Houston, TX
Keynote speaker and talent strategist serving Houston, TX
Houston's global workforce demands leaders who can navigate cultural complexity and high-stakes decisions. Harry Lakin helps organizations in the Gulf Coast make better people decisions through behavioral science, emotional intelligence, and evidence-based hiring.
How Harry works with Houston organizations
Keynote speaking
Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Marriott Marquis Houston, and Hilton Americas and corporate events throughout the Gulf Coast.
The Decision Room
A structured advisory process for Houston executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in energy, petrochemical, healthcare, and aerospace organizations.
Behavioral assessments
Science-backed assessments that help Houston hiring teams stop selecting who interviews best and start identifying who will actually perform.
The problem
Most Houston organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct
In the Gulf Coast's energy, petrochemical, healthcare, and aerospace sectors, the pressure to fill roles fast pushes organizations toward hiring decisions based on interview performance rather than behavioral evidence. The result is predictable: wrong hires, disengaged teams, and leadership gaps that cost real money to fix.

Whether the engagement is a keynote at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Marriott Marquis Houston, and Hilton Americas, a half-day workshop for a leadership team, or a Decision Room advisory process for a C-suite hire, the work is the same: bring rigor to the decisions that matter most.
