Who is Tiffany Mock Holton?                                                           
I am the Founder and Principle of Tiffany Mock Holton Associates (TMA). Since 2002, TMA has been successfully developing, tailoring, and implementing organizational and time management solutions that increase efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity for clients in diverse industries and environments. I work with business owners, managers, and employees to train them in valuable habits that improve job performance and fulfillment in the workplace.
 
A clear, dynamic communicator, I am able to establish rapport with individuals and teams at all organizational levels. I have the unique gifts of empathy, curiosity, and a perceptive nature that allows me to tune in to a variety of different personality styles and identify what’s needed to help people realize their personal and professional potential. Fascinated by the psychology behind my work, I enjoy uncovering what my clients' specific behaviors are and why they do what they do. I see my work with clients as an opportunity to help them live a better life and put them back in the driver’s seat. Once they take back control of their time and surroundings, they work smarter instead of harder. Clients are clear, confident, and calm.
 
How did I get into doing this work and what fascinates me about my field?
When I worked at Oracle, I was responsible for launching a line of software products to the market on a worldwide basis. Although this sounds glamorous, I found it mostly unfulfilling. I loved managing people, which I found easy and fun. But as for the rest of the work, I liked organizing it better than doing it! Since I felt unsettled in my career, I started working with an amazing career coach, Joel Garfinkle who pulled out of me what my gifts were as opposed to the skills I had learned for succeeding in the business world. I discovered I had a natural ability to improve productivity and organization and to teach the process to others. Every day, I feel lucky that I can guide people to lead better, more satisfying lives. I am definitely a people person, and the psychology behind productivity fascinates me. It’s also a benefit that I get to work in many different types of businesses and industries.
 
What’s my philosophy and approach to working with clients?
I believe we are all are born with certain gifts—either you’re born with innate organizational skills or you’re not. Most of us are somewhere in the middle. It’s not good or bad, it just is. I was born with a high skill level in this area, but if you asked me do a painting of the park outside my window, I could not do it. The key is to put yourself in a position to use your natural talents, and seek others in the areas of your shortcomings.
 
What are some contributions I’ve made to my profession?
As a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), I am able to keep up on the latest industry trends. I was a co-presenter on identity theft, one of the fastest growing crimes in the U.S., at the NAPO San Francisco Bay Area Regional Conference in October 2003. Currently, I am active in two special interest groups concentrating on workplace productivity in corporations and small businesses.
 
What are some of my proudest achievements as a professional?
I am thrilled that I was able to leave Oracle to discover my dream job and make it a reality, creating a full time, financially sustainable business from nothing more than a desire. Now, I get to make a difference in people’s lives by improving the quality of their work day. In 2004, San Francisco Magazine awarded me a Best of the Bay award for organizational services. I also got a mention in Mary Furlong’s book, Turning Silver Into Gold, How to Profit in the New Boomer Marketplace.  
 
What’s my educational background?
I went to Arizona State University, W.P. Carey School of Business, and in 1988 earned a B.S. in Supply Chain Management. I was recruited by Applied Materials where I spent my first three years as a professional. I earned my American Production & Inventory Control Society (APICS) and Certified Purchasing Manager (CPM) certifications. Like a lot of people, I worked in this area for four years after college and then moved on. I spend the next eight years in Marketing working for Amdahl and Oracle, and earned Certified Business Communicator (CBC) and Marketing Communications certifications. When I started Tiffany Holton Associates, I took some training through NAPO. But primarily I’ve relied on my innate gifts and abilities coupled with my 12 years in corporate marketing where I honed my ability to listen and problem solve with people and projects worldwide.
