[productivity training and consulting testimonials]


“I met Sara at a conference where she shared the Productivity Puzzle.  It was motivating to me personally so I invited her to work with my  11-member department.  As I talked with other managers and my VP about her services, they enthusiastically jumped on board, opening up the program to the entire division. With a shrinking budget and mandated furloughs, it seemed more important than ever to give our staff useful tools for managing their workload and workspaces in our very demanding and fast-paced environment. Sara's high energy and competent consulting encouraged and empowered 55 of our staff.  I can't wait to work with her again!”
– Cindy Derrico

“Prior to attending Sara’s Radiant organizing and time management training, I thought I was pretty organized, with weekly goals and a daily to-do list. Sara reframed the way I organize my life by helping me evaluate how I access information on my desk, my laptop and in my files. She also challenged me to restructure my day when my energy is highest by turning off emails and completing projects during these times for maximum performance.

Sara’s simple-to-implement organizational tips have been a tremendous help to me personally and to my business professionally. I couldn’t have accepted the volunteer role of President of the Junior League without organizing of the rest of my life with the help of Radiant Organizing. I recommend training with Sara Caputo for anyone who wants to improve their level of efficiency without increasing stress.”
– Martha Townsend, President, Junior League of Santa Barbara

"Sara is wonderful! I can now get more work done in less time because
I can find things when I need them. No, she didn't make me throw anything away that I wasn't ready to get rid of. She just asks questions to help you think about what you really need in your daily life. My experience in working with Sara has truly been life changing. I'm now happy in and proud of my office space! I've gotten rid of my clutter to make room for me."
– De Acker, Director, UCSB Women's Center

"Working with Sara isn't merely helpful (although it certainly is that); it's downright transformative! Sara has the ability to nudge one gently and sensitively - yet assertively - toward letting go of a life's worth of accumulated stuff. I'm disburdened, both psychically and literally, as a result. It's good to travel light... thanks, Sara!"
–Michael Petracca, M.Ed., Author and Professor, United of California at Santa Barbara

"I organize other people's events for a living. But sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, so having Sara from Radiant Organizing come into my space was like a breath of fresh air!  She came into my space, asked thorough questions and gave me a new perspective... I couldn't have done it without her!"
–Nicolle Owings, Owner, Putting It Together Event Design, Planning + Coordination

"What we all don't want to do is encounter old files and God forbid purge them. With Sara's help I was able to attack thirteen years of files of old memories, old jobs and future projects with no headaches or hassles. But, most importantly, I can actually find files I couldn't, and access projects easily, work on them and return them to a safe and accessible place. I can feel a shift in my life, a new light skip, and I forge on to new possibilities!"
–I. Murphy Lewis, Director, Global Voice

"Sara is great! She has really helped and motivated our office to clean up unnecessary clutter, re-organize our files, and determine the best location to place items in our offices to help us run more efficiently! I recommend her to everyone! Come see my office!"
–Alma Janabajab, Registrar, Employees' University, County of Santa Barbara

"I think of myself as an organized person but even so, I thought I was spending too much time trying to find things. That's when I decided to check into whether an organization consultant could save me some time. Sara was a great help. She has a very direct, common-sense approach that is tailored to each person's work style. There are always too few hours in the day and the system Sara helped me develop has saved me much time and frustration. The time you invest now will return big dividends in future time saving!"
–Michele Mickiewicz, Assistant Director, Santa Barbara County Public Health Department

"WOW! What a difference a visit from Sara Caputo made in the office operation at the EU. We thought we were efficient but knew needed some direction.

- Ronnie Thompson, Dean, Employees’ University, County of Santa Barbara
