About

Hi, I’m Colette.

I help you live better and work better using tools and strategies that get results.

How do I know they can make a difference for you? Because they worked for me.

Anxiety. Perfectionism. And a hearing disorder. The belief that the harder you work, the more you succeed. Sound familiar? These were my challenges and my motivators. They were the reasons why I was always early for classes and meetings, why I consistently went beyond expectations, and why I started working and volunteering at a young age. They drove me to achieve things, but they also created problems – stress, blind spots, and barriers in meeting my goals, striking a work-life balance, and just being happy.

I realized that if I wanted to reach my full potential, I needed to make a change, so I became my own life coach. I found my voice. I looked for techniques to live a life with more intention and less stress. I discovered ways to work less, but get more done. As I did, I gained more control over my feelings, my performance, and my life. And I gained more confidence in myself, not to mention more balance and happiness.

The tools, education, and realizations I developed in my journey as a recovering perfectionist inspired me to start Organize Anything in 2000. Now, I inspire change in others, motivating them to remove their own barriers, just as I removed mine.

Our journey together begins with empathy and understanding. I get to know you, your desires, and challenges and then I develop strategies that make it possible for you to tap into your full potential. It could be eliminating clutter, breaking down negative self-perceptions, or levelling the playing field, but the moments we spend together on your path to more success, happiness, and balance are the ones that I live for.

These journeys are a lifelong process, and mine continues. I’m finding new ways to give back, including 100+ Women Who Care Halifax, which has raised more than $500k for community organizations since I co-founded it in 2012. I travel the world not just to share what I’ve learned as a professional speaker but also to know, grow, and share more through socially conscious experiences. And I am continuing to learn new tools and strategies to help you. After all, being able to have an impact on one person is the key to a rewarding life. I know that from changing mine.

Now, let’s talk about how we can change yours.
