Nora Burns – Keynote Speaker | Workplace Culture Researcher | Emcee

​

A former meeting planner turned keynote speaker, Nora Burns knows what it takes to engage an audience, deliver meaningful content, and create an unforgettable experience. With a deep understanding of what meeting professionals need—and what audiences love—she brings an interactive, research-backed approach to the stage.

​

As a former HR executive, and founder of The Undercover Project™, Nora knows people.

 

The Undercover Project™, involves independent, innovative, and proprietary research into the hiring and employment practices. 

 

This was no small feat; as The Undercover Candidate™ Nora went on over 350 interviews across the country. As The Undercover Employee™, she invested fifteen months working on the front lines of Fortune 500 organizations.  These organizations did not know her as a former executive and expert in leadership and workplace culture. They saw her as one in a long line of polyester-uniform wearing employees.

  

Frontline employees may not be speaking candidly with their managers about why they stay and why they go, what works, and what doesn't, but they will tell colleagues.  They confided in Nora and continue to do so today.​

​ 

Nora understands the boardroom and the breakroom.  Let her help you connect the dots between the two. 

​

When she’s not on stage, or organizing a speaker showcase for MIC-CO, you’ll find Nora traveling, researching workplace dynamics, or spending time with her ever-loyal four-legged sidekick, Whiskey Girl, who is a Therapy Assistance Dog who visits (with Nora) hospitals, schools, and conferences…and is also a canine blood donor.
