We’ve had so much positive feedback from the team – many calling her the best speaker they’ve seen.””

““One of the most inspirational speakers I have met.
Eloquent and modest she totally drew the listeners in. Some of us forgot where we were, we were so enthralled. Absolutely fantastic.”
”

““Bonita is a rare combination of qualities – she is determined yet humble, really human yet clearly incredibly driven – she made our course delegates feel that if she could achieve what she had from such a standing start they could too. She particularly connected with the women in the audience; young, female and super-successful she was a genuine role model for our talented women.””

““Bonita’s talk was incredible. The emphasis on following the process, progress by small steps, focusing on what you can change, and not fretting about what you can’t, was a beautifully delivered reminder to keep working on what you can, take the rest you need, and then push again because things are more achievable than you think.””

““Thank you Bonita. My colleagues and I have been quoting you ever since you left the stage. You are an extraordinary human and it was a privilege to host you and hear your wisdom.””

““I will simply say that Bonita was outstanding. She pitched her keynote exactly right for what the room needed to hear. The verbal feedback I have received so far has been amazing.””

““Exactly what we were looking for to push our audience to keep on fighting to achieve their goals however impossible the challenge might seem. Moving out of one’s comfort zone to seek new challenges was perfectly voiced.””

““Bonita crushed it. We were so inspired. Feedback has been incredible and we loved her mantra: Focus Not Fret.””

““I am incredibly happy that we chose Bonita to be the guest speaker for the BMW Academy awards, and the clients were equally fascinated and thrilled to have her too. I absolutely recommend her.” ”

““The partner who introduced Bonita said at the end as he was wrapping up that he had never seen such a great talk, and he’s about to retire so will have seen one or two talks in his time! I thought Bonita was going to be good, but she far exceeded my expectations.””

““Bonita was just fantastic. Never had such good feedback on a speaker. Her story is great, relatable, humbly presented, yet super engaging with all the life lessons learned to be applied to our job world without being cheesy. It was just simply superb.””

““Bonita has been a great speaker for the audience. She immersed herself in the topics of the event so that she could tailor her speech and ensure it was relevant for the audience, including some personal details related to our brands. Her speech was fascinating and attention grabbing, and she frequently moved from the description of her experience to “tips” for our business challenges. She was available for Q&A and managed to fit perfectly in the allocated time.””

The feedback we received was incredible—she truly made the evening unforgettable.” ”

Bonita chose to attend the entire morning session to ensure she understood what underpinned our culture, where our challenges lay, and how she could make her talk relevant to us. Her delivery was pitch perfect: engaging, utterly fascinating, but also entirely relatable and devoid of hubris (no mean feat when talking about climbing to the summit of the highest mountain in the world). The audience left the room enthused, inspired, energised, and emboldened; carrying away tangible lessons to translate into their own work, and indeed their personal lives. We cannot thank Bonita enough and would unreservedly endorse and recommend her.””

Whether it’s scaling mountains or navigating change in business, her message was clear: progress happens one step at a time. Thank you, Bonita, for being our inspiration. Your resilience and perspective were a perfect match for this year’s theme—and a powerful reminder that we are, indeed, stronger together.””

““An awesome motivational speech by Bonita Norris. Big takeaways - Focus on your business, your team, your customers, your strategy and be less distracted with the noise. Stay in your lane and do your thing!””

““Bonita Norris is absolutely world-class. Her journey from beginner to the top of Everest in just two years was more than motivational, It was a reminder of what’s possible when we ‘step outside the tent’ and break through the Mountain of the Mind.””

““I’m still thinking about Bonita’s words.
While I probably couldn’t (and wouldn’t) climb Everest myself, the lessons she shared resonated deeply with the everyday challenges we all face at work and in life.””

““This was once again a speaker who exceeded our expectations. You could have heard a pin drop in the meeting room as she told a very inspirational story of her Everest climb. All of our delegates took something from this event either by way of personal or professional development.””

““I’ve had a number of people message how inspiring your session was and that it brought many to tears hearing your journey.””

““As for Bonita, where do we begin! Her talk was engaging, inspiring and also funny. Bonita came across as a very confident speaker while also being personable. We loved how she wove elements of reflection on our own work and teams and provided guidance as to how to be better as leaders and individually. It gave us lots to think about moving forwards as a firm and how to encourage and support better leaders. It certainly all gave us motivation to go out there and try something new, especially if it’s out of our comfort zone!””

““I would like to thank you for your highly inspirational closing keynote of our conference. Our audience was speechless and some people I spoke afterwards were really moved by your experiences. Personally, I also liked the hilarious anecdotes that you used to illustrate your story. I am sure that your mantras (‘Success by Smallness’; ‘Focus, not Fret’; ‘Perspective Changes Everything’; ‘The Power of Support’, and ‘Be Great, Make Others Great’) will resonate with our members and will be talked about for some time.””
