Since 1995, Deborah Norville has been the anchor of Inside Edition, the longest running syndicated news magazine program, which covers hard news as well as crime and human interest stories. As a keynote speaker, Norville openly discusses the ups and downs of her career and how she built a purposeful life as a reporter, craft enthusiast, and mother through practicing gratitude and respect.
Driven by her passion for storytelling, Norville was regarded as a rising star in broadcast journalism during the 1980s. She was a correspondent for CBS News and an anchor for Street Stories, 48 Hours, and the CBS Evening News program. Prior to the birth of her first son, she co-hosted NBC’s Today and was anchor of NBC’s News at Sunrise.
She has anchored the top-rated news program Inside Edition for over 20 years, making her the longest-serving female anchor on national television. Her hands-on reporting has taken her inside the Davidson County, NC jail – the “toughest” jail in the country – where she lived behind bars to give viewers the real scoop on life inside America’s prison system. Another Inside Edition assignment had Norville writing and recording a song and music video as part of an exploration of the American music industry. Norville also made headlines in 1998 when she snagged the first interview with Paula Jones after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke.
Norville is a bestselling author of several books, including the motivational memoir Thank You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Work for You, plus two children’s books, I Don’t Want To Sleep Tonight and I Can Fly. Since 2009 she has partnered with Premier® Yarns, one of the largest yarn distributors in the United States to bring the The Deborah Norville Collection to lifelong knitters like herself.
Two-time Emmy© Award winner Deborah Norville is anchor of INSIDE EDITION, the country’s top-rated and most honored syndicated newsmagazine. Ratings jumped 15 percent the week Norville joined the program and have remained strong ever since. Under her leadership, the show has consistently ranked in the top 10 television shows in first-run syndication. INSIDE EDITION reaches a daily audience of just under 4.2 million viewers.
The veteran journalist joined INSIDE EDITION in 1995 from CBS News where she was anchor and correspondent. Norville is the former co-host of NBC’s “Today” and anchor of NBC “News at Sunrise.” She has hosted the primetime “Deborah Norville Tonight” on MSNBC and the national “The Deborah Norville Show” on the ABC Talk Radio Network and been a reporter and anchor for WMAQ-TV in Chicago. Deborah began her career at WAGA-TV in Atlanta, while still a student at the University of Georgia, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated summa cum laude, 4.0, First Honor Graduate.
Norville is also a best-selling author and lecturer. Her book, Thank You Power: Making the SCIENCE of Gratitude Work for YOU (2007, Thomas Nelson), detailing the connection between gratitude and enhanced cognitive function and energy, was a New York Times best-seller as well as a best-seller in South Korea. She is also a contributor to the popular “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, and the author of several other self-help books as well as two best-selling children’s books and a number of books featuring knit and crochet patterns.
A lifelong crafter and seamstress, Norville is the creative force behind the Deborah Norville Yarn Collection, a line of high-quality knit and crochet yarn found in top craft stores. The product has enjoyed exponential growth since its launch in 2009 and sold its sixth millionth skein of yarn in Spring 2014. The line has grown to include knitting needles and crochet hooks.
Norville is a member of the Board of Directors for the Viacom Corporation and serves on the Compensation Committee. She serves as the Director for the Broadcasters Foundation of America and is a past board member of the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York, the Women’s Committee of Central Park, and the Rita Hayworth (Alzheimer’s) Steering Committee. Married, and the mother of three.
Deborah Norville reveals how a low point in her career taught her to build resiliency. In 1990 Norville was chosen to replace NBC TODAY anchor and fan favorite, Jane Pauley, who was stepping done. The transition was abrupt; both outside media and the public buzzed with theories that NBC had purposely pushed Pauley out to make room for the younger Norville, who many mainstream print headlines referred to as “the other woman.”
Left in an uncomfortable position, Norville eventually resigned and stepped out of the spotlight so that she could rebuild her career and sense of self – a journey that led her through loads of psychological research. “I’m fascinated by the power of how we all frame the challenges in our live and the mindset we bring to them and how that can help us get through them,” Norville says.
Long-time anchor of one of the country’s most highly regarded news shows, Deborah Norville is a professional storyteller who is passionate about sharing the lessons she has learned throughout her high profile career along with the personal qualities that have made that career possible. Respect and gratitude are common themes throughout her presentations. Norville shows how practicing both have been scientifically linked to higher levels of productivity, creativity, and increased personal and professional achievement. The Emmy-award winning reporter goes a step further, giving you concrete examples of how you can incorporate respect and gratitude into your personal life and workplace on a daily basis.
Can "respect" really make a difference in today′s fast-paced world or is it just a quaint-throw back to a less complicated time? Based on her new ground-breaking book, Norville shares with audiences the compelling evidence that adding an element of respect results in measurable, meaningful benefits in almost every area of life. Using peer-reviewed academic literature, Norville discusses:
Thank You Power: The Power of Gratitude Thank You Power is the extraordinary force that comes simply from acknowledging the “good things” in life.
