Speaking to Inspire Positive Action

Picture
As a professional speaker for many years, my goal when I speak is to arm people with information and motivation to take immediate action to improve your spaces and life. 

My speeches focus on the power of clutter clearing, how environment affects performance and productivity, and on empowering people with ADHD. The feedback I get from participants about my speeches is that I move them from being stuck and unable to clear their clutter, to action! They go home and make significant progress clearing clutter. Many people who attend my presentations are impatient to get home and get started. 

Participants Experience Benefits

How can hearing me speak transform clutter clearing from an overwhelming, onerous task to something that’s achievable and beneficial? In my speeches participants will:
  • learn how clutter affects their lives,
  • learn how to get unstuck by clearing clutter, 
  • be introduced to practical organizing and feng shui principles that, in combination, make clutter clearing an exciting investment in improving all aspects of their lives,
  • be armed with strategies that almost anyone can implement to avoid emotional and physical overwhelm, and, 
  • learn where to begin clutter clearing to get the most benefit for their efforts and minimize the chances of getting stuck and quitting.

Debbie in the News

Respected by the media as an industry expert and professional speaker, Debbie frequently speaks on behalf of the organizing industry. Debbie's collaboration with Goodwill for the "Clear Clutter for Good" campaign exemplifies her level of commitment to help individuals transform their lives.  

"I wanted to share that you were a tremendous influence on my students with your talk!  When I went into campus on Sunday, I found two students in our studio resource room (where we keep all of our samples) cleaning up and organizing.  They had been in all weekend working (there was LOTS to do!), and they told me that after your talk, they didn’t want all of the negative energy that the room had to continue with its clutter.  They did a beautiful job, and I’m so proud of their work and thankful for your influence!  You also influenced me in that I spent all Thursday cleaning my office piles and throwing paper away that had accumulated through the year.  Thanks for all of your sharing - you DO make a terrific difference!" 
- Cindy Beacham, Associate Professor, University of West Virginia

"You're correct, people enjoy your classes because you have the ability to urge people to think about where they are and what they want out of life.  Honestly, you're just awesome! You may recall that I invited to you Unity of Richmond where you accepted the invitation and of course everyone loved you." -  Valerie Jacobs

"I just wanted to let you know that you really gave me the motivation I needed to move forward in decluttering my office and home.  I never explained to my husband why I was going to Patty's that day because he surely would not have understood.  Since that day, he has approached me on more than 3 or 4 occasions and said things like "What's gotten into you lately",  "Why are you going through every drawer and closet in the house",  "Where did all of this stuff come from"  and the one that causes me to smile behind his back is "Just stay out of my stuff".  Eventually WE will get into HIS stuff but not anytime soon as I have plenty of other things to go through first. " - Anonymous

"I'd like to express again that I truly did get what I needed from you that day...motivation, inspiration, guidance, suggestions, etc, etc.  I'm seriously dedicated to going through everything in our home, attic, garage, sheds, hunting cabin, RV and every other place we have 'stuff' stashed.  Even while decorating for Christmas, I'm discarding and boxing things for our grown children as well as charities and other places including the trash dump." - Mary Lock
