Clearly, she has put a lot of thought into making the slides informative, visually attractive and humorous. Doreen did an excellent job engaging members of the audience. Dr. Stern has a topic that appeals to a broad section of the community. My thanks for a well prepared, lively and informative workshop."

They learned not only organizational skills, but how to change the way they think about clutter and about themselves. The session was engaging and interactive. After the program, many people thanked me for bringing Stern to the library. Springfield TV Station GGB featured the event on their 11 o'clock News. The event was a home run."

Doreen Stern helps me envision a bridge to the future. Thinking of her helps me discard the pieces of paper I collect, so I can cross the bridge to the other side.

"Who would think that de-clutter telephone coaching would work? I must have because I contacted Dr. Doreen Stern for it. I travel a lot in my business, working with executives and corporations, to bring humor to their company events. I love my work, yet my fast-paced life sometimes causes stress at home. Stress along with disorganization. I want to simplify my life, and The Desk Docktor has suggested easy-to-implement ways to do so.

"When friends started giving me file cabinets as gifts, I knew it was time to think about doing things differently. What though? The task seemed overwhelming until I attended Dr. Stern's presentation on Turning My Paper Mess into Success. This is what I learned: ‘Do one thing at a time, Finish what I start. And most of all, Do it NOW.'"

"Dr. Doreen Stern has a gift of being able to get people to open up to talk about what is on their minds. She not only helped me de-clutter, she helped me unearth my heart's desire: to reconnect with my 30-year-old son, Greg. Acting on her advice, I wrote a warm and caring letter to Greg, while she was in my office. He told me later that the letter really got his attention and it helped break down a barrier between two stubborn men. We are now planning a trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, so we can bond over a long weekend. Hire The Desk Docktor: you'll be glad you did."
