Online Customer Care Rep

"I do this for Lucy. I'd do anything for her. Because if my presence doesn't make an impact, my absence won't make a difference".

One hot afternoon in May 2005, Nora walked into her friend Lucy's mother's empty restaurant. There, she found the woman in excruciating pain, sobbing as she rubbed some balm on her sore knees. It was clear her line of work exacerbated her arthritis.

Curious, Nora asked why she stuck with a job that worsened her health. 

"I do this for Lucy. I'd do anything for her. Because if my presence doesn't make an impact, my absence won't make a difference, she said."

Those words hit Nora hard and stayed with her through the years. 'No life is complete unless it impacts another'.

From Quilla Bohannon, who brings joy to kids with hair loss through "Free Wigs 4 Kids", to Nigerian Hydroponic Farmer, Samson Ogbole,  and all the purpose-driven individuals whose stories she has told…these impact stories, they're her jam.

With a background in development communications, feature writing, and digital storytelling, Nora has over 12 years of experience in humanitarian and gender-based issues.

In 2005, for example, she conducted the first-ever project on Female Genital Mutilation for the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Maiduguri. This research yielded vital recommendations and laid the groundwork for development communication efforts in the Zawiya Community.

In 2022, Nora kicked off "Tell Your Brand Story," a 51,000-subscriber-strong newsletter that has empowered professionals and entrepreneurs with the tools to master brand storytelling. 

She’s also the creator of “The 7-Day Personal Branding Email Challenge,” where she's trained 112 entrepreneurs from 7 countries to build stellar brands on LinkedIn.

She is a strong advocate for climate action, a loving wife, and a mom.

Nora is a LinkedIn Top Voice in Storytelling and Social Impact. She has been featured in LA Weekly, InStyle, Insights Success, the Guardian, Vanguard, Daily Trust, and Marketing Edge.

In 2023, she was listed as one of the top 100 Content Creators in Nigeria and #1 in Writing and storytelling by Favikon. 

Nora is committed to empowering organizations, entrepreneurs, and professionals to harness the power of storytelling for sustainable impact, influence, and income.

Nora Agbakhamen

In the throes of a successful career in aerospace I was spurred by a health crisis to pursue a much more personal “organizational change.” 

After being diagnosed with a stroke, I began to see my life not as a problem to solve but a journey to treasure, I started to study under thought leader Deepak Chopra and retired from industry in 2016.

Over time, my life has taken on many roles; I joined the Navy at age 19 to travel the world.  I’ve lived in Switzerland, Iceland, and Turkey, and was stationed on a submarine tender underway.  I am trained as an engineer and applied scientist; I specialize in pattern recognition.

I am a survivor of domestic violence and raised a successful daughter as a single parent.
 
My superpower is Intuitive Mindset coaching which focuses almost exclusively on your inner thoughts, self-beliefs and behavioral patterns to help you uncover what's holding you back and find the motivation to move forward. 

Bringing my 30 years of transformational experiences, I am on a journey to personally lead others on their quest of self-discovery, and my scientific tool of choice is Emergenetics.  A self-assessment profile tool based on psychology, social analytics, and brain science.

My work starts with the soundtrack of your childhood because that is what creates the narrative of your life. In simple terms it is how to harness your personal power. 

Our world is experiencing a spiritual awakening, and each day we wake up to new realities. Who am I is a soul question, not a resume answer and that took me 50 years to learn.  I work with clients creating breakthroughs to unlock their personal power and awaken their inner wisdom.

Why wait till you’re diagnosed with a stroke, or cancer, or you lose your job?
  
I give you the tools to help you uncover what is holding you back from living the life you were meant to live and facilitate a personal discovery of greatness. Step into your personal power today.

If this resonates with you, then reach out, I just may be the help you need!

A great first step is listening to my current book, The Labyrinth Influence Awaken the Wisdom Within 
https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Labyrinth-Influence-Audiobook/B08TF7WCLD

Clients include global companies, many with over 100,000 employees: United States Navy, Lockheed Martin, France Energy, AT&T, World Bank, Defense Acquisition University, National Contract Management Association, and the Society of Women Engineers.

