How Harry works with Santa Fe organizations

Keynote speaking

Engaging keynotes on emotional intelligence in the age of AI and multi-generational communication, for organizations that host events at the Santa Fe Convention Center, La Fonda on the Plaza, and Eldorado Hotel and corporate events throughout the Southwest.

The Decision Room

A structured advisory process for Santa Fe executives navigating high-stakes hiring, team restructuring, or leadership transitions in government, arts, healthcare, and tourism organizations.

Behavioral assessments

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

The problem

Most Santa Fe organizations are making their most consequential decisions on instinct

In the Southwest's government, arts, healthcare, and tourism 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.

Why Santa Fe organizations bring Harry in

Santa Fe's intimate executive retreat culture is ideal for deep-dive leadership development and strategic offsites. Harry works specifically with leaders in government, arts, healthcare, and tourism — sectors where a wrong hire at the senior level is expensive, visible, and hard to undo.

Whether the engagement is a keynote at the Santa Fe Convention Center, La Fonda on the Plaza, and Eldorado Hotel, 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.
