Have you been avoiding your office?
On your desk and around your workspace, you've got mail, notes, forms, bank statements, bills and more. You want to get to them, but you haven't had time and you don't know where to start.
But it's not just clutter that's the problem. You have a lot you want to do in your business. You have big goals on the horizon but you feel overwhelmed at how uncomfortable you feel in your office. A lot of the time, it's just not a place you enjoy working.
You know you are capable of getting through the mess, but you feel frustrated about how it always comes back. It never feels solved. And you have a nagging sense that you could enjoy your work more without the chaos... but you don't know how.
Take heart.
You can get relief.
My office felt cramped and chaotic. Some of the chaos was from a little too much stuff, but, more than that, it felt energetically chaotic. Despite the generous size of the room and big windows, it felt dark and busy.
Jennifer helped me create a beautiful, spacious, functional office -- this seems like utter magic to me! Over the long run, almost a year later, the most impactful element is the way I now inhabit the whole room. And, as an extra bonus, my desktop invites me to keep it neat and clean because the whole space is so lovely.
I feel like Jennifer did something for me that I absolutely could never have done on my own. She brought beauty into my working space, as well as improving its functionality.
My space helps call me to be more me in my business.
Jenni Green Caduceus Strategies
If you want to get unstuck and have a workspace that actually works for you, there are three basic needs that must be met:
- Connection with a deeper purpose: Many people try to "get organized" from a place of fear and frustration. This is understandable if you don't realize that organization can be connected with the passion you feel for your work.
- Knowledge of your own organizing preferences: Organizing your space means discovering what your own unique needs are and honoring what works for you personally, rather than what you see in magazines or office stores.
- Structure and support: Sometimes you can be too close to a problem to see it clearly. By including a trusted someone in your process can help you get clarity about where to start and what you want.
With these needs met, you'll feel greater enthusiasm, increased clarity, and much less struggle with your physical space. Your work becomes easier and your business can thrive.
Introducing:
The Personalized Office Program
Designed to work with your unique style, the Personalized Office Program helps you create an office that's supportive to you and your business by addressing both the practical details and larger purpose of your work.
Jen literally is helping me rescue my office from the dead.
I was relegated to working in a little 2x2 centimeter square of my desk when we started because there was so much stuff everywhere.
After only two short sessions, I have my entire desk cleared and am able to keep it that way. My office is working for me, not the other way around.
Jen's gentle way of encouraging me forward without cracking the whip makes it easy for me to find my way organically through this maze that I call my workspace. She provides a safe space to work through all the scary parts of dealing with the mess that has kept me stuck for so long.
We even have some great laughs along the way!! Can't wait to see the final result. Thanks Jen - you're simply awesome.

Many people work in damage-control mode on a daily basis, putting out one fire after another. Changing these established patterns requires commitment and continuity over a period of time.
The Personalized Office Program isn't a quick fix. Instead, it gives you the opportunity look deeply and comprehensively at what you need to get out of damage-control mode so that you can build systems that create stability and growth for your business.
How it works
Initial meeting: Our first meeting consists of a 90-minute planning session which is conducted on the phone.
During this first session, we tap into the enthusiasm and passion you have for your work and then tie organization into the picture. This helps you experience organization as a way of serving and caring for your business.
On-going sessions: From there, we meet every other week for 11 weeks for a total of 6 sessions. At each meeting, we discuss your progress and bring awareness both to the systems that support your business and the ambiance which inspires your best work.
You may be surprised to discover that most solutions don't require you to buy a lot of products or gizmos. Often the simplest solutions are the most effective.
Homework: You're encouraged to be in contact by email between sessions and will occasionally have homework assignments designed to increase your clarity and help you stay motivated. The process is an organic one and the deeper you dive into the program, the better and more permanent your results.
Wrap-up session: On your last session, we evaluate your progress and discuss the natural steps that might come next. You'll leave with a plan, a feeling of accomplishment, and a workspace you love.
What you get

What it costs
First and foremost, your time.
You must be ready to work on your space for at least an hour and a half each week, in addition to meetings and check-in emails. This is the best way to get results.
Secondly, money.
Budget: While there is no requirement to purchase additional furnishings, organizing supplies, or decorative embellishments, you may find that allowing yourself a budget will create spaciousness in your planning (even if you don't use any of it).
Program fees:The 12 week program is $794 and only three spots are currently available.
You may pay the whole amount in one installment of $794 or in three installments of $265 deducted automatically each month from your credit card.
Case Study:
Mark Silver, Portland, OR - Heart of Business
Before we started working together, my office was okay... except that the piles would come and multiply at night. It was fairly common that I couldn't see my desktop, and that I would go into overwhelm trying to track everything that was going on- projects and tasks like snowflakes, everywhere... It was hard to get to the proactive, creative projects that really support the business to grow and develop.
Not to mention how many emails and little details, little to me, but big to the clients or customers affected, kept getting dropped. Ugh! It felt horrible!
I had some doubts that it could work over the phone- I have to admit. I there are places I need real hand-holding, and I doubted that phone support would really work.
Working with you, well, short of a cure for cancer... I don't mean to be flippant, but it's totally transformed my day-to-day working. My office is neat and organized, and stays that way. My digital files are getting more organized and easier to navigate every day. And this means that I'm effective, I'm on task, and when I do procrastinate, I no longer have the excuse of cleaning up my office- because it's already there.
Truly amazing to see that I can have a work environment that fits me and molds itself to how I best work.
And here's the best thing: a lot of the overwhelm has disappeared. Even though I still have the same number of things to do, and I still can't get finished everything I need to - the fact is that now everything has a home, and nothing is getting dropped, forgotten or lost, means that when I quit for the day, whether it's at noon, 5pm or 8pm, I can leave feeling relaxed, knowing that it will still be there, tomorrow, and I don't have to track it all in my head.
If a successful business owner was considering working with you [Jen], I'd say "Shut up, pay the money, let her work on you." :) Really, there are lots of internal blockages to efficiency, and I do a lot of them. And yet, if the office itself doesn't match how you work, what's gonna stick? The efficiency or the mess?
How much time do I spend in my office each week? Don't ask... if I'm going to spend that much time in it, it better be a place of refuge, of nourishment, and it better be something that I enjoy being in, that really, really works. So shut up and work with her already. ;-) That's from the heart.
