“We were in need of a keynote speaker for an end-of-year academic banquet. Our presentation was designed to celebrate, support, and motivate students in our Heritage and Legacy programs (academic success and college preparation support for our scholars from African-American and English Learner communities). Mr. Coulter created an exceptional package for us, complete with his spoken message, visuals, engaging activities for participants, keepsakes for the entire audience, and a meet-and-greet book signing and individual Q&A session after the banquet. Mr. Coulter transformed our event into a culminating event that we will continue for years to come, and we are excited to invite him back to speak at our student leadership conference in the next school year.”

“I know him as a person with great expertise and deep knowledge in coaching and mentoring solutions. Norman Coulter Jr. is a well-educated, wise, and innovative consultant with a very strong dedication to work. Is able to motivate your team to unlock their sometimes hidden potential, and is always very proactive and driven.”

Joshua Swodeck, Arts Advocate & Cultural Visionary

“As another Black Indigenous Person of color ( BIPOC) I found Mr. Norman Coulter’s story very impactful and transcendent as he was able to connect to a multitude of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Mr. Coulter was able to provide a clear outline of the upbringing he had encountered as a youth, the challenges he faced ( racial, political, & socioeconomic), how he analyzed the issues he encountered and was able to supersede these to become a successful community member who continues to give back. His passion and dedication to assisting those students in Legacy & Heritage were heartwarming. Mr. Coulter is a true change agent who is passionate about creating meaningful impact on individual students.”

Diana DeCastro, Parent

“Mr. Coulter is an incredibly powerful and moving speaker, and he is exceptionally skilled at sharing his unique personal experiences while simultaneously connecting with others from completely different backgrounds and walks of life. Mr. Coulter thoughtfully crafted his presentation to engage students, parents, and staff members and inspire self-reflection, understanding, and motivation to succeed and positively impact society. He spoke from the heart, made genuine connections with our community by trusting us with his story, and demonstrated a perfect balance of empathy and firm support that our audience needed in order to understand that they are both deserving and capable of greatness. I’m a first-generation college graduate and a Japanese-American, and I walked away with an invaluable and deeper understanding of who I am, where I’ve been, and where I’m going in life after spending just 15 minutes listening to Mr. Coulter.”
