Michele Connolly’s Summary

I founded www.GetOrganizedWizard.com and created Design Your Life, a comprehensive e-Program for achieving your goals, organizing your life and being your best.

In creating tools that help people live happier, more organized lives, I draw on skills and knowledge as a qualified life coach, psychology and business degrees, and independent research I undertook for my thesis on happiness.

My background includes managing marketing departments for large financial institutions and running successful small businesses – places that tested my personal organization strategies.

I use post-graduate professional writing qualifications to make my materials simple and enjoyable to use.

I'm regularly invited to speak on happiness and personal organization, my two passions.

My company is called Happiness Strategies, because I believe people can choose to be happier. And I think it’s easier to be happy if you set goals to work on, and take steps to be organized.

I'm 42, hyper-organized, and addicted to coffee and chocolate. I live in Sydney with my husband, Craig, and my beloved espresso machine, Cliff.
