manna:
Paper Organizing For The Busy Christian Woman
Paper has become our #1 organizational nightmare. The thought of throwing out information can cause more anxiety in our lives than any other material in our lives.

Eileen will reveal:
- Fears and indecisions related to paper hoarding, and how they clog our ability to function

The Butterfly Connection:
Transforming Your Cocoon of Clutter to Calm
Let’s face it – change is hard! If organizing our homes was as easy as reading a few quick tips in a book, our houses would look like they belong in a magazine.

It is during this struggle that the butterfly becomes strong. Though organization can feel like a struggle, Eileen will outline a process of freeing our lives from our cocoon of clutter to experience true freedom. In this seminar, you will learn:
- How to break the cycle of wrong thinking
- The 6-step process for lasting change
- The essential step to ridding clutter and keeping it away
