Online Customer Care Rep

"I do this for Lucy. I'd do anything for her. Because if my presence doesn't make an impact, my absence won't make a difference".

One hot afternoon in May 2005, Nora walked into her friend Lucy's mother's empty restaurant. There, she found the woman in excruciating pain, sobbing as she rubbed some balm on her sore knees. It was clear her line of work exacerbated her arthritis.

Curious, Nora asked why she stuck with a job that worsened her health. 

"I do this for Lucy. I'd do anything for her. Because if my presence doesn't make an impact, my absence won't make a difference, she said."

Those words hit Nora hard and stayed with her through the years. 'No life is complete unless it impacts another'.

From Quilla Bohannon, who brings joy to kids with hair loss through "Free Wigs 4 Kids", to Nigerian Hydroponic Farmer, Samson Ogbole,  and all the purpose-driven individuals whose stories she has told…these impact stories, they're her jam.

With a background in development communications, feature writing, and digital storytelling, Nora has over 12 years of experience in humanitarian and gender-based issues.

In 2005, for example, she conducted the first-ever project on Female Genital Mutilation for the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Maiduguri. This research yielded vital recommendations and laid the groundwork for development communication efforts in the Zawiya Community.

In 2022, Nora kicked off "Tell Your Brand Story," a 51,000-subscriber-strong newsletter that has empowered professionals and entrepreneurs with the tools to master brand storytelling. 

She’s also the creator of “The 7-Day Personal Branding Email Challenge,” where she's trained 112 entrepreneurs from 7 countries to build stellar brands on LinkedIn.

She is a strong advocate for climate action, a loving wife, and a mom.

Nora is a LinkedIn Top Voice in Storytelling and Social Impact. She has been featured in LA Weekly, InStyle, Insights Success, the Guardian, Vanguard, Daily Trust, and Marketing Edge.

In 2023, she was listed as one of the top 100 Content Creators in Nigeria and #1 in Writing and storytelling by Favikon. 

Nora is committed to empowering organizations, entrepreneurs, and professionals to harness the power of storytelling for sustainable impact, influence, and income.

Fourth Level Coaching

The fourth level of personal development is identified as transformation, it’s the level where letting go of fears takes place.  At the fourth level, courage is found to grow, develop, adapt, and where lifelong learning and continuous renewal and personal growth are nurtured.  

Fourth Level Coaching is designed to help professionals who are seeking clarity on a life decision, uncover their hidden potential and increase their confidence from the inside out. 

Do you ask yourself
Why do I feel I need to be perfect?
Why do I worry I will fail before I start?
Why do I care so much what others think of me?

Or do you ask yourself
Why don’t I love what I do anymore?
What can I do to make more of a difference?
How do I get myself to the next level of fulfillment?

Fourth Level coaching is a proven system, a step-by-step process, called building your “A” game. 

First, we start with a look at how you think and behave, so we are 100% clear on your strengths and your challenges.

Then we take a personal deep dive into the seven narratives that control your life‘s energy.

This enables you to articulate an authentic future vision by helping you define your values. During our coaching sessions, I encourage you to prioritize your focus around your unique strengths. This process successfully creates strong and calm self-belief and helps effectively organize your thinking to make the best decisions. 

In each step we will uncover and identify fears, challenges, and triggers that are holding you back, develop actions you can take now, to begin to thrive, and to ultimately, live your most fulfilled life.

ValuesJam

The ValuesJam card game is inspired by jamming in music (where musicians come together spontaneously and play without rehearsal) because many of the same characteristics are shared: when we play ValuesJam we find ourselves deeply present, connected and trusting, being curious and experimental without judging, giving our fellow ValuesJammers space and respect – in other words we find a unique new rhythm and magical, unpredictable results happen as we create something unique together which can never be repeated.

Ask me to ValuesJam with you!

National Advisory Board Member

In the throes of a successful career in aerospace I was spurred by a health crisis to pursue a much more personal “organizational change.” 

After being diagnosed with a stroke, I began to see my life not as a problem to solve but a journey to treasure, I started to study under thought leader Deepak Chopra and retired from industry in 2016.

Over time, my life has taken on many roles; I joined the Navy at age 19 to travel the world.  I’ve lived in Switzerland, Iceland, and Turkey, and was stationed on a submarine tender underway.  I am trained as an engineer and applied scientist; I specialize in pattern recognition.

I am a survivor of domestic violence and raised a successful daughter as a single parent.
 
My superpower is Intuitive Mindset Empowerment coaching which focuses almost exclusively on your inner thoughts, self-beliefs and behavioral patterns to help you uncover what's holding you back and find the motivation to move forward. 

Bringing my 30 years of transformational experiences, I am on a journey to personally lead others on their quest of self-discovery, and my scientific tool of choice is Emergenetics.  A self-assessment profile tool based on psychology, social analytics, and brain science.

My work starts with the soundtrack of your childhood because that is what creates the narrative of your life, I call it building your “A” game.  In simple terms it is how to harness your personal power. 

Our world is experiencing a spiritual awakening, and each day we wake up to new realities. Who am I is a soul question, not a resume answer and that took me 50 years to learn.  I work with clients creating breakthroughs to unlock their personal power and awaken their inner wisdom.

Why wait till you’re diagnosed with a stroke, or cancer, or you lose your job?
  
I give you the tools to help you uncover what is holding you back from living the life you were meant to live and facilitate a personal discovery of greatness. Step into your personal power today.

If this resonates with you, then reach out, I just may be the help you need!

A great first step is listening to my current book, The Labyrinth Influence Awaken the Wisdom Within 
https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Labyrinth-Influence-Audiobook/B08TF7WCLD

Clients include global companies, many with over 100,000 employees: United States Navy, Lockheed Martin, France Energy, AT&T, World Bank, Defense Acquisition University, National Contract Management Association, and the Society of Women Engineers.

Day One of a Dream

❇️ The website is live. The photos are up. The “launch” button has been pressed.

And now…
Will anyone click?
Will orders come in?
Will this dream take flight?

✨Every founder knows this moment — the mix of hope, nerves, and possibility.

It’s the space between vision and validation, where faith does the heavy lifting.

Supporting young founders isn’t just about buying their product.

✴️ It’s about showing them they matter.

It’s about reminding them that courage counts more than clicks,
and that every idea born from heart and purpose deserves to be seen.

✨ Because this is where founder readiness begins —
In the belief that what they’re building has value,
and that they have value, no matter what the numbers say on day one.

💎 Today, I celebrate all the young entrepreneurs launching something new into the world — especially those creating from love, like my friend’s daughter, whose jewelry business just went live. See the comments for link!

💟 May you trust the process.
May you shine with confidence.
And may the world meet your creations with open hearts.
