Hello! I'm Marie, the Messy behind the desk at Messy Desk Consulting. My desk is getting tidier these days, as I narrow my focus to writing, consulting, and teaching/training in libraries and other nonprofit organizations.
​
My expertise:
-
Leadership & Organizational Development
-
Motivation & Culture
-
Workflow & Organization
-
Assessment
-
Content Creation
​
With degrees in leadership, education, librarianship, and English, I have been teaching, writing, and leading for decades. At Messy Desk, I draw on my skills and signature strengths to help a variety of clients find their own paths to success.
​
What does success look like for you?
Let me help you get there!
