“This is reinforcing a lot of things that I live internally and knew, but to hear it from this perspective has been very good for me. The things I’ve learned, particularly related to the inner voice, have been great. It was certainly worth the investment. If really concerned about bettering self and bettering life this is the program.”

“I heard the Authenticity presentation and I was reminded that no matter where you are and what you do and if you touch lives as I do you have to remember to be authentic. Be yourself, you don’t have to be on stage, you don’t have to be judgmental, you don’t have to remember who’s better than you or who’s not as good as you. Just be authentic and come from your authentic self.”

n the movie Auntie Mame, there is a line that goes something like this “I’m going to open doors for you, doors that you never knew existed.” In many ways, that line describes what I experienced as a coaching client of Dr. Norma Hollis. Norma instantly put me at ease at the start of our sessions, making me feel fully supported and open to sharing my challenges and concerns. She also asked insightful questions and attentively listened to my answers. This, in turn, enabled her to quickly identify some of my major mental blocks, as well as certain values and beliefs that had been driving my behavior. Norma was then able to ignite, within me, the spark to make positive changes in my life and uncover new and exciting possibilities. She opened the door to letting go of different things that had been holding me back. She opened the door to helping me connect with my ability to show up more fully and authentically in the world. She opened the door to help me release the brakes from launching a new business venture and to see what I could do to make it even more successful than what I had envisioned. If you are struggling to make your personal or professional life as rewarding and satisfying as possible or simply need a little help in getting past something that is keeping you stuck, Norma is a warm, supportive, and insightful guide who can help you to unlock your potential and get moving in the right direction.

“I don’t know where I can get this level of understanding on any program that I’ve ever been with. It’s metaphysical, psychological, ecological, spiritual, intellectual and everything else. I love it and wouldn’t miss it. It is making me a better person while making me a better speaker.”

“Norma Hollis rocked my stage. She brought so much value to my audience and was very interactive. People were incredibly enthralled by her. Plus she was one of the most amazing MC’s that I have ever had. You need to book her!”

I am the Organizer of the Entrepreneurs International Network (“EIN”). With 79k members, EIN is the world’s largest free training organization for entrepreneurs. On July 13, 2021 Ms. Norma Hollis spoke authentically, eloquently and enthusiastically to my members. The title of her presentation was “Double Your Sales With Authentic Selling.” Norma totally engaged the audience with her stories and examples and the depth and breadth of her knowledge around all things related to authentic selling. She opened many eyes to the awesome potential of authentic selling. My members adored her. You will too!

“I hadn’t realized how much I needed this. I’m a coach and I know my stuff. I’m also a former corporate leader and had not realized how much I needed to be guided. One thing I realized is that I have a lot of experience and I have my gifts but they are all scattered, somewhat like a puzzle. And what Norma did was make me fee comfortable and allow me to be who I am – uniquely myself. And now the pieces of the puzzle are together. Now I have become and will continue to become a whole person so I can help other sin return. I have so much more to give because of the coaching.”

Excellent presentation. Norma is great presenter and I remained engaged throughout. Clear, concise and such useful information. Totally love the Authenticity Grid.
