Powerful Stories.
Radical Empathy.
Real Results.

Leilani Garrett’s keynote isn’t just a talk—it’s a turning point. With the perfect balance of storytelling, strategy, and business insight, she inspires audiences to move beyond performative inclusion and into transformational leadership.

Building Collective Success:

EMPATHY. STORYTELLING. & CHANGE.

In a time when workplace connection is at an all-time low and culture-building feels more buzzword than blueprint, Leilani offers something different: a keynote that makes people feel—and think.

Her signature talk, Building Collective Success: Empathy. Storytelling. & Change, challenges audiences to rethink the way we define leadership, performance, and culture. Through personal narrative, pop culture references, humor, and hard data, Leilani shows how story-driven empathy isn't just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a business imperative.

Expect aha moments, audience participation, and a masterclass in communication that sticks long after the standing ovation.

This Isn’t Just Inspiration
—It’s Activation.

Leilani’s keynote is crafted for real-world application.

Here’s what audiences take away:

  • A deeper understanding of how storytelling unlocks empathy and action

  • Data-driven proof that empathy drives performance, engagement, and innovation

  • A memorable five-part S.T.O.R.Y. framework that can be implemented immediately

  • Micro-habits that shift team dynamics and improve culture—no budget required

  • A fresh perspective on what it means to be a human-centered leader

From a boardroom of executives to an auditorium full of emerging leaders, Leilani meets each audience with insight, challenge, and warmth.
