"Norm has delivered workshops to different employee groups within our organization on Difficult Conversations, Conflict Resolution, and Enhancing Workplace Communication Skills. His abilities go beyond his excellent skill in conflict resolution and executive coaching and he has been involved in a comprehensive series of interventions for a workplace in distress due to both trauma and conflict. I see Norm's greatest strengths as his executive coaching ability, his knowledge around organizational governance, his conflict resolution and leadership skills, as well as his ability to take people and groups into deeper waters of learning and growth in a skilled and efficient manner."
