Most companies say they care about culture. Almost none of them build it on purpose. Ciera Parks does.
What does it actually take to create a workplace people don't want to leave? Ciera Parks has made a career out of answering that question, and in this fast-paced conversation she breaks down how culture really gets built and why most leaders get it wrong.
Who she is: Ciera is a culture architect and HR strategist known for transforming workplaces from the inside out and championing people-first leadership.
What she does: She reshapes the employee experience, building cultures where authenticity thrives, innovation takes root, and top talent actually stays.
What she believes: That culture isn't a perk or a poster on the wall. It's built on purpose, and real change means breaking the hidden barriers leaders too often leave untouched.
How she works: With heart, courage, and clarity. Ciera leads from a place of authenticity, helping organizations attract and retain the people who drive them forward.
