Guest Comments:
“Our members absolutely loved Kathi Burns’ Supercharge Your Image presentation. Everyone was able to take something valuable away from it…great, simple tips that will allow us to dress better for our figures and even have more organized closets.” NAWBO
“Great job. Fast paced and interesting.” “Packed full of useful information. Don’t change a thing.” SIMPLIFY! Organizing Expo
Kathi was the speaker for an IWN event (Intuit Women’s Network) at our San Diego sight in conjunction with a We Care and Give Back shoe and purse drive. Kathi was a natural choice to invite to speak because of her expertise in organization and image consulting as well as her passion for Dress for Success. We feel that her presentation was relevant and her approach was great. We loved the Q&A and her willingness to answer questions on the spot! Intuit would love to have Kathi back to share more of her knowledge…we look forward to women coming together and feeling empowered.

“Loved what you said today about ‘space’ at the GOG Business Explosion. Without ‘space’, both physical and mental, it is harder to function. Still working on clearing space and I can always make it better, but I do appreciated the benefit that space provides. It’s sort of like a computer that needs a certain amount of memory just to do the simplest things and cannot do it without having sufficient memory or hard drive space.” Dana Green Esq.
