When, working with an organizer effectively, some individuals are content with
letting the organizer take over, while others prefer to work with the organizer.
What is your preference?
As an organizer, I have met various clients with differing degrees of organizational needs.
It is important to be flexible and to know when to step in and when to let the client take control. Some individuals are content with letting the organizer take over and make decisions or even work alone in the space, having received the client’s direction. Others prefer to work with the organizer, make decisions, and have the organizer be there to support or provide suggestions as needed. Mostly, they seek the incentive and the drive to get the projects done. When left to their own resources, they tend to procrastinate as the motivation is gone.
There is no wrong or right way to use the organizer effectively.
It is up to the organizer to observe, listen, and assess the client’s needs. This is true about human nature as well. Some of us are great at starting projects and maintaining motivation throughout to completion. Others may start strong in the beginning but start to lose steam as time continues, especially if the project takes longer or there are speed bumps along the way. It is important not to judge your progress or set unreasonable timelines or expectations based on others’ experiences. Rushing to end goals can forfeit learning and growth opportunities. While instant solutions might seem appealing, they would undermine personal development and human connection.
We need to experience the need for community, for helping one another out and knowing that we are not alone.
Asking for help and feeling the vulnerability of that emotion opens us up to greater, richer human experiences, filled with all emotions and experiences. Remember, you’re not alone. An organizer can aid you in achieving your objectives, whether you collaborate with them directly or allow them work independently. When you feel “stuck,” you are not alone. You have others that you can rely on to help you get to your destination.
