From Friction to Flow with Grant Harris

Tough Love Thursday! A message you may not want to hear, but need to. From Friction to Flow with Grant Harris Buckle up, this is not the conversation you might think it is. Today’s guest, Grant Harris, is a globally recognized neuroinclusive performance strategist and speaker who shifts organizations from friction to flow by fixing their process, not their people, so they can save time, keep talent, and deliver value by redesigning how work gets done at scale.  Grant’s work starts with a simple truth: most performance challenges aren’t people problems; they’re process problems. Through a human-centered performance lens, he shows how everyday systems, meetings, roles, decision-making, and expectations either enable execution or quietly undermine it. As a late-diagnosed autistic person, author, introvert, and certified diversity executive, Grant brings both lived experience and enterprise-level rigor to his work with clients. He translates complex ideas about human cognition into clear, execution-ready insights leaders can apply immediately without turning the conversation into advocacy or awareness training.  Grant is the founder and president of GTH Consulting, a minority- and disability-owned consultancy working within complex organizations. His experience spans federal agencies, higher education, global enterprises, and nonprofit systems where execution, accountability, and scale matter. His approach is known for being clear, grounded, and immediately actionable so organizations improve processes and performance.  Selected clients include The Washington Post, the Federal Railroad Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Loudoun County Government, Leadership Snohomish County, ASICS, and First Place Arizona. Grant holds a BA in Psychology, an MBA in Organizational Psychology & Development, and a post-master’s certificate in Educational Leadership & Administration.  Learn more: https://linktr.ee/GTH_Consulting [https://linktr.ee/GTH_Consulting] and access his FREE Process Before People Scorecard, a short 7 question checklist for workplace leaders and managers. Discover how embracing neurodiversity — including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences — can strengthen and grow your business. This training provides practical strategies, expert tips, and best practices to recognize and optimize the unique talents of neurodistinct employees. Learn how to reduce stigma, recruit inclusively, and build a culture that supports neurodiverse teams.  Through lived experiences and actionable tools, you’ll see the proven business impact of neuro-inclusion — from higher employee engagement and retention to greater innovation and performance. Every brain deserves a place to thrive—and when it does, so does your organization.

When Everything Falls Apart: Finding Faith in the Fire with Dr. Ken Kaufman

Wednesday Wisdom When Everything Falls Apart: Finding Faith in the Fire with Dr. Ken Kaufman Today’s guest, Dr. Ken Kaufman, is a speaker, author, and former sports medicine entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience working with high-level athletes and active adults. But his most powerful message didn’t come from success—it came from collapse, including the death of his wife. After decades of building a thriving practice, Ken walked through a season where everything unraveled—business, finances, and identity. In that process, his faith was stripped down and rebuilt on a deeper foundation.  We talk about what do you do when prayer isn’t answered. We dive into Faith vs. Fear.  Ken shares why working harder, planning better, ego driven success and purpose left him still feeling empty inside. We even talk about how fire comes before revelation. Now, through his book Spiritual Endurance: Faith Forged in the Fire, Ken delivers a compelling message about trusting God beyond circumstances, finding purpose in adversity, and becoming stronger through life’s hardest seasons. Our conversation today is going to leave you challenged, encouraged, and equipped to endure—and grow—through whatever you are facing.
