-I invited Norma to be a Speaker at a 200-person conference for women in XX Healthcare before we’d ever had a real conversation. She made a casual comment at a conference we both attended at the Northwestern University school of Journalism, and I could see from the reaction in the room that she could engage and inspire a crowd.

Norma was the closing Speaker-a tough spot-and managed to excite the crowd and bring fresh energy to the room after a long day.  I still hear from attendees that found inspiration in her message about managing stress and well-being.
