So you want to be a Professional Organizer?

Here’s what we recommend:

  1. Visit the  National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals website and read the NAPO Code of Ethics. Peruse the rest of the site as well!
  2. Use the "Find a Professional Organizer or Productivity Consultant" feature on the NAPO home page to visit as many different websites, of as many different organizers, in as many different locations, as you can. This will give you an idea of the broad range of services that professional organizers provide to our clients.
  3. Visit the Institute for Challenging Disorganization website. While you may choose not to work with chronically disorganized clients, the information is invaluable.
  4. AFTER you have done the first 3 things, you are welcome to contact Miriam or Brenda (Find Your Organizer) and make an appointment for a 20-minute chat, during which they will answer your questions. Additional mentoring is available for a fee. The reason we send you to other web sites first is so that you may use the time with an experienced organizer to your best advantage.
  5. AFTER you have joined NAPO ICD,  TPM, NASMM or NABPO, you are welcome to attend two PONM meetings, for a small fee of $10 a meeting, before joining.

Hope this helps. Welcome to the industry!
