On this episode of the cavnessHR podcast we talk to Ellia Harris. She is the Chief Organizing and Productivity Coach at her company Mindful Organizing

Ellia Harris is Chief Organizing and Productivity Coach through her company Mindful Organizing. She works with professionals who are stressed by their messy home, scattered brain, or project deadlines. By working either side-by-side or virtually Ellia helps her clients change their habits so they have more time and quality of life in their home and their work.

Ellia is also a Corporate Trainer, Coach, and Speaker through her sister company The Potential Center, which she is currently re-launching. Ellia first launched The Potential Center in 2002, where she used group training and executive coaching to help businesses and nonprofits in the US and the UK improve problem-solving, leadership and team-working.

She was recently drawn back to corporate training as a result of being asked to create the course “Boost Productivity Using Creative Problem-Solving” for NAPO (the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals) where it is currently available online at NAPO University.

Both Mindful Organizing and The Potential Center support Ellia’s passion for helping people live up to their potential. And, as a member of the NAPO Education Committee, Ellia also contributes to the ongoing education of productivity consultants.

We talk about the following:

1. Discussion of the importance of creative problem solving.

2. How to create an environment that stimulates critical thinking

-let teams arrange their own offices

-Choose a section of each floor to be the ‘creativity corner’

-Experiencing the unfamiliar purposefully—take a day to explore externally

3. Secret to-do list mastery checklist—available on Ellia’s website

Ellia’s Advice

We've been talking about fun and creativity. So, my last piece of advice is to bring fun into the workplace. Nothing opens up the brain like play. And unfortunately, as we've got older, learning by playing decreases, and this is a real shame, because actually play helps the neurons in our brains make communication better between the left analytical side and the right creative side. So you know, play is a really nice way of opening up those connections. So go play.
