Main Stage—Sarah Singer-Nourie, M.A.
Tapping Their Greatness with High Impact Training
Sarah Singer-Nourie offers a fun, interactive session that will engage you in the secrets to motivational teaching with any content and any audience. It’s based on tapping into brain research and what it shows about what works fastest and best, which translates into successful strategies and powerful mindsets for maximizing your teaching.
You’ll come away with strategies to use music and action to change behavior, attitude, and results as people tap into their learning styles and multiple intelligences. You see how to deliver workshops that get their attention, give them an experience of the content, and erase the need to repeat the information. Plus you and your participants will have more fun learning!
Sarah Singer-Nourie, M.A. is an award-winning trainer, educator, and coach who brings new life to learning for youth and adults in a variety of settings around the globe. Her programs open possibilities in learning and growth, creating a bridge between brain research and real life learning as she uncovers the potential, play, and power in each person she works with.
Sarah has created several audio series and live programs including Tapping Their Greatness: Tools for the Inspired Leader, Pocket Full of Greatness, and High Impact Training & Powerful Presentations. She is the coauthor of Quantum Teaching: Orchestrating Student Success and president of Singer Learning, Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Voice of Experience—Jim Taszarek
Computer, Digital, Online Tools for Speakers

Taz has tons of good, useable, practical information for us, mixed with lots of fun.
Extreme Speaker Makeover—Gwyn Nichols and Debra Exner
How to Write Your Book (or Next Book) Before You Retire
At an NSA Silent Auction, Debra bid on Gwyn’s donation of manuscript editing. About a week after, she and her co-presenter first considered writing a book. That bold commitment and Gwyn’s consultant support moved them from thinking about a book to thoroughly researching and beginning it.
Learn how the three of them worked together to get this book moving fast. See how you can apply these perspectives and strategies to advance your own project.
Gwyn Nichols, a book editor and ghostwriter, recently founded Blue Monarch Press. Gwyn trained at an academic journal where she was known for translating articles written by PhDs into readable English. At the time, she suffered from such an incapacitating writing block of her own, she considered changing her major from English to chemistry. Eventually, Gwyn learned to write fluently any time, anywhere, and she went on to complete a master’s degree in English. She now writes poetry and fiction, and edits nonfiction, combining language expertise with healing encouragement as she works with authors or leads writing retreats.
Debra Exner helps her clients connect, communicate, and collaborate. She and her co-author, Maddie Hunter of New Jersey, first led a cancer support organization together, and then went on to research and teach effective collaboration. They lead workshops for corporations and associations, and are being invited to speak at international conferences.
In addition to speaking and training, Debra is a Professional Certified Coach and president of the Phoenix chapter of the International Coach Federation.
