Hear from Noralee’s Client’s!
Noralee was my first coach ever and if not for her, I wouldn’t be the speaker that I am today. It is one thing to tell you what you can improve upon, but it is another thing to show you how to do that. One of Noralee’s best qualities is tailoring the coaching to suit the needs and abilities of who she is coaching. Noralee’s gentle, yet incredibly effective coaching helped me break my mold and overcome many of my self-limiting beliefs. Her words, “If you do not believe in yourself, borrow my belief in you.” changed my life forever. Noralee equipped me with the ability to identify the feedback that strengthened me as a speaker and let go of the feedback that did not promote my authenticity. Noralee’s guidance has been a game changer for me and she continues to lead by example every single time I interact with her. I hope I grow up to be kind, compassionate, and giving just like Noralee.

I can testify to Noralee’s wonderful ability to lead, motivate and inspire individuals to be their best. I had a very personal interaction with her as she mentored me in a new role. She inspired me with the importance of my role and the belief that I could perform the role with excellence. I will forever be grateful to Noralee as my mentor, my friend, and my inspiration in my journey towards excellence. She is a precious jewel to be treasured.

Like many others, I was never fond of public speaking, but thanks to Noralee, I have learned so much as a Toastmaster and have become a much better speaker. She was my advisor, cheerleader, trainer, and friend, all in one. As a mentor, she was very knowledgeable, attentive, respectful, and gracious when giving feedback. She was always kind and encouraging as she helped me improve my public speaking skills.
