Barbara Hemphill is working with our Sales Team with a focus on improving productivity through better organization which saves you time, space, energy and ultimately money. Her proven system for a productive office along with methods to improve on sales efficiency is already moving the needle in a positive direction. Barbara conducted a seminar at our annual sales meeting and our team found it to be informative and valuable especially in the area of planning.

Nearly 20 years ago, Barbara volunteered a half day of her time to help me make sense of my office. As the youth services manager at a public library, I spent very little time in my "office" which resembled and functioned like a closet. Together we sifted through piles of papers, posters, books and folders and created a filing and organizational system to meet my needs. She even helped me implement an effective calendar system to schedule my life. Today, I have a much bigger office and my desk and files still work! I'm happy to report my desk is in pretty good shape.

I must say that to this day your business organization expertise has guided me through my career over these past 20+ years. The business principles you advocate have proven to be sustainably solid. I'm glad to know that you and your career have flourished. You provide a valuable service.

Rosalie Scholl, Falls City Productive Environment Challenge

Thank you for the wonderful program. You held our attention very well, you are informative, and the audience feels they can use what applies to them. Wishing you continued success!

In April of 2011 Barbara Hemphill spoke at our annual convention. All of our attendees were excited to hear her speak and learn useful organization techniques. Our members are still talking about the presentation and many of them have put the techniques to work and are astounded with the results!

Kim Wolozyn, Marketing & Education Liaison, Nu Image Dental and Implant Center

Thank you for a fabulous presentation. I think you are phenomenal! We had glowing evaluations and the program was enjoyed by all. You are a talented presenter and a genuinely nice person to boot. I appreciate you being so accommodating with the room issues we had last night and going with the flow. I think it is great that you have completely revamped your website, your business, and yourself. It is inspiring to see someone embrace change like you have. Everyone appreciates that it isn't easy.

Julie Field, Founder, The Confidentiality Institute

As a new entrepreneur, I had lots of ideas, but no thoughtful plan of action. I had heard Barbara Hemphill speak at a seminar on organizing and signed on to her coaching service. We worked together by phone over several months. Her innovative insights and gentle encouragement provided me the spark I needed to get my business up and running. This past year, I was able to sell my business at a profit, and move on to my next vision for success. The tools Barbara gave me have stuck with me over time, and her weekly podcasts keep me focused and on track in my new endeavors. She offers what no one else really can -- years of experience and solid, practical information through enthusiastic, personalized engagement. She helped to anchor my business dreams and make them real. She's an amazing resource that more people need to know about and use!

Angela Underwood, KY Society of Association Executives

Barbara Hemphill is a true speaking professional with a message of value to anyone working in an office environment. Her practical no-nonsense tools to streamline productivity are invaluable. Barbara would be a great addition to any program.

Barb Vice, Administrator Careage Estates Falls City NE

We are a nursing home in rural Nebraska, and had been fortunate to remodel some rooms to make a large activity room. Since we have had it, it has been cluttered, unorganized, and really an eye sore. Barbara met with our department head staff for about 1 hour to explain her ideas, and then worked with myself and the activity director in the activity room for about 3 hours. What a difference. We finally have a plan, have a place to start from and lots of goals. Barbara is so passionate about what she does, that she can motivate even the most difficult to motivate.  She is truly inspiring and a joy to work with.

"They say that “little things make all of the difference”, and in just a few hours, Barbara Hemphill taught me some brilliant “little” organizing techniques that are already having a huge impact on how I organize my office! Barbara shattered many of my preconceived notions about professional organizers (she won’t make you throw everything away; she doesn’t care how much stuff you have; and you don’t have to be naturally neat to be well organized). I’ve been using the questions she recommends to determine what’s worth keeping and what I can toss, and I’ve already released three garbage bags full of unnecessary paper that was driving me crazy and creating clutter in my workspace. After having encountered lots of so-called “professional” organizers out there, I’ve finally met the real deal—Barbara Hemphill!"

“If attendance is a good barometer, the SRO crowd that turned out for Technology Is Not a Substitute forOrganization must mean that your reputation precedes you and that librarians are a very disorganized bunch! Many people who attended the program took the time to tell me how helpful they are finding some of your solutions, and evaluations done the day of your presentation were very favorable.”

"Thank you so much for introducing me to SwiftFile.  My husband really likes the system too!  In the 7.5 years we have lived in our house, I have struggled with keeping the kitchen counter clutter free, especially the paper clutter.  No more!  Thank you, thank you for bringing it to your presentation.  It is really helping us!"

In preparation for an office move after inhabiting the same building for over 40 years, we enlisted the help of Barbara Hemphill to coach us on preparing for the move and setting up an efficient and productive environment in our new facility. Barbara spent a day with us teaching us how to think about our storage needs and then cleaning out clutter for the rest of the day. Though I had spent time prior to the Productive Environment Day trying to gauge how much paper and other materials we have on hand, I grossly underestimated the volume once we had our hands in the clutter! Over about five hours after our Productive Environment seminar, our staff of about 25 people cleared out an astounding three and a half tons of materials for shredding, recycling or trash. We had so much underestimated that we have planned another Productive Environments Day to finish clearing and organizing before our office move. I am deeply appreciative to Barbara Hemphill for her prompting and leadership and am planning more time after our move to focus on organizing our electronic storage as well.

"For most people, personal organization of life's clutter is intimidating and daunting. Barbara shared the clutter remedies as simple steps and actions that our attendees felt that they could implement immediately to lessen the clutter anxiety and get control of their environments—personally and professionally. She assured staff and volunteers that even if they weren't an organized person by nature, it was possible to accomplish a life with order."
