Below are testimonials from current and former Turn Leaf clients.
"I'm loving my new organizing systems! My desk - still
spotless. It's been easy to keep it clean since there's a place for
everything! Everyday, I'm working my task list and making progress
towards a complete task-oriented system. I find that by having a "to do"
for everything - work & personal, I'm sleeping better and feeling much less
stressed." "Elisabeth Galperin, aka Turn Leaf Organizing, has worked with me on a number of projects. Her skill at addressing a problem and working it through to a successful conclusion, and her cooperative attitude in coming to mutually agreed upon approaches and solutions, make working with her a joy. And the work gets done quickly, efficiently and well. What more could you ask? Elisabeth has a skill of stepping back, listening and developing an understanding of the problem. Based on that understanding she suggests creative approaches and solutions and works cooperatively with me to arrive at the best solution. Once we agree on the best approach and procedure, she takes over, implements the decision, gets back to me to mutually resolve any issues that arise, and brings the project to a successful conclusion. We have developed a fine working relationship. Elisabeth is a delight to work with and I continue to use her services." - BK, Carrboro, NC
