Calahan Solutions, Inc. Aids in the Struggle with Organization Services Now Available in Iowa
BLOOMINGTON, IL – September 19, 2006 – In a unique blend of structure, design and sales, Ellen Hankes (a Fairbury native) has started her own organizing business as an independent Calahan Solutions Organization Consultant.
She has joined the growing ranks of entrepreneurs who help people sort through their messes, throw out stuff that should have been ditched years ago and generally just figure out a better way of doing things. “I enjoy the challenge of solving problems through developing systems for maximum efficiency,” Ellen stated.
Calahan Solutions, Inc. (www.calahansolutions.com) is a premier organization firm focusing on business, residential and life consulting. The consulting firm was founded in 2002 by Stephanie L. H. Calahan. Calahan Solutions, Inc. is a member of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) and NSGCD (the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization). By starting her own business, Ellen has become one of the first Calahan Solutions independent Consultants in the Council Bluffs-Omaha Iowa metro area.
Not only do they have the unique skill of envisioning order where there is none, but professional/personal organizers share an important characteristic: They are not related to the clients so they don't have a personal attachment to their client’s possessions.
"There is definitely a dynamic between family members that complicates things," said Ellen Hankes. "Many of us were raised to feel guilty about throwing things away. Professional organizers bring objectivity to the situation."
"The message that is constantly being communicated to us is 'get more stuff,'"…" said Stephanie Calahan, president of Calahan Solutions, Inc.
Clutter, she said, knows no race, gender, age or socioeconomic boundary. "It is everywhere."
As an independent Calahan Solutions Consultant, Ellen offers Business Organizing and Residential Organizing services including space, time and information management. Ellen is available for presentations and group training related to organization needs.
"We are really excited to have Ellen on our team," stated Calahan. "She has an amazing amount of experience and her desire to learn more makes her a great addition."
