join us for our next live session
on MONDAY September 8th!
TRAINING THAT STICKS: SYSTEMS, STANDARDS, AND SKILL-BUILDING FOR ORGANIZING TEAMS
Training a team is one of the most powerful—and sometimes overwhelming—investments an organizing business owner can make. From a new hire’s first 90 days to keeping seasoned team members engaged, delivering scalable, brand-aligned training is essential for long-term success.
In this interactive masterclass, Mindy will share her proven framework for building and delivering training that inspires confidence, strengthens culture, and improves client outcomes. You’ll gain practical strategies for structuring onboarding, fostering ongoing skill development, and deciding what to teach in-house versus bringing in outside expertise. Through real-world case studies and peer discussion, you’ll walk away with an actionable plan you can put to work immediately.

THE WHY
Have you ever teetered on the edge of burnout? I know the feeling all too well, especially after the tumultuous year of Covid. I launched Systems by Susie in 2014, but it was in 2020 that we really hit our stride, growing from a team of 5 to 15 members in just a year. I was exhausted and overwhelmed from wearing all the business hats from inquiries to invoicing. Although I started this business out of a love for helping people and organizing homes, I now had to figure out how to operate a sustainable business so that I didn’t burn out.
I needed efficient systems for my business so that I wasn’t the only one doing everything. It required standardizing the way we did things, a whole host of new tech tools, and hiring the right people for the right roles. I had to let go in order to grow. It didn’t happen overnight, but once these systems were in place, my business ran smoothly and independently of me because we had clear systems and clear roles. When I reflect back on this growth stage of my business, I realize that it didn’t need to be so hard. If I had other pro organizers to learn from and share resources with, it would have been an entirely different experience. That’s why I created the Pro Organizers’ Speaker Series – to feature experts who can help guide the way so you can focus on what you love most: organizing.

Hi Susie! Just a note to tell you how much I loved the last speaker series. Having three different organizers share three different ways of handling the same thing was fabulous! Each strategy helped me tweak and improve my own process. Can’t wait for the next one!
