Keynote speaker and talent strategist serving Dallas, TX

How Harry works with Dallas organizations
Keynote speaking
Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Omni Dallas Hotel, and Gaylord Texan and corporate events throughout North Texas.
The Decision Room
A structured advisory process for Dallas executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in finance, technology, energy, and professional services organizations.
Behavioral assessments
Science-backed assessments that help Dallas hiring teams stop selecting who interviews best and start identifying who will actually perform.
The problem
Most Dallas organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct
In North Texas's finance, technology, energy, and professional services sectors, the pressure to fill roles quickly leads to hiring decisions driven by gut feel and interview performance rather than behavioral data. The result: costly mis-hires, disengaged teams, and leadership gaps that compound over time.
"Get your people decisions right. Everything else gets easier."
