What makes a workplace truly great? It’s not ping pong tables, catered lunches, or even your manager.  It’s how people feel when they show up to work each day. In this inspiring and practical keynote, Leslie Wireback shares the surprising truth behind what engages teams, retains top talent, and builds strong cultures: a leadership strategy built on four powerful actions.

Grounded in real-world experience and brought to life through personal stories and humor, Open with Care introduces the 4-Leaf Leadership Framework—Communicate, Connect, Care, and Curiosity. Just like finding a four-leaf clover, great leadership requires slowing down, paying attention, and being open to what most people overlook.

Leaders will leave with a renewed sense of possibility and a human-centered approach that builds trust, encourages growth, and creates lasting impact.

Get ready for a fresh, real-world approach to leadership that cuts through the noise. You’ll explore the power of openness and care as strategic leadership moves.

You’ll walk away ready to:

• Identify the four foundational leadership behaviors that create high-trust, high-engagement cultures

• Explore how openness, presence, and curiosity influence team performance and retention

• Learn how to apply “Communicate, Connect, Care, and Curiosity” as a practical framework for leading with clarity and compassion

• Reflect on your own leadership habits and identify ways to shift from transactional to transformational leadership
