Testimonials

One of life’s great pleasures is to work with someone who has joy, enthusiasm and purpose in what they do. Debra is that someone who does that for me and for the people that encounter her in her work. Her style of teaching and heartfelt caring engage nurses and staff and teach them that humor, and attitude toward life matter! The laughter of HE HE, HA HA, HO HO make all hearts jump for joy. I am glad to be associated with Debra and all of her fine work in resilience training.

Debra’s Laughter Lawyer Leader presentations are an excellent team building presentation for a group or company. Smiles are on all in the room, and everyone has a great time. Stress is immediately reduced among those in the room, and the exercises and information she provides assures that when stress creeps in at a later time, one will be ready to deal with pushing it out the window!

I recently had an opportunity to attend a “Laughter Lawyer” workshop conducted by Debra Norwood. The session was quite an enlightening method of reducing stress, for me, through laughter. Mrs. Norwood is a remarkable facilitator; in addition, she’s personable and charismatic.
