Claire Tompkins started her business as a productivity consultant and professional organizer in 1998. She has helped numerous individuals and businesses get organized, get the important tasks done and manage their time. Always curious, her approach is to ask why things are being done they way they are. Often, such basic questions will lead the way to the best solutions. She believes in finding the simplest way for her clients to get where they want to go, creating clever solutions that are flexible and expandable to respond to clients' changing needs. A system is no good unless people use it, and simplicity is the best predictor of use.

 

In her work with clients, she makes sure the solutions are effective and do-able, and that the client will be able to stay organized after she leaves. In presentations, she shares practical tips and techniques that attendees can start using right away. She strives to offer solutions that work with clients' personalities and lifestyles, that fit seamlessly.

 

She is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers ( NAPO ) and the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of NAPO, and has served her chapter as vice president and newsletter editor.
