Chief Curiosity Officer,
The Leadership Experts
Nora Burns is anything but ordinary. As the founder and Chief Curiosity Officer of The Leadership Experts, she’s redefined what it means to understand workplace culture from the inside out. A former Fortune 200 executive, Nora has led teams through complex challenges, transforming companies from the boardroom to the front lines. She didn’t just study leadership—she lived it, navigating the dynamics of blue, white, and pink-collar employees with an unrivaled knack for creating thriving teams. But Nora’s true game-changer? The Undercover Project™. She went incognito, applying for over 350 jobs and working frontline roles at Fortune 500 companies as The Undercover Employee™. Nora didn’t rely on titles or boardroom credentials—she got down in the trenches to experience firsthand what employees really think about hiring, culture, and retention. She’s heard the raw, unfiltered truth that frontline workers won’t tell their managers. Now, Nora is on a mission to help organizations connect the dots—bridging the gap between leadership strategies and real-world employee experiences. If you want to attract top talent, build a thriving workplace culture, and retain the right people, Nora’s your secret weapon.
