Seattle, WA
Keynote speaker and talent strategist serving Seattle, WA
Seattle's data-driven culture means leaders expect evidence-based frameworks, not motivational platitudes. Harry Lakin helps organizations in the Pacific Northwest make better people decisions through behavioral science, emotional intelligence, and evidence-based hiring.
How Harry works with Seattle organizations
Keynote speaking
Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the Washington State Convention Center, Hyatt Regency Seattle, and Sheraton Grand Seattle and corporate events throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The Decision Room
A structured advisory process for Seattle executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in technology, aerospace, retail, and maritime industries organizations.
Behavioral assessments
Science-backed assessments that help Seattle hiring teams stop selecting who interviews best and start identifying who will actually perform.
The problem
Most Seattle organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct
In the Pacific Northwest's technology, aerospace, retail, and maritime industries 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."
