Grant's Bio
Grant Harris, MBA, CDE®, is a Human-Centered Performance speaker and consultant who helps people leaders stop losing time, talent, and value by fixing workplace friction before capable people get misread as performance problems. 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]

Audience & Client Feedback on Grant
1 / 12
Useful. Pushed me to think about my biases, but was subtle about it. :) A little too fast-paced for me to process what was asked of me & would have preferred to have this training be “all day” instead. There was plenty there & I enjoyed his general style of teaching. (see talk report)
Attendee
Grant shows up like a breath of fresh air. His presentation at Disrupt HR was on point, easy to follow and inspiring. Grant showed how we can look, evaluate and expect differently during the hiring process -- to allow for normal behavior versus a performance. (see talk report)
Shoshanna Richek
Very real, engaging, informative, and encouraging training. I encourage DHR to bring Grant back for future training sessions. Maybe consider an interview panel training whereby Grant can provide do's and dont's. I appreciate his honesty and relatability. (see talk report)
Attendee
Grant was very well-spoken and intentional in his word use, making sure each word had the maximum value possible. The talk was also very relevant to the HR world, particularly when it comes to the use of personality tests/culture fits. (see talk report)
Cooper Norman
This was a great session that helped reinforce that we should be continuing to ask questions, inviting feedback, and looking for new perspectives. My differences can be an asset when they are fostered and not stifled! (see talk report)
Attendee
Grant’s session was deeply inspiring, relevant and perfectly delivered. As the first speaker of the night, he set the bar extremely high. While it shouldn’t be the case, his content was bold and needed to be heard. (see talk report)
Attendee
I learned more about how Neurodiversity works than I knew before. Additionally the way Grant applied it to the process and how it can impact the corporate landscape was very insightful. (see talk report)
Martin Pratt
This was a surprisingly deep dive into how certain work environments can create friction for neurodivergent talent, especially those with autism. The session was affirming and practical! (see talk report)
Sarah
Grant had a vast amount of knowledge and lived experience in workplace environments. He is thoughtful about his answers which show depth of his knowledge, and his stories are relevant. (see talk report)
