New Orleans, LA
Keynote speaker and talent strategist serving New Orleans, LA
New Orleans brings together diverse industries for some of the most memorable and high-impact leadership conferences in the country. Harry Lakin helps organizations in the Gulf South make better people decisions through behavioral science, emotional intelligence, and evidence-based hiring.
How Harry works with New Orleans organizations
Keynote speaking
Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Hyatt Regency New Orleans, and Marriott New Orleans and corporate events throughout the Gulf South.
The Decision Room
A structured advisory process for New Orleans executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in energy, maritime, healthcare, and hospitality organizations.
Behavioral assessments
Science-backed assessments that help New Orleans hiring teams stop selecting who interviews best and start identifying who will actually perform.
The problem
Most New Orleans organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct
In the Gulf South's energy, maritime, healthcare, and hospitality 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.
