Grant's Bio

Grant Harris, MBA, CDE®, speaks to HR, L&D, ERG/BRG, audiences about Human-Centered Performance: how to stop misreading talent by identifying the workplace friction underneath performance, communication, and inclusion challenges. A globally recognized keynote speaker and human-centered performance strategist, Grant shows HR leaders, managers, and executive teams how capable talent gets misread when work is unclear, inconsistent, or built around one traditional way of thinking. His work starts where many workplace conversations stop. Grant’s Human-Centered Performance approach helps leaders see what is actually breaking down: the person, the process, or the conditions around the work. His sessions move neuroinclusion out of the awareness lane and into the performance conversation, where leaders can examine how work design affects performance. His core message is simple: Fix your process, not your people. For speaking engagements: [email protected]
