Jason Craige Harris is a thought leader, strategist, and storyteller who helps leaders and some of the sharpest minds in the country solve hard problems. When organizations and communities are stuck, polarized, or quietly unraveling, Jason is often the person called in to help steady the room, fix what’s broken, and help people talk to each other again. Trained in ethics, psychology, and systems thinking, he blends science with real life—using humor, deep listening, and storytelling to help people navigate conflict, repair relationships, and make decisions under pressure. A researcher, mediator, restorative practitioner, Jason studies how stress, power, and fear hijack our conversations—and how curiosity, dignity, courage, and spiritual practice can bring us back. A Pollyanna speaker, he brings big ideas down to earth, helping people see that leadership isn’t about being the loudest or the smartest—it’s about being human, especially when it’s hardest.

"I wake up thinking about faith, healing, and democracy. I long for ways of being, relating, and organizing life that honor each person’s dignity and that cherish the planet we call home. We need the skill and will to repair. Tikkun Olam. Imagine that world, here and now, where when we harm our own or others’ dignity, we acknowledge the harm, take steps to repair it, and change our behavior. This is what it means to become wise.”

He reads the tone, cadence and culture of my organization's unique culture with precision and insight, and fashions helpful solutions for organizational leaders and staff to both inspire and pursue an authentic culture of dignity and belonging.”
Vince Warren

“Jason Craige Harris is an unusually skilled facilitator and teacher. Over the past several years of working together closely, I have often referred to Jason as a magician. I have seen few if any people hold a space as well as he does--including under the most challenging of circumstances. He has an exceptional ability to work with people across a wide range of differences--and for everyone to leave the room or experience with their dignity intact and a greater sense of inclusion and understanding. There is at once power and beauty in how Jason is able to bring ideas and people together.”
John Palfrey
President, MacArthur Foundation
“Jason is the type of leader and facilitator that leaves you with a feeling that you are engaged on a journey toward freedom. He is thoughtful, warm and patient. His style is motivational and very servant led. He isn't a braggart and you won't have the sense that he's just in for the quick fix. It's clear he's in for the long ride toward social justice and liberation for everyone he encounters. It has been my absolute joy to learn and work with him.”
George Walker
Chief Equity Officer, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“There are many on the speakers’ circuit who point to issues and goals. Jason is one of the few who give you valuable tools to help your community move from need to goal. He has a wonderful grasp of both theory and the on-the-ground reality of how to make things work in an organization. Further, the care and warmth with which he does his presentations make anyone feel at ease with what can be challenging material.”
Bob Mattingly
Executive Director, The Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education
“Jason is an extremely special find - as a practitioner, a board member, teacher, facilitator, colleague, co-collaborator and just a really good friend. He is kind, compassionate, insightful, hard working and smart as a whip. He is a seeker of knowledge, jumps into experiences as a true learner, reads everything and combines it all into his own unique understandings - which he then teaches to others. His emotional intelligence is so high, that I think he could be thrown into any situation - no matter how contentious - and add value.
Elizabeth Clements
Founder and Executive Director, Hidden Water
“It has been an extraordinary privilege for me and my learning community to work with Jason Craige Harris.

“Jason Craige Harris is an exceptional leader and speaker who has made an impact within the AAIE global community. AAIE, a non-profit that works with international schools around the world, had the pleasure of engaging with Jason - and he made a lasting impression. He skillfully led thought-provoking sessions on Dignity, Dialogue, and Depolarization as well as Leading Through Complexity – A Strategic Approach to Tackling Big Challenges. These were timely and often challenging topics, and Jason approached them with deep knowledge, clarity, and a remarkable ability to engage participants in meaningful dialogue.

“Jason Craige Harris is a rare and vital presence in any room—equal parts strategist, sage, and steward of the human spirit. I’ve seen firsthand how his presence and deep emotional intelligence create space for honesty and accountability. Jason specializes in the hard work of repair and redemption—for leaders who have faltered and for institutions seeking to become whole again. In an industry like mine, where pressure, ego, and complexity abound, voices like Jason’s are not just refreshing—they are essential.

And while I turned to him for his leadership, I deeply appreciated his collaborative and generous spirit. We are stronger as a community for the work we did with him.”

He skillfully guides individuals and teams toward understanding and resolution with his kind, precise approach and exceptional expertise. From my experience, I can attest that his adept methods consistently lead to harmonious and productive results.”
Daisy Auger-Dominguez

“Jason is engaging. Jason is knowledgeable. Jason is compassionate. These three descriptive words truly just scratch the surface of Jason’s talents as a speaker and educator. He invites everyone into the conversation, makes the room welcoming and then shares his enormous wisdom. Everyone leaves Jason’s sessions with more knowledge and a desire to learn more.”
Casper Caldarola
Founder, Pollyanna
“I cannot recommend Jason Craige Harris highly enough. As a coach he has helped me to see new perspectives, connect ideas in creative and impactful ways, and he has taught me new approaches and concepts. As a facilitator he has done wonders with our board of trustees. He is, without a doubt, the best board facilitator I have ever worked with. Above all else, he is simply a wonderful human being, filled with compassion, love, and wisdom.”

