Who is Dr. Norm?

Dr. Norm was born and raised in Ohio, and has been described as possessing “solid midwestern values.” After his undergraduate major in psychology and a brief exposure to graduate school education in New England, he received a Master’s degree and PhD in clinical psychology with training as a psychotherapist at the University of Cincinnati.

He was part of a project team that’s successfully improved the consumer experience for veterans who came to the hospital for services.

He was an instructor at the University of Northern Kentucky and built a private practice. He became increasingly involved with business leaders and executive teams, and found that he had significant impacts on high achievers who wanted to grow and improve.

He moved to South Florida over 20 years ago and works as a Corporate Psychologist, Advisor and Author. He travels fairly extensively throughout the United States in his corporate consulting role. In addition to helping as a ghost writer for speakers, senior leaders constructing performance reviews, and those who are rewriting resumes. He has written a suspense novel called HIDDEN PAST (Amazon.com) under a pen name, Dr. Sidney Lanier. The novel, similar to short stories that he writes, is self-help suggestions disguised as fiction.

Currently, he heads up a leadership advisory firm that works with Boards, teams, and individuals to maximize effectiveness. Individuals can benefit from his breadth of experience and wisdom coupled with his clinical, counseling and coaching skills to grow and achieve greater success.

Dr. Norm helps individuals focus on goals, priorities, and continuous improvement. An agent and coach, he acts on behalf of you in your drive to fulfill your potential. He is a licensed psychologist and member of the American Psychological Association and the Society for Human Resources Management. He has volunteered his time and services within prison populations and community service organizations. His work continues to impact a wide range of professionals, helping to launch them on paths to success in both new and traditional work paradigms.

“No two people are identical, and the better you understand your unique self, your impact on others and your very own blend of talents, the more effective you will be in achieving your goals and your potential. I won’t let you forget about self-care.”
