Revealing:
The Underrated Power of Openess
Do you overshare? Do you hold back? Most of us do both. When done wisely, revealing strengthens relationships, boosts wellbeing, and enhances influence. Audiences learn that revealing is a skill—and leave with tools to do it better, tailored to their needs, whether inspiring teams, navigating sensitive conversations, or deepening everyday relationships.
Sample Keynotes
The Transparency Dividend:
How Openness Boosts Trust--and the Bottom Line
In this evidence-packed keynote, Leslie shares research with companies from banks to retailers showing that when firms reveal more—thoughtfully and strategically—customers buy more and stay longer. Through field experiments and memorable cases, including the “Honest Credit Card” study, she shows how transparency signals competence, deepens trust, and drives growth.
The Curiosity Advantage:
Why Questions Beat Persuasion
Great negotiators aren’t forceful—they’re curious. In this mindset-shifting talk, Leslie shows why curiosity is one of the most underrated tool in business and life. Through humor, storytelling, and interactive moments, she demonstrates how leading with inquiry—not persuasion—builds trust, reveals hidden value, and improves outcomes.