“Having worked very closely with Jason as a facilitator, coach and strategist for my organization, I've observed his exceptional talent in all of those areas. He reads the tone, cadence and culture of my organization's unique culture with precision and insight, and fashions helpful solutions for organizational leaders and staff to both inspire and pursue an authentic culture of dignity and belonging.”
Vince Warren
Founder and CEO of Impactful
“Jason Craige Harris is an unusually skilled facilitator and teacher. Over the past several years of working together closely, I have often referred to Jason as a magician. I have seen few if any people hold a space as well as he does--including under the most challenging of circumstances. He has an exceptional ability to work with people across a wide range of differences--and for everyone to leave the room or experience with their dignity intact and a greater sense of inclusion and understanding. There is at once power and beauty in how Jason is able to bring ideas and people together.”
John Palfrey
President, MacArthur Foundation
“Jason is the type of leader and facilitator that leaves you with a feeling that you are engaged on a journey toward freedom. He is thoughtful, warm and patient. His style is motivational and very servant led. He isn't a braggart and you won't have the sense that he's just in for the quick fix. It's clear he's in for the long ride toward social justice and liberation for everyone he encounters. It has been my absolute joy to learn and work with him.”
George Walker
Chief Equity Officer, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“There are many on the speakers’ circuit who point to issues and goals. Jason is one of the few who give you valuable tools to help your community move from need to goal. He has a wonderful grasp of both theory and the on-the-ground reality of how to make things work in an organization. Further, the care and warmth with which he does his presentations make anyone feel at ease with what can be challenging material.”
Bob Mattingly
Executive Director, The Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education
“Jason is an extremely special find - as a practitioner, a board member, teacher, facilitator, colleague, co-collaborator and just a really good friend. He is kind, compassionate, insightful, hard working and smart as a whip. He is a seeker of knowledge, jumps into experiences as a true learner, reads everything and combines it all into his own unique understandings - which he then teaches to others. His emotional intelligence is so high, that I think he could be thrown into any situation - no matter how contentious - and add value.
Elizabeth Clements

“It has been an extraordinary privilege for me and my learning community to work with Jason Craige Harris. He has guided us as an organization to collaborate together with more awareness, grace and care for each other. He not only is a master facilitator and educator, but also a healer of souls. To spend time with Jason is to feel grounded and profoundly seen as he holds space for deeper listening and understanding among all the stakeholders in the conversation.
Terry Knickerbocker

“Jason and I have worked together in the context of my work with the Peacemaking Circle process and Restorative Justice. At a personal level I turn to Jason for perspective, insight and hopefulness when I am feeling challenged and uncertain about how to move forward working with people in complex, difficult relationships. At a community level I refer colleagues to Jason’s writings, particularly his writings about organizational change toward organizations founded in equity and care for one another.
Kay Pranis

“A thought partner committed to centering the humanity of every community member and seeing the humanity in every challenging situation, Jason is a trusted adviser for our administrative team. His divinity school training informs his work in schools and guides us to open our minds and hearts to the most important and often difficult questions we must ask of ourselves as we endeavor to create a community based on mutual concern. More than a first-rate facilitator, he is a talented teacher who models for us all what it means to be our best selves. My colleagues and I grow as leaders whenever we have the opportunity to work with him.”

AAIE, a non-profit that works with international schools around the world, had the pleasure of engaging with Jason - and he made a lasting impression. He skillfully led thought-provoking sessions on Dignity, Dialogue, and Depolarization as well as Leading Through Complexity – A Strategic Approach to Tackling Big Challenges. These were timely and often challenging topics, and Jason approached them with deep knowledge, clarity, and a remarkable ability to engage participants in meaningful dialogue.
Laura Light
Executive Director, AAIE
“Jason Craige Harris is a rare and vital presence in any room—equal parts strategist, sage, and steward of the human spirit. I’ve seen firsthand how his presence and deep emotional intelligence create space for honesty and accountability. Jason specializes in the hard work of repair and redemption—for leaders who have faltered and for institutions seeking to become whole again. In an industry like mine, where pressure, ego, and complexity abound, voices like Jason’s are not just refreshing—they are essential.

