Mary has had tremendous success with clients in many areas. 

Here are just a few of the comments she has received from business offices, residential, estate organization, speaking and classes, and phone coaching clients.

From clients in business offices:

“Mary does more than organize your space. She helps me organize my mind and life – without her I would be wasting a lot of time and energy. She organizes my priorities both for work and my personal life. Without her help I would not focus on the right things.”

– Maudie Briggs, President/CEO of Morrison Communications

“I no longer have the ‘procrastination’ pile on my desk, and my desk has remained organized and clean.”

– John Hinkle, Senior Vice President and Manager of First Tennessee Bank Operational Center

” ‘Do it now’ has helped me complete things sooner and make my office less cluttered, and my day is less stressful.”

– Joe Minutolo, Vice President, Data/Check Processing of First Tennessee Bank Operational Center

 “What a wonderful experience to enter my office each morning to face a clear desk with wood showing!  I greatly appreciate your persistence and grace in making me deal with some very old stacks that I had been avoiding.  What a difference your guidance and ideas have made!”      

– Laura Rowe

“I’m tons more efficient and calmer.  Being organized has made a huge difference.  I don’t have any more stacks on my floor or desk.  Getting organized cleared my head.”

– Aleex Hopkins, business owner

“Getting my office organized was a refreshing break from the chaos and disorder in my office.  I could barely walk in there.  After years of attempting to do it myself, I finally called Clutter-free & Organized.  Working with Mary not only organized my office but I also learned the procedures necessary to keep it that way.”

-Rick Hines, business owner

“Your skills, patience and positive attitude make Mondays a Day of Achievement.  I love going into my office now, and because it looks so good, I am energized to work on other clutter areas.”

– Laura Barron, The Barron Group

“Mary Pankiewicz’s program entitled ‘Get Organized for Success’ is a winner! It includes a two-hour seminar in the morning, followed by individual coaching and actual hands-on work for the rest of the day. The impact was immediate and dramatic. The entire staff was amazed. As a company, Chroma Graphics was definitely better off after our time spent with Mary.”

 – Gloria Sellers, manager of Chroma Graphics

“I’m sitting at my perfectly clean and clutter-free desk, thinking of you with gratitude!  I loved working with you!”

– Lynne Harr, community volunteer

From clients who Mary helped at their home:

“Thank you for spending the day with me.  My closet is beautiful and ‘Clutter-free’.  I appreciated the patience with me that you showed.”   

– Sandra Kelly

“I thoroughly enjoyed our organizing day!  The garage looks absolutely fabulous.  You gave me motivation, and I’ve been straightening all kinds of things around the house!  Thanks again!”   

– Aleex Conner

“I’ve done my hobby more in the last two months than I did in six months last year all because my equipment is organized. It is wonderful.” 

– Ramsey Larson

“Before you came, I hated to go into my closet!  Now I have room for a chair and love to sit and look at how pretty and organized it is!”

– Lyn Kelly

“My initial embarrassment soon gave way to satisfaction when Mary helped de-clutter and organize my bedroom closet.  Now it contains only clothes that are truly useful and that I love to wear.  Thanks, Mary.” 

– Jan Martin

“Thank you for helping me get my room organized.  I can’t even begin to explain how much better it feels to be able to sit with my friends in my room and not have to climb over a mountain of junk to do it!  Thank you so much!” 

– Teenager


“Having Mary work with my teenagers has helped in several ways:  Because she came in as a neutral person, my son and daughter listened to Mary’s suggestions, and it has greatly improved their rooms.  She also was a big help in getting my daughter packed for college.”

– Parent

From clients who Mary helped with Estate Organization:

“Mary, all your training paid off;  I was able to clear out my Mother’s house in Arkansas.”

– A. D.

“I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did on helping me clean out my mother’s house after her death.  What you did in three days would have taken me three years!  You gently but firmly led me through the decisions of what to keep, what to give, what to sell.  You kept me on task and kept our timetable in mind.  You even arranged for antique dealers to come to the house and helped me take things to a consignment shop.  Your calm patience and systematic approach to chaos made conquering the mess a pleasant task.  You were a life saver!”

– Louise Sweatt

“I was ‘frozen’ and couldn’t finish up my husband’s estate, and the deadline was drawing near.  Mary came and worked with me through the last stacks of paper. I had managed the financial part of his medical practice but just couldn’t do this.  Mary helped me to see it wasn’t a deficiency on my part, and she was very encouraging and supportive.”      

-Katie Tindall

Feedback from Seminars and Classes:

“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your presentation to Lewis-King. In fact, of all the seminars and activities we have provided for our staff, the feedback from these sessions has been tremendous. I believe it has been more positive than any other activity we have offered. . . From a personal standpoint, it has made and continues to make a big difference in the way I work.”

– Linda Glasgow from Lewis, King, Krieg & Waldrop, P.C

“Mary Pankiewicz’s program entitled ‘Get Organized for Success’ is a winner!

As a company, Chroma Graphics was definitely better off after our time spent with Mary.”

– Brenda Sellers, Manager of Chroma Graphics

“I’m a pack rat, but Mary’s class was very informative as to how to distinguish things that are really necessary in the business space. Without it, things would have been carried to the new building in wasted time and space.”

– Jim Ford, business seminar participant

“Loved it!  Really enjoyed the instructor and thought she was very knowledgeable.  I’m excited to implement some of her ideas!”                                                                                                                  – participant in UT Personal Development Class

And from Phone Coaching clients:

“The benefits I received from Mary’s phone coaching have made a tremendous difference in my personal and professional life.  Working with her helped me to think about things in a deliberate way, to define goals and to accomplish projects.  It was time and money well spent.”

-Amye King, Attorney-at-Law

“You changed my life, Mary Pankiewicz!  Thank you!  You are always whispering in my ear.”
