Who's The Tidy Coach?

Isabel Melgarejo

Have you ever felt like you’re not happy at home? That was me at the beginning of 2020. I didn’t fit anywhere, and being home was really hard for me. I just couldn’tfind a place where I could be at peace. My mom recommended I look into Marie Kondo, and I decided to give it a try. 

I bought “The Life-changing Magic of Tidying up” and “Spark Joy,” both books by Marie Kondo, read both books in two days, made a plan to tackle, and started my tidying marathon. My background is in sustainability, and during this process, I noticed two things:

Even though I was conscious about my environmental impacts and tried to reduce them daily, I could change some habits and reduce them even more.

I had a lot of experience avoiding landfills for hazardous and regular wastes. Therefore I was going to find a new home to whatever I was discarding.

With these two things in mind, I decided to bring every home the idea of sustainable lifestyles. I had already done it for hundreds of companies. Why not start with the ones who could shape companies and their behaviors as well?

I like getting to know each of my clients and listening to their expectations. Understanding what you really want from this process is essential for you and me. Let me know which are your biggest concerns and why you want to begin this journey.

Once the expectations are settled, we build a plan. Benjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” So having a plan is essential to the process. This doesn’t mean that the plan can’t change; it will, but it will help us get aligned to the goals.

Once we have a plan, it’s time to execute. I will be by your side the whole process to help, guide, and cheer you whenever is needed.
