SHOW OVERVIEW
Leslie Josel is the founder and CEO of the organization, Order Out of Chaos, whose mission is to provide hands-on education, guidance and coaching to parents and their students through customized products and programs so all children – both mainstream and with learning difficulties – can develop the necessary skills needed to experience success in learning and in life.
Leslie did not start out knowing she wanted to start a business, but when her four-year-old son was diagnosed with ADHD she found effective and unique ways to untangle his world and other people started asking if she would help do the same for their children.
Leslie quit her job in human resources and started going to other people’s homes and organizing them so children with ADHD could succeed and then started working one-on-one with kids in-person and virtually.
A turning point in her business was when Leslie created and started selling her Academic Planner: A Tool for Time Management.
She made sure that when a customer was buying a planner, they were becoming a part of a supportive community, not just buying a product one time.
Leslie started her journey belonging to the National Association of Organizing and Productivity Professionals and Institute for Challenging Disorganization. These two organizations really helped her learn and grow her business.
One strategy Leslie has found that is really important in growing a business is having multiple pillars happening that all work together.
Another thing that has grown Leslie’s business massively is being in constant communication with her community (no matter the size) and polling them about what they want.
Leslie is a strong believer that growing your email list is super important and growing on social media should be bringing you back to your website and email list.
When Leslie sees a new problem or need in her community, rather than sending people elsewhere, she brings in other experts so she can continue to maintain and grow her business. She knows her limits, checks her ego, and does not feel threatened by other experts.
When a mistake is made at Order Out of Chaos, they are really upfront about it, and this helps Leslie release stress.
Leslie has written over 175 of her weekly “Dear ADHD Family Coach” column in the ADDitude Magazine and has now published three books.
