Workshops & Speaker Sessions for Schools and Educators
Practical workshops that help educators, students, and families build organizing and executive functioning skills that actually stick.
The ability to organize isn’t something students either “have” or “don’t have.” It’s a skill—and like any skill, it can be taught, practiced, and adapted for different brains.
I was THAT student.
I know what it feels like to lose the assignment you’ve just finished, forget the form that needed to be signed, and wondered why everyone else seemed to have it all together AND know where they put it!
Today, as a Professional Organizer, theatre educator, and late-diagnosed adult with ADHD, I help schools replace frustration and shame with practical strategies that students—and the adults supporting them—can actually use.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked alongside children, youth, parents, and educators in schools, churches, theatres, and community programs. Across every role, one thing became clear: organizing isn’t something people simply “know” how to do. It’s a skill that can be taught, practised, and adapted for different learners.
Expect Something Different
My background in theatre means participants won’t spend the day watching someone read PowerPoint slides.
These workshops are interactive, practical, and full of stories that help ideas stick. We laugh, we reflect, we experiment with real strategies, and yes… every now and then, a show tune sneaks in.
Because people remember experiences long after they’ve forgotten bullet points.
Why This Matters
Imagine if students learned:
- that organizing is a skill—not a personality trait
- that different brains need different systems
- how to tell when a strategy works for them and when it doesn’t
- how to build confidence instead of shame around staying organized
Imagine if teachers spent less time chasing missing assignments and more time teaching.
Imagine if parents had practical tools that reduced conflict instead of creating more reminders.
That’s what these workshops are designed to do.

👨👩👧 Parents & Caregivers
Supporting kids without becoming the family reminder app.
What Makes These Workshops Different?
Most study skills sessions teach students what they should do.
These workshops explore how different people organize, why some strategies work better than others, and how to build systems that fit different brains—not just different classrooms. The emphasis on finding individual organizing styles and moving away from one-size-fits-all solutions is a consistent theme throughout your workshop material.
There are no cookie-cutter solutions. No one-size-fits-all binders. No expectation that every student learns—or organizes—in the same way.
Because real life doesn’t work like that.
