What Folks Are Saying

Working with Emma has been a blessing!  I am a fairly busy person – balancing my full-time job, marriage, and social engagements along with my projects in activism and community organizing. I become so focused on trying to get work done that – if left unchecked – I will focus on a project to its completion at the expense of the others (and my personal life).  Emma helps me manage my free time so that I can juggle my various projects without burning out. We meet for 15 minutes each week to plan out what I am capable of doing in my free time for the coming week. This has helped me stay organized and prevented me from burning out. I adore working with her!

This week Emma managed to prevent two disasters I would have created for myself if I were left to my own devices. She compensates for my weak spots so I can play to my strengths. Emma’s help is not only liberating, but is proving to be an invaluable investment in my striving toward my potential and contributing to the projects I believe in.

Hiring Emma was the best decision I’ve made this year, hands down. She perfectly complements my chaotic, creative mind with clarity and focus. She keeps my 15+ active projects in some semblance of order, and helps me carve out realistic windows and expectations for getting things done. She’s tech savvy, she learns new systems quickly, and her communication is impeccable. When something’s not working, she finds a way to help me face it and resolve it. I’m moving forward on important creative projects that I would have never been able to prioritize on my own. I trust her. And I trust myself better when I’m working with her.

Never before have I worked with someone so capable of keeping up with me and my brain as Emma. In a matter of days, not weeks, she was able to integrate, iterate, and improve my workflows with one another, and with new collaboration tools such as Google Docs. She not only maintained, but smoothed the process of scheduling appointments, organizing task-management, and creating new content across not one but four major projects, all while making me look good! Emma’s unique ability to grok new technologies coupled with her patient, methodical approach to their utilization makes her an ideal business partner for techies and laymen alike.
