Inspiration: How I fell in love with SPACE
Norah first fell in love with SPACE at the age of 11 during a family visit to Cleveland where she got to visit NASA.  In this talk, Norah draws on her lifelong personal journey to get to space, encouraging and motivating others to shoot for the stars and to make a start, however small at first, on realising their dreams. 

Performance: No one reaches Space in a day
There are huge lessons to be taken from the approach and resilience exercised by any Space team. In this inspirational talk Norah shares the importance of: Taking Small Steps – Analysing and measuring results and mistakes – Learning from mistakes – Working collectively – Keeping an eye on the bigger picture – Celebrating the Wins. This talk is ideal for anyone wanting to motivate and help their team performance and mindset. 

Education: Kids in STEAM
Having realised her dream so young because she was lucky enough to visit NASA, Norah recognises the positive and enduring influence of teachers, family and mentors on her quest to reach space.

Norah is an advocate of educating and inspiring young people about space from a young age and on through their teens and beyond. As part of her journey she has written the award-winning book Shooting for the Stars and also created Planet Zebunar to inspire the next generation of engineers, astronauts, scientists and innovators. This talk is ideal if you’re organising a family day, developing content for youth or want to inspire young people to follow their dreams.  

Diversity: Women in STEAM
As a woman in STEAM, Norah talks about the advances and challenges in the area and how we as parents, friends, teams can do better to support more women in STEAM. It is not just about gender parity; we need more women in STEAM roles if we are to make scientific innovations useful. How relevant can innovations really be if they do not even take into consideration the needs of half the population?
