“Attending the session was really positive for me; I realized that I am not alone with the struggle of advocating for myself. Nora provided real tools that can actually work in a personal and professional capacity. I also learned that being ‘selfish’ can actually be a good thing! There has always been a negative connotation to that word, but I left the session feeling totally different about it. I will continue working with Nora and can't recommend her enough!”

— Katie Wefler, MSHRM

“Your session focusing on self-advocacy and self-actualization was the perfect way to start the year! You were meant to be a facilitator; that was evident by the ease in which you created a safe space for the group both to be vulnerable and learn from one another! The ability to dig deeper into my values and to learn the clarity and purpose matrix are just a couple of my many takeaways!  I also really appreciate the workbook; it is a great way for us to hold ourselves accountable and affords us the opportunity to go through the activities on an annual basis!” 

— Michelle Shirley, MBA

“Nora brings her good-humored temperament and expertise to the Getting Selfish experience, challenging participants to get concrete in their strategy for achieving their future selves and arming them with the means to say no along the way.”

-Matt Frongillo

“The Getting Selfish workshop was everything good development should be: engaging, thought-provoking, fun, and full of other humans who are interested in reflecting on themselves and their behaviors in an effort to improve. Nora is incredibly good at facilitating this content; everyone walked away with tangible next steps and strategies they can use at work and outside of work!”

-Kye Hawkins

“The ‘Getting Selfish’ workshop was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to align their decisions (with the power of Yes and No's) with their core values. Nora was outstanding, creating an engaging environment that encouraged deep personal reflection and community building. She knows how to pull a group together, make sure everyone feels included and inspired, and will thoughtfully shine a light on topics you need to be thinking about to thrive.”

-Sidney Hill-Kartel

“Getting Selfish laid a great foundation providing the tools and insights necessary to step into a more empowered and effective version of myself. The course deconstructed the misconceived notion that "being selfish" is inherently negative and reshaped my mindset to appreciate the power of selective engagement & self-efficacy. Learning to say 'no' and thoughtfully choosing where to invest my energy not only helps me find more personal fulfillment in my day-to-day life, but also helps me be more productive since I am aligning the things that I say 'yes' to with my values. This is a great course for anyone who feels stretched too thin or struggles with saying 'yes' out of fear of seeming un-collaborative when they need to say 'no'.”
