Nancy Lauterbach

FIVE STAR Speakers & Trainers was founded in my living room in May of 1988.  I had left a full time job at a training company to work from home and be near my kids.  Within a year, though, I had too many employees to stay in the house.  Within three years, my husband, Bill, sold his real estate company and joined forces with me.  Together we ran FIVE STAR until 2005 when we sold the company to Paul Schmidt and Steve Gardner.  I am now back to what I love most:  working with clients and speakers. 
 
I hope they love working with me, too.  My years in the business have given me the opportunity to view over 500 speakers live.  I make my recommendations based on knowledge gained from first hand experience.  My goal is to help my clients find the best possible person for each situation who fits their culture and who will them meet their goals.  I am always responsive and take immediate action when my clients need it and  I do not "bug them" when they don't.   
 
In addition to running FIVE STAR and working with clients , I was president of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus in 2001 - 2003.  I also served that organization as it's Ethic Chair and was awarded the only two awards given out in our industry - The John Palmer Award of Excellence and the Dotty Walters Helping Hand Award.  
 
I look forward to many more great years at FIVE STAR!

When you were a kid, what did you want to do when you grew up? I wanted to be a famous singer when I was in grade school. I wanted to be an airline stewardess when I was in Junior High School.   

What is your favorite television show? I like anything on the Lifetime Channel. I also like the 20/20, 60 Minute type shows.

What is your favorite thing to do on the weekend? Putter around the house during the day. Go to a movie at night.

If you could be any animal which would it be? My dogs!   

Your office is on fire, what do you rescue? If office means the whole company, I would first rescue anyone in danger. If you are referring to my individual office, I would rescue my purse and my computer.