Let go to grow! Tonight our skies hold the last full moon of 2025. 

The Cold Supermoon rising in Gemini, opposite the Sun in Sagittarius, a perfect cosmic punctuation mark for this year.  

This moon calls on us to release what has brought us here, the laughter and the tears, the clarity and the confusion.

Gemini invites us to speak our truths. To sift through the inner monologue we’ve carried all year, and ask: 

❄️ Which stories have served me? 

❄️ Which ones weigh me down? 

Sagittarius light asks us to lift our gaze beyond the immediate, to sense possibility, meaning, and the horizon of 2026.  

Let this night be a ritual of letting go of regrets, burdens, unmet expectations and of closing the chapter on this year with gratitude and tenderness.

Then, take a deep breath. 

With the world in darkness and moonlight’s gentle glow, choose a new story for yourself. 

✨One of courage. 

✨One of love. 

✨One that honours all you’ve been, and all you are becoming.

Here’s to stepping into what’s next with open hands and a brave heart. 💫

Celebrating 28 years ✨
Sometimes it feels like a lifetime… and sometimes it feels like I just blinked and suddenly we were here

still choosing each other, 
still standing side-by-side, 
still finding new reasons to be grateful.

✴️ We’ve walked through storms that could have broken us.

✴️ We’ve stared down leukemia twice.

✴️ We’ve met fear, brushed up against the edge more times than I can count… and every single time, love carried us through.

And we’ve also lived the kind of joy that makes the heart stretch wide open

❇️ welcoming grandchildren 
❇️ and great-grandchildren, 
❇️ traveling, exploring, 
❇️ learning, and becoming. 

Each moment adding another layer to who we are together.

✨ This morning, the sky showed up in soft pinks and pale blues, light spilling over the mountains like a quiet blessing. 

It reminded me that even after the darkest nights, beauty always returns. 

✨ Hope always rises. 

✨ Love always finds a way to renew itself.

🧡 After 28 years, my heart is simply full.

Life is grand.
And I am endlessly grateful for us, for this sacred journey we’ve built and rebuilt, hand in hand.

🧡 Here’s to love that endures.

Here’s to the next chapter.

From Sky to Soul: Neptune Goes Direct — A Time for Reflection

This morning, the sky reflected back to me something deeper than clouds or light — a moment of cosmic and personal rebirth.

My astronomical guide tells us that Neptune has gone direct in Pisces — the end of a cycle that began many years ago.   

For me, this moment carries extra meaning. It’s the same orbit of time that brought life-changing challenges, my stroke in 2012, and today I find myself standing on different ground.

Neptune direct signals clarity rising from fog, dreams transforming into vision, intuition meeting purpose.  

As I look out over my pond this morning — the sky mirrored in still water — I feel called to honor what has been, and to step into what’s coming.

Many of you know I have been painting in private for years, some might say in “the shadows”. 

As we look to 2026 what do we want to create?  As Founders this is a pivotal moment in each of our journeys. 

If we’ve lived through the shadows, Neptune direct invites us to let light in.
If we’ve held on too tight, this is the moment to release.

If we’ve waited for clarity — trust that the veil is lifting.

If you are a Founder looking for clarity join us for our LIVE event entitled “How to become an unbreakable founder in a world of constant uncertainty.” 

https://lnkd.in/eWAcB54G

For me, in 2026 I will begin “Conscious Vibrations” — a new painting series titled Reflections on Becoming

This series is born from mystery and healing, from surrender and soul-work, from seeing clearly what once felt blurred. 

This idea was born in the red rocks of Sedona and now today’s photo inspired me to begin in my backyard.  

Each piece will hold a quiet invitation to reflect — in the waters, in the skies, in ourselves.  

Here’s to new Founder’s horizons, in spirit and in passion!
