Meet a Jane: Ellen Delap
Posted on December 29, 2009 - Filed Under Meet a Jane, Merry Jane
Ellen R. Delap, CPOR, is the owner of www.Professional-Organizer.com. She helps her clients make time and space for what’s important to them in their lives. She is a Certified Professional Organizer and Certified Family Manager Coach. Working one-on-one with her clients, Ellen uses a collaborative approach to help streamline home and work environments, to create effective strategies for an organized lifestyle and to prioritize organization in daily routine. She is a member and Past President of the National Association of Professional Organizers of Houston and a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers’ ADD and CD Certificate/National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization.
Ellen started her business in order to make a difference in people’s lives and to teach the skill set of organizing. She believes that her company empowers and affirms her clients in their quest for organization. “The joy of knowing each day I am helping people who have been overwhelmed by paper and stuff and are now are transitioning to a more organized lifestyle is my greatest reward,” said Ellen.
After taking the free Which Jane Are You? assessment at www.JaneOutoftheBox.com , Ellen has discovered that she is a Merry Jane. “My greatest joy in my business is interacting with my clients,” said Ellen. “I find them to be incredible, intelligent and creative, and the fact that I can help them be the best they can be makes for an amazing opportunity for me! It is rewarding to be a full time professional organizer and productivity consultant with dedicated hours including Saturdays. With the flexibility offered in my business, I prioritize taking care of my family and myself. I especially love every Friday, my Gigi (grandparenting) Day. I am a Merry Jane because I enjoy my business and especially the balance I have in my life right now. “
After contemplating her advice for other current Merry Janes – or those aspiring to be – she has some great insights. “If balance is your biggest priority, this is a great fit!” said Ellen. “If you are concerned about making more money, think through the flexibility and clarify your priorities to become a different Jane. In the past I have been Go Jane Go struggling with work/life balance. Seeing my priorities more clearly has helped me become a Merry Jane. With further clarity, I see myself moving toward Jane Dough with clear priorities to make more money.”
