Nora is a terrific presenter and facilitator. I had the pleasure of participating in several excellent training sessions given by Nora. Not only does she do a great job with the content, but she is very engaging and funny. As a benefits manager, I also appreciated the several times when Nora assisted with benefits annual enrollment at some of our field office locations. Since she had held an HR director position at a previous company, she is well-versed in all areas of HR and did a great job assisting us at a time when we are always short-staffed. Just a small example of her diverse talents and team orientation.
