TESTIMONIALS
“You have a great ability to connect with everyone regardless of age, sex, social class. I feel everyone was able and willing to look inside which doesn’t always happen in our line of work. I recommend Norma as a person who can connect with all walks of life. Someone who can inspire even the most stubborn minds to look inside themselves to better their lives and those around them.”

“Targeting the areas that need tweaking - This was very accurate, because the two lowest scores were the areas that I started working on improving within the past year or two. It was confirmation to keep pushing!
The above statement is also my testimony. Self-awareness is important to me. The older I get the more I want to understand why I do the things I do. Having a guideline like this will help me to continuously evaluate any joy status.”

“Norma’s eloquence in delivery, her respect for diversity of her audience, and her use of her own experience to tell a story that is linked to the key learning of her messages was so well received. The time spend this morning in self-reflection and exploration of our authenticity has created a “buzz” within our County team. We all walked away more aware of ourselves and focused on how to leverage our individual gifts to strengthen our inner, outer, and expressive voice! Very powerful and moving morning!”

“I have met many speakers who have been inspired by what I call ‘the Norma Factor’ - her authentic desire to help others coupled with her deep wisdom and knowledge of the speaking business. Her positive impact on numerous speakers makes her a valuable resource to the industry.”
Les Brown, The Motivator
“I heard Norma speak on authenticity. She reminded me that no matter where you are and what you do, if you touch lives as I do, you have to remember to be authentic. Be yourself, you don’t have to be on stage, you don’t have to be judgmental, you don’t have to remember who’s better than you or who’s not as good as you. Just be authentic and come from your authentic self.”

“Norma, I met you in Feb, 2015 when you spoke with the Nursing Executives. In five months:
• I have lost 35 pounds and continue to lose.
• I have made major steps forward on a stalled dissertation.
• I have redefined my relationship with a ‘friend’ whose behavior did not support that title.
Please know that you have had a huge impact on me.”

“By attending Norma’s seminar, I discovered new ways of transforming and actually delivering my organization at its highest level, in its purest form. This is something I’ve always searched for and finally found through Norma’s presentation. She taught me how to speak the truth in the most powerful manner.”
Nick Nadier
Melody House Foundation
“I met with Norma for a special session after her keynote presentation. We had an extraordinary one-hour session. I arrived to the session very confused about ‘next steps’ for my business. My business is two years old and I wasn’t sure what to do next. Norma listened intently and then, gave me a three-step plan to move my business forward. I can go home knowing exactly what to do next… all because of Norma.”

“The event on Saturday was simply remarkable. I was present with two of my team members and we all received great value and benefit from your work shop. In our line of business we speak before audiences of employees and I can assure you that we received a new found confidence about ourselves and our business. We would not have preferred to be anywhere else doing anything else, with the wealth of information and knowledge imparted to us collectively we are gracious to have been in your presence. Norma, your eloquence and demeanor coupled with your authentic nature and humility brought an insight that will remain locked in our consciousness forever. On behalf of my colleagues and myself we thank you tremendously and will remain indebted to you for a lifetime. Wishing you and your entire organization the best, the most, the greatest and the highest always!”

“Norma, you have no idea of how you have impacted my life business and personal. Once I am in a position to enlighten you without getting emotional I will do so. I don’t know how many people you have touched in this manner but please know I count as 1. Looking forward to your inspiration and aligning myself for future endeavors as Authentic as I can be...”
