Testimonials

If you ever have the opportunity to work with Nora, you are as lucky as I have become. What makes Nora stand out is her ability to dish out tough love. She helps her clients be their best, by getting to know them personally and provides that much needed reality check. Nora is honest and effectively leverages her listening skills to build a relationship based on trust and mutual respect. She also knows how to get her clients to be open to new perspectives. Nora also has a toolbox full of techniques that has helped me change for the positive in both my personal and professional life. To me, Nora has not just been a coach but someone I can call as a friend, and we have only known each other for a few months. Just a testament to why she's an exceptional executive coach

Executive Director, IT

Nora, as my coach, helped me understand who I was at a time when I reached a critical point in my career. She really introduced me to what the possibilities and choices were based on my interests and encouraged me to think outside of the box I had created in the past 20 years. While I did not end up where we thought my passions were (and probably are), she guided me towards making sure that I kept my true self intact while pursuing the practical side of a career choice. I definitely recommend Nora as a coach, whether it be as an exclusive coach or as someone for a periodic "tune up" to explore the art of possibility that life offers.

Vice President, Finance

Nora is an excellent Executive Coach, Career Counselor and an accomplished author. I have worked with her as a member of a team which she coached, as a recipient of personal career counseling, and as a CMO ? engaging her to work with my entire team. She is very creative and adapts to the needs and culture of the organization, very well. She is committed to driving to clear, tangible results for teams and individuals. I count her as both a trusted advisor and a friend.
