  • People & Properties

    We’ll start at the very beginning, helping you collect the information you need to manage your property, understanding who’s responsible for what, and identifying tasks that are within your control — so you can be ready for anything.

  • Time & Tasks

    Next, we’ll give you tips and tools for managing your time and keeping everyone in your household (residents, staff and vendors) on the same page. You’ll organize tasks into four core categories, so you can anticipate as much as possible and minimize surprises.

  • Control & Consistency

    Finally, we’ll make sure you’re ready to put what you’ve learned and planned into practice. You’ll leave with tips for working with your team, verifying and tracking progress, and reporting on what you’ve accomplished, so you can start to create consistency year after year.

Instructor & Estate Management Expert

The modern household management workshops are led by Shelby Boudreau, a seasoned estate manager with two decades of experience managing luxury properties and growing estates. In these courses, she draws from her own experience scaling a 16–property estate, and shares tried and true methods for managing household operations. “As someone who has walked in your shoes, it’s my goal to teach you the importance of connecting the dots between people and properties,” says Shelby. “I want to help you elevate your skills, gain the respect of your team members, and walk away from this course with the knowledge and confidence to thrive (instead of survive) as an estate manager.”
