The Cost of Culture: Business Summit 2026

What would you learn about leadership if you stepped into the front-line experience—mopping floors, stocking shelves, or delivering orders yourself?

Northeast Iowa Community College's Business Summit features Nora Burns, The Undercover Employee™, who spent 15 months working undercover to understand what truly shapes workplace culture. Her keynote explores the four ECHOs of leadership: Experience, Communication, Humanization, and Own It—and how they strengthen teams, reduce turnover, and align culture across an organization.
