Susan Kousek, the owner of Balanced Spaces®, LLC in Reston, Virginia, is a Certified Professional Organizer and a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and of the National Speakers Association (NSA).
In 1999, she founded Balanced Spaces and has since worked with hundreds of people helping them lead a more organized life in their office or home. Through her seminars, she has taught thousands of attendees how to better manage their time, organize their paper and computer documents, manage email, and declutter their homes and offices.
Seminar clients include local and federal government agencies, trade associations, non-profits, and corporations. She has also presented many times at the NAPO national conference, as well as at NAPO chapters. Individual clients include government and corporate employees, small business and non-profit CEOs, solopreneurs, homeowners, and retirees.
Susan is semi-retired now and feels strongly about giving back to the community so she teaches seminars on downsizing and how to easily create your home inventory, two activities that many people intend to do, but keep putting off. She’s happy when she hears that her seminar attendees were motivated to take action.
