What is the Cost
of Disorganization

Margaret Lukens, owner and principal

I founded New Leaf + Company because I love working with business owners and professionals to create simple and effective solutions, clear plans, and room to grow.

After receiving my MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, my work experience took me through international finance, education, and non-profit management. With a partner I founded a gourmet food store in Connecticut, where I was responsible for employees, product development, inventory management, marketing - everything. In each of these areas, I enjoyed creating systems where none existed before.

My business school training and real-world experience allow me to speak to the numbers, but business is not just about the numbers. My work in the non-profit arena, where human values are the focus, helps me to address the less analytical and more emotional side of business. Many of my clients appreciate the way I approach them as whole people. I understand and respond to your personality and learning style.

I have achieved the distinction of becoming a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO®), one of the first in the US. In 2007 I was given the honor of being chosen president of the 200-member San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers. And I'm a proud member of International Coach Federation.

I am passionate about supporting charities dedicated to wealth creation in developing countries, women's welfare, and improved access to education.

I have been selected by my peers to present conference workshops on business organizing topics. I love to share what I have learned about helping businesses large and small.

So who's the "company" in New Leaf + Company?

Whenever additional resources are required, I call on my network of skilled organizers, coaches, bookkeepers, and other professionals to make sure my clients get whatever they need in the shortest time possible.
