YOU THINK YOU ARE SO SMART

We learned a valuable lesson today. It had occurred to us that we were using only about 50% of the tools available to us in Microsoft outlook. We contracted with Amanda Lovatt of Lovatt Effective Systems (www.LovattEffectiveSystemS.com) to spend the morning with us to better understand outlook. We were wrong. We found that we were using only about 25%. We experienced many Ah ha’s this morning.

Our Mission After the morning course we made many adjustments in our systems and are confident that the efficiencies and time savings we will experience will far outweigh the fees paid in a very short time.

So, don’t think you are s smart that you do not need to continuously update your knowledge. Be open to investing in training even when you have been working with a particular system for a long time. Like us, you may just learn something.

The adventure is the best part of the journey.

"It was wonderful having you amongst us!  You shared some of your wisdom and humour which the ladies really enjoyed.  I visited a fellow women entrepreneur the other day and guess what she had on her head????  She purchased a display cordless phone with head gear...oh yes...and she smiled and said that she didn't go the Women Entrepreneurs for nothing...she obviously took advantage of your advice! She said she couldn't believe the time and steps she saves in a day since she's had it.  She is very grateful for your advice.

Thank you so much for presenting to us.  It is evident that you will take your business to any level you wish to!"

"Just a note to say how pleased I am with the assistance you provided me in organizing my office.  Not only are my files in perfect order, I have been able to maintain them easily using the processes you set up.  In addition, the system you taught me to keep my desk organized has worked like a charm...I do not know how I stayed in business this long without you!

Please pass my name along to anyone looking for a reference for your excellent work"

To Do the Impossible:
My office was a long-standing out-of-control situation! As a teacher of young children, a curriculum chair and a consultant I had a variety of issues - filing, storage, and a variety of media. There were flat things, round things, light things and heavy things that ALL needed to find a "home" in an organized way.

Amanda Lovatt was the angel of organization that came into my office. She was patient and creative with solutions to help me with the variety of challenges I face. Always positive and calm she charted the course for an office space that I now enjoy. I know that the organization is not just a surface-fix, but also a resourceful long-term solution.

Thanks, Amanda. I think of you every day when I walk into my office. I have even received a compliment from a co-worker who previously felt that it was impossible to ever see an improvement here!

I just wanted to say how very much I enjoyed your Seminar on Organization tips, etc. Your tips were simple, practical and easy to maintain. This will go a long way in my life, especially with two little kids and the volumes of stuff that they have spread around.

What I most enjoyed about your seminar is that you speak from experience and your love of the topic and enthusiasm made the seminar so much more enjoyable.

Many thanks,

Amanda did an amazing job organizing our “junk” drawers. She was able to quickly come up with ideas to organize the various items in the drawers.  She was also able to suggest and implement a better way for us to keep track of our upcoming commitments and appointments so we wouldn’t miss deadlines and commitments.  Finally, the solutions she implemented were easily extensible and I have quickly found that I can organize even more previously hard to place items.

An organizing project involves a close collaboration between the client and organizer. Amanda has a relaxed, friendly and very efficient style, which makes the process enjoyable.

Working with Amanda and the end result has been an extremely positive experience.  We are now able to save time, reduce stress and stay on top of our commitments.  Thanks Amanda!

Amanda worked for me at Nortel for approximately one year. She reported to me as first level manager. Her responsibilities included project and people management as well as ensuring the technical integrity of the work her team was responsible for.

In Amanda's project management role she was responsible for planning, coordination and maintenance of project status.  She consistently displayed excellent project management, organizational and influencing skills in her day-day operation.  She put the appropriate project control structures in place, pulled together the overall project plans and closely tracked those plans.  She also introduced a badly needed software development process, including document templates.

In Amanda's development role as a manager she was given responsibility for 8 features.  She achieved a very aggressive hiring ramp, structured a team of 13 people appropriately and got sub-teams vectored onto the required features. Within four months, the team was up to speed and had preliminary designs and schedules in place for all of the features.  This was accomplished in an environment of significant organizational and architectural churn.  It was a very tough quarter and I was very impressed with the degree of professionalism and sense of humour she maintained throughout the quarter. 

Amanda consistently displays excellent people and project management skills and was able to make the necessary technical contributions to get her team moving in the right direction. I have very much enjoyed working with Amanda and would see her as an asset to any team.

Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She came up with fabulous solutions for our cramped quarters. Every time we use our cupboards it's one less annoyance in our lives! The cupboards are fabulous and it has made a huge difference - I actually enjoy looking for Tupperware now because I can find the lids!!
