About Grant
From Friction to Flow
Neuroinclusive Speaker & Consultant
Human-Centered Performance Strategist
Grant Harris, MBA, CDE®, shows people leaders how to stop blaming people for problems created by bad work design.
A globally recognized neuroinclusive speaker and consultant, 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.
A manager sees confusion and calls it lack of initiative.
An HR leader sees turnover and misses the friction underneath it.
A team loses hours in vague expectations, broken handoffs, poorly designed meetings, hidden communication rules, and slow decisions.
Then the person gets labeled as the problem.
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 retention, execution, manager judgment, and team effectiveness. Audiences leave with a practical way to spot friction before it becomes a performance, retention, or credibility problem.
Grant founded GTH Consulting and has worked across enterprise, government, higher education, and mission-driven environments where complexity is real and performance matters. His clients and audiences have included The Washington Post, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Loudoun County government, and ASICS.
As a late-diagnosed autistic professional and Certified Diversity Executive, Grant brings both lived experience and executive-level rigor to the stage. He helps leaders spot the friction that causes neurodivergent and neurodistinct talent to be mislabeled, underused, or pushed out.
His core message is simple: Fix your process, not your people.
I do this work because I know what it means to move through systems that were not designed to recognize every kind of mind.
That perspective has shaped a clear point of view: broken workflows, unclear expectations, and outdated performance signals often misjudge capable people. The answer is not to keep pushing people harder. The answer is to improve how work is designed.
That is the commitment behind my work with leaders and organizations: fix the process, reduce the friction, and make performance easier to see.

Fix your process—not your people.
GTH Consulting shows people leaders how to stop misreading talent by fixing workplace friction. We identify where time is being lost, where talent is underused, and where value is leaking across teams, workflows, and decision paths.
Through executive advisory, keynotes, and strategic consulting, we help leaders reduce execution friction, strengthen capability utilization, and build systems that support stronger performance under pressure.
This is not generic culture work. It is human-centered performance work designed to make execution clearer, faster, and more reliable.
