Productivity Specialist Emily Parks Teaches Knowledge Management & How To Increase Productivity at APPA Event

RALEIGH, N.C. - Nov. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- Emily Parks, owner of Organize for Success, LLC, expressed, “I was honored to present at APPA’s annual national Customer Connections Conference. Most of us are constantly inundated with information: emails, news, texts, articles, feeds, blogs, tweets, calls, reminders and more, both in our professional and personal lives.”  Parks continued, “It’s easy to become overwhelmed, so I teach people not only to thrive in managing information, but also how to increase productivity with specific techniques and technology. If you have the right productivity apps and tools, and know how to properly use them, it’s easy to manage information and increase productivity.  Whether you are looking for home office ideas or have a business with 30,000 employees, we can find solutions to fit your needs. Anyone can learn self-development techniques to increase their productivity.” To learn more about the workshops, presentations, and classes Emily offers, please visit: http://organizeforsuccess.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=3

APPA’s annual Customer Connections Conference offers 40 concurrent sessions for utility professionals in the areas of customer service, economic/community development, energy services/efficiency, key accounts and public communications/relations and marketing.

Tobias Sellier, APPA Director of Media Relations & Communications, shared, “Productivity in the workplace is very important for APPA members. Our members represent more than 2,000 community-owned electric utilities. Collectively, these utilities serve more than 47 million Americans. APPA puts customers first and ensures a stable supply of electricity while protecting the environment. APPA members have millions of Americans depending on us, so it’s vital that we not only have strong knowledge management but also continually increase our self-development to offer the best service to our customers.”

Emily Parks continued, “Technology, and knowing which productivity tools to use can be overwhelming, so I teach people how to tame their technology.  I created my business technology workshops and presentations so people have the best, most current information at their fingertips. In my classes I offer organization tips and productivity tools to support people in learning how to do the following:

·      increase efficiency & increase productivity for more profits;

·      accomplish more in less time;

·      quickly locate what you need when you need it;

·      and discover what technology & office organization systems work best for you.”
