About Emily Parks

Whether as an innate tendency with which I was born, a survival mechanism developed growing up with 6 siblings or skills that I\'m continually growing to bolster greater success, I\'ve garnered productivity and organizational expertise to cultivate the life I want to live, readily sharing that knowledge with others who can benefit, too. As a Productivity Strategist, Author, Speaker and Founder of Organize for Success®, I’m your partner for making every minute matter.Since 2007, I’ve helped hundreds of busy, multi-passionate business owners, executives as well as teams stop the endless frustration of overwhelm, clarify their priorities and gain the best, tailored time management tools to achieve their goals. I’ve spoken for thousands, contributed to media nationwide, written powerful books on personalized productivity and become a leader in several organizations, including the Greater Raleigh Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), The KNOW Women, Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and Lung Cancer Initiative. Topics I love include the following:⏳ Aligning time investment with values Work-life integration Creating routines Determining priorities Organizing workspaces🤦‍ Battling procrastination Streamlining workflows‍ Limiting distractions Making email a tool for success Using a calendar for greater results Being prepared for emergencies Thriving through the hectivity Building community and supporting my squad How diversity makes us better🤯 Lessons learned by traveling the entrepreneur journeyAmong several honors, I’ve been recognized in the Triangle Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Awards, KNOW\'s 40 over 40 Women of Distinction as well as Women to KNOW in North Carolina list and with NAWBO-GR\'s Public Policy Advocate Award. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Wake Forest University and a certification from the Institute for Professional Organizers™. Personally, I\'m a fan of sports, automobiles and all sorts of music, often living my life through music lyrics. And, in everything I do, my greatest passions are helping you get the exact tools you need to create the impact you want while using my gifts to make the world a better place. If you’re always wishing you had more time in the day, I can help. How can I help you? Let\'s start a conversation.Reach me here on LinkedIn or learn more on my website at OrganizeForSuccess.com.
