Porter Knight's Philosophy
"I believe in my clients."
Organization and productivity result from learning and practicing a set of skills. Your value as a person is not measured by whether or not you are accomplished at these skills. Being disorganized is not a character flaw, it is simply of state of being. And you can change it.
Porter Knight knows that you can be organized and productive. You can find what you need when you need it. You can achieve what you want to achieve.
"I love seeing clients achieve their dreams after shedding the burden of indecision and clutter."
Organizing is not about being perfect, and productivity is only useful when it is purposeful. As your organizer and productivity trainer, Porter Knight will meet you where you are and show you how to achieve your goals.
"I am guided by respect, integrity, service, and enthusiasm."
Porter's daily interactions are guided by the core values of Respect, Integrity, Service, and Enthusiasm.
- Respect... approach every client in a non-judgmental way with sincere empathy for the client's needs and challenges.
- Integrity... identify boundaries and build a partnership with the client as well as other service providers.
- Service... provide appropriate support to achieve the client's desired results.
- Enthusiasm... meet each client with confidence, humor, and energy.
"I take ethics seriously."
Porter Knight fully embraces the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Professional Organizers and the Board of Certification of Professional Organizers.
