Nora Burns

Workplace Culture and Retention Strategist

Time Clocks and Name Badges: Bringing ERGs to the Frontline

Time clocks and name badges represent more than tools of the job… they symbolize a segment of the workforce often overlooked in ERG strategy. In this interactive session, Nora Burns draws on her undercover experience in hourly roles to reveal the hidden barriers that keep deskless employees on the outside of ERGs, and challenges leaders to imagine strategies with customer-facing and off-shift audiences in mind.

Rebecca Murray

Incoming President of the National Speakers Association Northwest

Own the Room (Even on Zoom): Vocal Influence for ERG Leaders

The human voice serves as a primary instrument of professional influence and authority. As a champion of Vocal Equity, Rebecca P. Murray, is the incoming President of the National Speakers Association Northwest and founder of Showcase Your Shine. In this session, she will blend theater, the social science of language, and applied behavior science to help attendees communicate with clarity, presence and vocal influence.
