Hello NFC Clients and Friends!
It has been a minute, as the kids say. Despite retiring from a 31-year teaching career in Durham Public Schools (06/2025), Norman Financial Coaching has gone dormant because my retirement didn't quite stick. Since January 1, I have been fully immersed in developing content and providing individual support to educators for the re-imagined Take10TM for Financial Fitness initiative.

The opportunity to scale up the knee-to-knee efforts of NFC by developing content, resources, and a community-based support system for Durham and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City schools is a true passion project for me. I am fortunate to work with a talented team, and we are eager to make a significant impact, aided by many of you who are already engaged as Take10TM Ambassadors and participants.
What is Take10TM? Take10TM (minutes) for Financial Fitness is designed to transform financial anxiety into confidence through a simple, engaging coaching experience tailored specifically for educators and staff. Take10TM supports the people who support students. By strengthening the value of the existing district benefits, we provide a starting point that feels personal, practical, and sustainable. Our goal is to help educators feel more secure, supported, and empowered today even as they prepare for a successful work-optional (early) retirement.
How to Get Involved?
