about
Gayle M. Gruenberg
CPO-CD®, CVOP™
CHIEF EXECUTIVE ORGANIZER
Hello! Welcome once again to Let’s Get Organized. I’m so glad you’re here. I’d like to share a bit of my story with you. I started Let’s Get Organized in 2003 after a career as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) because I wanted to have more of an impact on people’s lives… and on the world. I love working with people one-on-one, learning about them and what makes them tick, and really listening to who they are and what they value.
Chronic Disorganization
SPECIALIST
I found that many of my clients struggled with brain-based conditions that affected their ability to be organized. I decided to specialize and became a Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization (CPO-CD®) in 2011.
Organizing
Coach
Being disorganized and addressing the organizing process can bring up many deep and uncomfortable feelings about a client’s self-worth and self-esteem. Becoming an Organizing Coach in 2017 allowed me to help clients
- Clarify their goals for wanting to be more organized
- Identify the underlying issues that may have led to their current situation
- Work through the barriers that may have held them back in the past.
Virtual
organizing professional
Even before the COVID pandemic struck, I wanted to be able to help people on a national and global scale, so I became a Certified Virtual Organizing Professional™ in 2020.
Author
and speaker
I love to write, and I want to share the Let’s Get Organized mission of spreading love through organizing. My book, Get the Big O: ORGANIZED! 7 Steps to Achieving Calm, Clarity, and Control in Your Space, Mind – and Life! as well as my min-ebooks on organizing, are now available. My articles on organizing have been published around the world, I speak at virtual and in-person conferences locally and globally, and I am the organizing expert on the Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life radio show.
Leader
I believe in being the change I wish to see in the world, so I take an active role in my professional community. I founded and served as three-term president of the Northern New Jersey chapter of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO). I am an active subscriber of and volunteer with the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD), where I earned my organizing credentials. I am the New Jersey Chapter Leader for the Global Network of Jewish Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders as well as a member of The Dames and Innovation Women.
Spiritual
being
The Let’s Get Organized tag line is Make Space for Blessings. I coined this phrase while simultaneously creating the company and deepening my faith. The more I learned about Judaism and the teachings of the Torah, the more I saw organizing as a spiritual practice. When we organize, we clear out old beliefs, emotions, and physical “stuff.” We open our hearts and minds as well as our space to make room for new and good things to come in. We create a home for G-d, or the higher being of your choice, to rest and to bring in literal and figurative blessings.
Dancer
Since I was 3 years old, I’ve been a lover of dance. One of my “bucket-list” items was to learn how to swing dance. It’s paying homage to my mother, who loved to dance and who tried to teach me how to do Lindy. Guess what. I can Lindy!
