Seattle Professional Organizer, Laura Leist, Earns Prestigious Industry Certification

Laura Leist, a leading organizing expert in Seattle, has just earned the prestigious designation of Certified Professional Organizer®. Leist is one of the first in the organizing industry and Washington State to receive this designation after sitting for the inaugural CPO® exam.

Certification by The Board of Professional Organizers (BCPO) was developed by NAPO, The Organizing Authority® and is a voluntary certification for Professional Organizers. Certification recognizes professionals who have met specific qualifications and who have proven to possess a body of knowledge and experience required for the organizing industry.

Leist founded Eliminate Chaos, the largest organizing services firm in the Greater Seattle area.
While TV programs such as HGTV’s Mission: Organization and TLC’s Clean Sweep have helped to educate the public about services offered by a Professional Organizer, “they tend to focus on the stuff in one’s home or home office,” said Leist. “When people think of getting organized, the benefits they are looking for is the ability to take control of their space, time and stuff.” Leist also notes that the Organizing Industry that was once so focused on the organization of the “stuff” is now seeing corporations that recognize the benefits of creating systems and processes that enable individuals to be more productive and efficient and give companies more time to focus on their business.”

“I believe that by earning the Certified Professional Organizer® designation it will show my continued commitment to the organizing industry through ongoing education and working with our clients to continue to transfer organizing skills to individuals in both residential and business environments,” stated Leist. BCPO’s certification program has just raised the industry standards, practices and ethics of organizing professionals and the public will benefit from the value received from the services and products provided by a CPO®.
