Dr. Harrison helps professionals achieve lasting transformation in life, career, health, and relationships by translating behavioral science into practical strategies anyone can use. Real-world experience meets evidence-based effectiveness.

I don't look like a Ph.D., and I don't speak like one either. I grew up in rough neighborhood. I learned to read behavior for survival, and I turned that skill into a superpower. I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in applied behavioral analysis, taught at every level from elementary school to graduate programs, published my research in flagship journals, coached varsity football, and delivered 30+ keynotes across industries worldwide putting what I learned to work.


I've been through it, I've studied it, I've applied it to my own life, and I've seen it work for thousands of others. I translate the science into strategies anyone can use. I don’t do guru hype. I engage my audience with stories, humor, and practical, evidence-based actions they can put to work today to create real change.


There is an elegance in simplicity, yet we tend to overcomplicate and over think. I come from challenge, resilience, empathy, and transformation. I blend my own life experience, academic study, and research, to deliver behavior science-backed authentic, down-to-earth insight and guidance that helps people of all walks of life grow into their true potential.

Why Wellness Programs Don't Work (and What Will)

Organizations pour money into wellness initiatives while burnout rates climb. The problem isn't the people. It's the systems. Learn what behavioral science reveals about what drives sustainable wellbeing and performance and get immediate strategies to implement immediately.

Leadership Behavior: The Hidden Driver of Culture

Your culture isn't defined by your values statement. It's defined by what your leaders do every day. Discover which leadership behaviors create accountability and psychological safety, and which ones quietly disrupt both. Leave with a framework for immediate application.
