How Harry works with Los Angeles organizations

Keynote speaking

Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the Los Angeles Convention Center, JW Marriott LA Live, and Loews Hollywood Hotel and corporate events throughout Southern California.

The Decision Room

A structured advisory process for Los Angeles executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in entertainment, technology, healthcare, and real estate organizations.

Behavioral assessments

Science-backed assessments that help Los Angeles hiring teams stop selecting who interviews best and start identifying who will actually perform.

The problem

Most Los Angeles organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct

In Southern California's entertainment, technology, healthcare, and real estate 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.
