Nora provides value to her clients by understanding their organizational objectives and crafting solutions, rooted in her expertise, that meet those objectives. Clients have said:"Nora’s presentation was interesting, informative and entertaining. A number of points were shared that peeked my interest, which led me to be more conscious of the generational differences, and the power to connect with the people on my team that comes with my new found consciousness." ~ Daryl L. Harris, Associate Director, Information Systems (IS) Master Data, Kraft Foods
"I attended your presentation last week, as part of the Public Safety EX retreat, only one word: WOW! You were absolutely fantastic. I learned so much about my younger staff (and my older bosses). You are a very good speaker, entertaining yet educational. I talked about you to a friend getting into her Master's in Sociology and she was even energized by my reporting of your presentation!" ~ France Bergeron, Director, Science and Technology Policy Public Safety Government of Canada
"Participants appreciated your informative style, stories and examples shared, depth and broad applicability of content. There were some recommendations for specific tips on recruitment/retention; more interactive or group; and handouts to follow along during the session. You provided us with a great deal of food for thought: encouraging us to see larger patterns and more complex layers at work than are usually considered." ~ Lori Gauld, Consultant, Leadership & Staff Development St. Michael's Hospital
"I must say that your presentation was a true eye opener. University courses did touch on managing a successful workforce but I've never had it more clearly presented and explained and put into perspective, never mind the absolutely wonderful way you structured your presentation around anecdotes and humour.! I feel this presentation is the best I've attended in recent months and the knowledge is not only going to stick with me but greatly help me with those Gen I's and Wee's coming right behind us!" ~ Neli Iaydjieva Environment Canada
