Judith Kolberg is my long time friend and
colleague, and, as of 2 years ago, my brilliant collaborator as
well.
The Emotional Labor book would not be what it is without Judith’s
talents – as an editor and writer, and as a listener. Our work
together on the book was delightful and fun, and Judith’s sense of
humor shows up on many pages.
Our podcast conversation covers a range of topics – how
executive function skills show up in ‘doing’ emotional labor, the
invisible work of sequencing, how self-care happens with left over
time, and we also talk about our collaboration and the benefits of
working with a writing and book coach.
Judith founded the Atlanta-based professional organizing company,
FileHeads Professional Organizers in 1989. She is credited with
launching an entire field of professional organizing specifically
dedicated to addressing the needs of individuals who are challenged
by chronic disorganization. She founded the National Study Group on
Chronic Disorganization, the precursor to the Institute for
Challenging Disorganization (ICD). Her innovative organizing
methods are described in four commercially successful books.
Judith’s depth of experience and humorous delivery has made her a
popular international speaker worldwide on various
organization/disorganization issues. Respected by her peers as an
industry thought-leader, she is the recipient of the organizing
industry’s highest awards and has been honored with the creation of
the Judith Kolberg Award. Judith is a former President of the GA
chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers; an
emeritus member of NAPO, and a member of the ICD.
A native of Levittown, New York, Judith is a graduate of the State
University of New York at Binghamton with a degree in Sociology.
She currently lives in Atlanta, where she takes care of her mom,
sees clients and is a book coach helping authors write and publish
their books.
