Enrolling in a course is the best possible way to prepare for your career! In addition to teaching you specific techniques to organize homes and offices, a professional organizing course contains invaluable insights that every designer can benefit from, including how to start your own business and how to properly declutter a space.\n\nRead on for four lessons from the professional organizer course that every designer should know, and start broadening your horizons![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10821&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Working with unique personalities<\/h3>\nThroughout your career as a professional organizer, you\u2019ll work with a variety of different clients, meaning you\u2019ll run into many unique personalities and needs. This can prove very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/03\/tough-organizing-clients-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenging<\/a> \u2013 clients will depend on you, the expert, to think outside the box and help them reorganize their space, taking into account small details and elements. They\u2019ll be dependent on your problem solving skills in order to help restructure their lives and improve their routines. It can be really tough to find a happy balance with clients who are stressed out or unhappy, and you will inevitably encounter some tricky situations.\n\nThis is where your professional organizing course comes in handy!\n\nAssignments will include real-life scenarios featuring the types of clients you\u2019ll meet as a professional organizer, such as stressed out single parents trying to juggle multiple tasks. This client will need a professional organizer to help streamline their life, and you\u2019ll be asked to identify the client\u2019s profile and the cause of their disorganization. You\u2019ll learn how to be empathetic, and understand how your clients\u2019 lives have become so chaotic, which are necessary insights for you to help them. And guess what? This training is completely<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/10\/5-ways-professional-organizer-training-can-help-home-stagers\/\"> applicable and valuable<\/a> to other branches of the design industry such as interior decorating, home staging, color consulting, and Feng Shui. Knowing how to work with different client personalities is a skill that will promote success in your design career.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10824&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Decluttering<\/h3>\nWe mentioned above that working with clients can be very tricky. Well, hold on to your hats, because the second lesson on our list is one of the most difficult tasks faced by professional organizers (and design professionals as well!). Deciding which items need to be eliminated from your clients\u2019 homes, and correcting the bad habits that led to clutter in the first place, is a practice not suited for the faint of heart. Luckily, your professional organizing course contains assignments that will present you with real-life scenarios, requiring you to categorize your client\u2019s things and prioritize them in a short amount of time. You\u2019ll also need to brainstorm solutions and provide your client with concrete ways to prevent future clutter&#8230;\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/11\/decluttering-clients-home-storage-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Decluttering<\/a> can be very challenging because it will likely require you to have difficult conversations with your clients about their living and working habits. Once again, this lesson is not just for professional organizers! If you\u2019re working in a client\u2019s space, you will inevitably need to help them organize and declutter, regardless of your job title. The assignments completed in your professional organizing course will provide reference for when you take on this often hefty task. The more clients you meet and skills you possess, the more successful you\u2019ll be as a result![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Starting your own business<\/h3>\nHave you ever dreamed of being your own boss? How about setting your own rates and hours, as well as choosing your own clients? This will allow you a great deal of freedom in your design career, so it\u2019s no surprise that many design professionals aspire to be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/08\/start-interior-decorating-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business owners<\/a>. But getting there won\u2019t happen overnight, and this is one of the reasons why a professional organizing course is so valuable to your career \u2013 most courses won\u2019t contain business training!\n\nNow, you\u2019ll have to make sure you choose the right course, as it will need to have a curriculum dedicated to teaching you how to register your business, set up insurance, write a professional business plan, and more. QC Design School\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/online-courses\/professional-organizing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professional Organizing Course<\/a>, for example, teaches students different ways to market their professional organizing business successfully, and guidelines for how much to charge for each project. This is extremely helpful information, and will help you become a business owner sooner than you think! Knowing how to start your own business is also a critical skill for all design professionals. Course training will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to start an interior decorating, home staging, or other client oriented design business. Not to mention that your professional organizer certification will show clients and employers alike that you\u2019ve been properly trained, helping you to stand out from the competition![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10825&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Adapting to Change<\/h3>\nProfessional organizing is an extremely dynamic and exciting career \u2013 no two days will be the same, and you\u2019ll constantly be thinking outside the box. That being said, one of the most important qualities you\u2019ll need to possess is adaptability. No two clients are alike, and no two situations are going to look quite the same. Not only do you need to be highly skilled in your techniques and background knowledge (and you can thank your professional organizing course for this), you also have to be able to think quickly on your feet, make decisions confidently, and go with the flow as much as possible.\n\nPay close attention to the assignments in your course that focus on listening and selling techniques, as they will be extremely useful in your professional organizing career. You\u2019ll need to know how to work with clients hesitant to your changes (as we discussed earlier), and how to be empathetic toward your client\u2019s perspective.. We\u2019re not saying to give in to your client\u2019s preferences over your expertise, but do try to understand their point of view. This will help you adapt your thinking when coming up with the best changes for your clients\u2019 homes and lives. Adaptability is a lesson that will serve all designers well, as clients will expect quick answers to questions, and want to see you incorporate their own vision into your ideas for their space. Being amenable will go a long way in your career![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Find out what clients are looking for in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/12\/what-clients-look-for-in-a-professional-organizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professional organizer <\/a>&#8212; do you have what it takes?<\/em><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learn from the best on how to deal with different clients, decluttering and your business!","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":13000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[522],"class_list":{"0":"post-10800","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-design-tips"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v26.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lessons from a Professional Organizer Course All Designers Should Know - The Focal Point<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As a designer, sometimes challenges go beyond decor.
