Julie Ziglar Norman shared the Get Motivated platform with her legendary father, motivational icon Zig Ziglar, for several years before becoming the dynamic, disarming and refreshingly transparent motivational speaker and author she is today. She is comfortable speaking to a small group of 25 or a venue of 25,000. Her unique experience of being raised by the motivators’ motivator has given her a perspective on life and work that keeps her audiences laughing, crying and taking notes.
Carrying her father’s legacy of encouragement into the next generation is an honor and a privilege that Julie never expected or sought, but her willingness to accept the challenge is inspiring audiences in America and abroad. Her vibrant style of delivery, her honest and transparent assessment of life, and her willingness to share intimate details of personal failures, as well as personal triumphs, has made her a popular crowd favorite.
As her famous father once did, Julie has shared the platform with greats like General Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani, President George W. Bush, Laura Bush, Dr. Robert Schuller, Howard Putnam, Terry Bradshaw, Lou Holtz, Steve Forbes, Sarah Palin, Goldie Hawn, Bill Cosby and many others.
Julie has been her father’s editor for almost 20 years and is a winner of the coveted Guideposts Writers Workshop contest. Her background in sales, business management, and the service industry, as well as her experience as a wife, mother, step-parent and grandmother, enable her to relate well to just about everyone!
Julie lives in the sleepy little town of Alvord, Texas, with her beloved husband of 28 years, Jim Norman. They have four children and twelve grandchildren.
Julie is a past president of the Texas Herpetological Society, a winner of the Guideposts Writers Workshop Contest, and the 2009 recipient of the Journey of Sisters, Honorary Sister Award. She is the proud mother of one son and three daughters who have blessed her with twelve incredible grandchildren.
When You Know You Know

Your Best is Good Enough
Zig Ziglar, the icon of motivational speaking, did not allow negative words to be used by his children. They woke up to an “opportunity clock,” they had “strong ends,” not weekends, and though they had many “warms,” they never had a cold. Even that seemingly small early influence greatly impacted how Julie Ziglar Norman relates to everything. Her father taught her that it’s the little things that add up to make the bigger picture of who a person truly is.
Julie is an entertaining speaker who teaches serious concepts in a format everyone enjoys. The stories of her relationship with her father, the principles he taught her, how they worked when she applied them and how she failed when she didn’t, touch audiences at a level that inspires positive change in their lives. She motivates individuals to be the right kind of person, so that they can do what they need to do to achieve and maintain the kind of success they want in their lives.
Mastering Moxie is a talk Julie customizes to fit the needs of any company, special interest group or organization. The stories she tells about her father and growing up in the Ziglar family revolve around honesty, compassion, focus, taking action, integrity, hope, confidence, faith, motivation, inspiration, work ethic, forgiveness, humor, love, family and more. After an in-depth discussion with Julie, the content she will present is selected based on what you feel will best fit the needs of your group.
