TESTIMONIALS

• I hired Alchemy Organizing to help me move my business from my basement to an office downtown after I incorporated my sole proprietorship and took on some employees. I felt like I was doing triple duty while looking for an office. I was still working on my business so I had money to pay the bills but I was also trying to move and do business development to roll my new employees into my rapidly changing company. Bal came in and took a big weight off my shoulders by scouting out office locations for me and once we had secured a space, helped me buy and install the furniture. It took some time to actually find a space but once we did, it moved fast. I was up and running in my new office within two weeks of taking possession of the space. I couldn’t have done it without her.

• This letter is to thank you for successfully designing and organizing my office. As executive director for the BC chiropractic profession there is an ongoing need to manage documents and office design regardless of computer and internet resources.
I was very appreciative of your ability to work with and organize the amount of documentation that is at the core of daily work related to health legislation and administration.
The resulting office design and documentation management has helped create a more enjoyable and productive environment.
If matters get out of hand again I will certainly call your assistance.

• In May 2008 the Evaluation, Measurement and Verification group of BC Hydro requested a professional organizer to aid in preparation for our office relocation. After reviewing a number of proposals we agreed to hire Alchemy Organizing, Professional Organizing Services.
After discussing what we expected to accomplish over the next couple of months, Baljit Siekham quickly and effectively got to work meeting individually with our team members. Baljit took the time to walk each individual through her efficient purge process which managed to eliminate more than 50% of the overall paper documentation in the office. She then successfully created personalized, colour coordinated filing systems that met the needs of each employee.
With Baljit’s exceptional knowledge and experience we were able to transform our office into an efficient and manageable environment for our employees. She offered a number of tips and tricks for creating, managing and updating our filing systems. Her organization and ability to create customized filing systems was very helpful.
Thanks Baljit for all of your help.

Murray Bond, Manager, DSM Evaluation, BC Hydro

• Thank you so much for you professional organizing services. Our small gym office was looking disorganized and unprofessional. Your ideas on new organization schemes as well as new furniture transformed the look and efficiency of the office. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to offices large or small looking for streamlining and efficiency. Your service was extremely professional, timely and cost efficient.

• What a wonderful experience it has been to work with you to get my studio and work life organized.  Now I am able to focus on what is important in my business and not get caught up in the space in which I work……..
It has been a true pleasure to work with Baljit.  She has taken my artist’s chaos and turned it into cabinets full of organized, tidy, easy to find when needed supplies and information.

• I am one of the most organized of people, even a trained athlete needs a coach.  Baljit coached me, and assisted me, to take my office from a bit of a dump to a very pleasant work environment where I don’t need to spend time sorting, re-sorting, filing and finding whatever I need, right when I need it.  Baljit even rearranged the furniture so that the work space is far more comfortable, useable and welcoming.
Baljit Siekham can truly claim the right to use the world professional in her title.

• I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation for the amazing job of organizing you did at my studio last week.  As an artist I’m plagued by a reluctance to deal with papers, and as a result when you walked into m studio, you were greeted by various piles of unsorted paper, tangles of books and thickets of supplies and equipment.
Although a constant source of irritation, I’d been putting off the organizing job for a long time and was somewhat reticent to have to deal with it.  My fears were quickly relieved however due to your very calm, and supportive approach to plowing through the mess.
At the end of the day, the piles were gone, and the whole office functioned in a clear, logical and efficient way.
Thanks again for making such a dramatic improvement in the organization of my studio.

• During our initial meeting with Baljit, we identified several possible solutions to our ongoing space and clutter issues, including moving furniture to different rooms/into the basement and finding new ways to store unnecessary personal clutter that has inhibited our working space.  She handled our issues with admirable tact, which minimized our embarrassment at showing our “mess” to an outsider, and helped to smooth over tensions between the people concerned in these “clutter issues” – we believe she is the ideal third-party presence.  Baljit’s work and ideas greatly improved our working and living conditions.

• Thank you so much for coming today, on no notice at all, and with such a willing and winning attitude.  You turned what was a very stressful day and a feeling of complete overwhelm into a peaceful, manageable process where we tackled everything I  needed to in a much shorter period of time than I would have expected.
I think the best part about today was your peaceful, calm, grounded presence – you weren’t at all daunted by the mess, the chaos, or the quick changing direction I kept making along the way.  I especially loved your attention to detail and how you caught so many things that I completely overlooked.

• It has been an absolute pleasure to walk into my office since the miracle you performed last Tuesday.  Lynn was astonished at the visial transformation and has been motivated to start de-cluttering her own office…… Thank you for your help and enthusiasm, it has already begun to transform my life.

• Over the five years that we worked together at Maritime Life you showed tremendous initiative and drive to get any initiative done efficiently and effectively. You had to work with individuals with different skill sets, personalities and ideas about the way to do things and you were able to work with all of them to set processes and procedures in pplace that made their jobs so much easier!  One achievement that I think you should be very proud of are the administration guides that you created that were then used – and are still used! – across Canada.
