the Floor)
but if you are visiting the Pacific Northwest or if you are a native on the look out for something new something old and something guaranteed to entertain you’ll find her at concerts, festivals and city gathering.

Hailed as the “finest storyteller in Seattle” by the Stranger Newspaper, Auntmama’s blend of southern humor with a northwest twist is popular with audiences of all ages and
background. Auntmama has performed with break dancers, jazz and Americana musicians and is currently working on a new show blending stories with music from around the world. Her latest radio offering Rain City Tales and Tunes will be released in 2012.

But it was as a management consultant that she found her voice and honed her style. Founder of Gamma Vision Inc. and BIOSS USA, Moorman has traveled the world telling stories about leadership practices, customer service and employee development.

“She’s the finest keynoter we ever had,” said,  Bernie Reznicek former CEO of Boston Edison. The utility executive believes her humor and ability to translate complexity into a simple message has led to success.

Businesses are bringing Moorman back in to teach managers how to tell the company story to customers, shareholders and employees alike. She says organizations that convey an authentic story to all stakeholders build a lasting future. “It’s a shared belief and that’s often what keeps companies going through the hard patches,” she says.
