What Audiences Say. . .

Bette is a delight to listen to and a bundle of energy. One moment you are laughing and the next you are intently listening, as she brings home a point. The women at Chapel Hill loved her. . . Sandy Jasper, Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church, Gig Harbor, Washington

Bette is energetic, observant, and fun loving. Through her abundant use of scripture and personal testimony we were encouraged to trust our God in the every day life.
. . . Jean Britt, Pastor’s wife, Bible Chapel, Auburn, Washington

Bette captivates an audience. Her enthusiasm and wit are delightful. I, for one, want to catch her every word. A true joy!

Bette she draws you in and you are hanging on what comes next.

Bette Nordberg pursues life with fervency. Her well-developed skills as a writer, physical therapist, cellist, pianist, tennis player, watercolor artist  and bicyclist reveal her daily pursuit of excellence. Yet her God-given gift of teaching outshines even those accomplishments -- because her speaking reveals godly wisdom. Listen to her for half an hour and you will laugh, cry and leave determined to serve God on a deeper level.
. . . Jeannie St. John Taylor, Portland, Oregon

Bette possesses excellent audience report...A great writer doesn’t always guarantee a great speaker and Bette is both.
. . . Pamala Vincent, Eagle Creek, Oregon (Oregon Christian Writers)

My daughter and I enjoyed the enthusiastic lectures Bette gave while we attended the fall 2010 Upper Kittitas County Women's retreat.  We bought some of her books and also studied the Jeremiah Bible study written by Bette Nordberg.  Bette knows how to connect the word of God to others through her experiences and faith. . . Carol T (Cle Elum, Washington)   

Bette taught the women of our community about "soul-links".  We all need the support of our friends. Bette became such a "friend" to us all. We enjoyed her wonderful wit and heartfelt stories.  I'd recommend her for any women's retreat you may have coming up. I love all of her fiction books - such timely issues for our changing world. Thanks Bette for showing each of us how to love our friends. . .Dee McCuen  (Cle Elum, WA)

Bette Nordberg has the ability to take difficult subject matter and make it relevant to today's culture. Her ability to absorb material and make it fun and engaging is encouraging and enlightening. She mixes humor with everyday struggles and applies God's Word in a fresh way to make it applicable to your own life. . . Mary Beth Dust

I am completely undone by the annointed words of your book, A Season of Grace. It showed me how judgmental I was towards people, in every aspect of life. . . I wept as I repented for all the judgemental words and thoughts I had said and thought toward others. . .Living in his awesome grace, Kim.

In 2008, I asked Bette to be the main speaker at our women's 2-day retreat. She came very organized and prepared to help us dig deep into the Bible. Bette brings a high degree of energy to her speaking. Several women remarked how she also took extra time to speak to, and counsel them individually. I highly recommend her as a speaker.

Welcome!

If you've discovered this web site, chances are you're in the midst of planning a special event. You've got a lot of responsibilities on your plate:

• Venue
• Food
• Theme
• Invitations/ Publicity
• Finances
• Speaker

Of course you want everything to go smoothly. You want people to have a good time, to enjoy the event and one another. But more than that, you want your audience to go away changed. You want more than just another gathering, another testimony, another indulgent weekend. If you're being completely honest, you want something supernatural to happen, something bigger than the sum of its parts. Whether you are training writers, inspiring new moms, encouraging women, or bringing an important message to a large audience, you want that perfect someone to inspire your group. And right this minute, you're wondering how can I find a speaker who can deliver that? Let me help you:

Ask Great Questions:

Great planning goes a long way toward ensuring a successful event. You'll find lots of tips on these pages. But more importantly, you want a speaker who matches your audience's expectations. Here are some questions you should ask when considering a speaker:

• Can she mold her presentation to the unique needs of your group?
• Does she consider demographics, age, maturity, faith background, responsiveness?
• How much real-time experience does she have behind the podium?
• Can she gracefully handle the difficult or awkward questions your audience will pose?
• Can she cry with those who hurt?
• Does she bring a great sense of humor? Can she tell a good story?
• Does she truly care about people?
• (Or does she simply want to sell her products at your event?)
• If necessary, can her message resonate with audiences of all ages?

My hope is that this website will help you find the perfect speaker for your event. Of course, I'd love to be your first choice! I bring 30 years teaching experience, deep compassion, laugh-out-loud humor, years of wisdom, lots of life experience, and twenty years of writing/publishing to every event. With more than 35 years of marriage, (yes, to the same man!) and four adult children, I've been through lots of life. A born communicator, (not every author is, you know) I'm determined to see old things in new ways, to cut through entrenched thought patterns in order to bring a fresh perspective. I'd love to help your group move on to new heights. Let me help you create the event of your dreams.
