Could your clients benefit if you were able to relate and understand them and their clutter challenges better?

Clare Baker's NEW Improved Clutter Clearing Training for 2011.

My NEW Improved Clutter Clearing Training has been updated and upgraded in 2011 to enable people to learn as much - or as little - about the world of Clutter as they choose, and to train at their own speed and around other commitments.

As more and more people become aware of their clutter issues - thanks to the economy preventing people from moving so easily, being able to afford off site self storage and forcing them to deal with the real issue - their clutter - rather than their perceived lack of space, the world of Clutter is changing.

Although often driven by cost initially, a staggering 70% of all Clutter Clearing Clients have gone for the 'quick fix' approach provided by many service providers in the market place. Having learnt from their mistake - that there is no such thing as a quick fix that someone else can do for them - they have had the courage to be more discerning in their search for more help.

That's where the Clutter Coach Approach comes in.

Taking the long term behaviour change approach, the Clutter coach works with the client to enable the client to make the decisions, master the skill and get a long term permanent solution to their clutter challenge. Often working with a client for 3 - 6 months at a time, the help provided is deeper and more meaningful than a simple 'superficial makeover'. It also enables the Clutter Coach to reach a wider audiance than a limited geographical area, therefore proivides a more cost and time effective solution for the client.

As the desire for lasting change increases and the number of people unable to move or 'hide' their clutter in storage, the demand for qualified Clutter Coaches is on the increase.

Yet how can someone be sure they've got someone who knows enough about the issue of Clutter to really help them?

That's where the Clutter Clearing Training Programme adds value to anyone trying to help or work with people who have clutter.

It is more than a simple directory where anyone with enough money and a website can call themselves an expert in the field of helping people declutter
It requires more knowledge, understanding, skills and experience than just 'being good at being organised'
It requires time and effort to acquire the knowedge, understanding, skills and experience required to really help people in a meaningful way
It involves being assessed, regulated and undertaking continuous professional development to maintain those skills and recognition.

Clutter Clearing has had, over the past 9 years, extensive press and media coverage. It has also evolved from a home visit dependent business to a predominately remote support coaching business as technology and understanding about the issues of clutter have developed. The foundation has remained the same - a process that works, appropriate advice at the right time, and ongoing support to effect a long term permanent clutter free home.

If you are interested in learning more about how a Clutter Coach helps people declutter - without the need for a home visit - then you'll be interested in the training that Clare Baker - Specialist Clutter Coach with 9 years experience in the industry - provides when you undertake any of her training.