“Working with Jason helped me, and our organization, feel supported, seen and smarter about some of the most complex issues we had to unravel. He is equal parts strategist, scholar, and counselor. And while I turned to him for his leadership, I deeply appreciated his collaborative and generous spirit. We are stronger as a community for the work we did with him.”
Ann Shoket
CEO, TheLi.st
"Jason has a knack for helping mission-driven organizations put their values into practice, starting from the inside. He brings a fresh perspective that helps teams turn daunting challenges into simpler steps that they can take together as part of a clear, cohesive strategy."
Manish Bapna
President and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council
“Jason Craige Harris is an expert guide through the turbulent waters of thorny dialogues and intricate group dynamics. He skillfully guides individuals and teams toward understanding and resolution with his kind, precise approach and exceptional expertise. From my experience, I can attest that his adept methods consistently lead to harmonious and productive results.”
Daisy Auger-Dominguez
National Inclusion Expert
“Jason is engaging. Jason is knowledgeable. Jason is compassionate. These three descriptive words truly just scratch the surface of Jason’s talents as a speaker and educator. He invites everyone into the conversation, makes the room welcoming and then shares his enormous wisdom. Everyone leaves Jason’s sessions with more knowledge and a desire to learn more.”
Casper Caldarola
Founder, Pollyanna
“I cannot recommend Jason Craige Harris highly enough. As a coach he has helped me to see new perspectives, connect ideas in creative and impactful ways, and he has taught me new approaches and concepts. As a facilitator he has done wonders with our board of trustees. He is, without a doubt, the best board facilitator I have ever worked with. Above all else, he is simply a wonderful human being, filled with compassion, love, and wisdom.”

“Having worked very closely with Jason as a facilitator, coach and strategist for my organization, I've observed his exceptional talent in all of those areas. He reads the tone, cadence and culture of my organization's unique culture with precision and insight, and fashions helpful solutions for organizational leaders and staff to both inspire and pursue an authentic culture of dignity and belonging.”
Vince Warren
Founder and CEO of Impactful
“Jason Craige Harris is an unusually skilled facilitator and teacher. Over the past several years of working together closely, I have often referred to Jason as a magician. I have seen few if any people hold a space as well as he does--including under the most challenging of circumstances. He has an exceptional ability to work with people across a wide range of differences--and for everyone to leave the room or experience with their dignity intact and a greater sense of inclusion and understanding. There is at once power and beauty in how Jason is able to bring ideas and people together.”
John Palfrey
President, MacArthur Foundation
“Jason is the type of leader and facilitator that leaves you with a feeling that you are engaged on a journey toward freedom. He is thoughtful, warm and patient. His style is motivational and very servant led. He isn't a braggart and you won't have the sense that he's just in for the quick fix. It's clear he's in for the long ride toward social justice and liberation for everyone he encounters. It has been my absolute joy to learn and work with him.”
George Walker
Chief Equity Officer, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“There are many on the speakers’ circuit who point to issues and goals. Jason is one of the few who give you valuable tools to help your community move from need to goal. He has a wonderful grasp of both theory and the on-the-ground reality of how to make things work in an organization. Further, the care and warmth with which he does his presentations make anyone feel at ease with what can be challenging material.”
Bob Mattingly
Executive Director, The Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education
“Jason is an extremely special find - as a practitioner, a board member, teacher, facilitator, colleague, co-collaborator and just a really good friend. He is kind, compassionate, insightful, hard working and smart as a whip. He is a seeker of knowledge, jumps into experiences as a true learner, reads everything and combines it all into his own unique understandings - which he then teaches to others. His emotional intelligence is so high, that I think he could be thrown into any situation - no matter how contentious - and add value.
Elizabeth Clements
Founder and Executive Director, Hidden Water
“It has been an extraordinary privilege for me and my learning community to work with Jason Craige Harris. He has guided us as an organization to collaborate together with more awareness, grace and care for each other. He not only is a master facilitator and educator, but also a healer of souls. To spend time with Jason is to feel grounded and profoundly seen as he holds space for deeper listening and understanding among all the stakeholders in the conversation.
Terry Knickerbocker
Studio Director, Terry Knickerbocker Studio
“Jason and I have worked together in the context of my work with the Peacemaking Circle process and Restorative Justice. At a personal level I turn to Jason for perspective, insight and hopefulness when I am feeling challenged and uncertain about how to move forward working with people in complex, difficult relationships. At a community level I refer colleagues to Jason’s writings, particularly his writings about organizational change toward organizations founded in equity and care for one another.
Kay Pranis

“A thought partner committed to centering the humanity of every community member and seeing the humanity in every challenging situation, Jason is a trusted adviser for our administrative team. His divinity school training informs his work in schools and guides us to open our minds and hearts to the most important and often difficult questions we must ask of ourselves as we endeavor to create a community based on mutual concern. More than a first-rate facilitator, he is a talented teacher who models for us all what it means to be our best selves. My colleagues and I grow as leaders whenever we have the opportunity to work with him.”
Jane Foley Fried
Head of the Brearley School
"Jason Craige Harris is the diplomatic and empathetic expert that so many schools are looking for. With a deep understanding of the human experience, Jason enters spaces with compassion, care, and interest like none other. His ability to engage audiences through engaged listening is unparalleled. His depth of knowledge and strong emotional intelligence make him the perfect match for his work. Any organization, school, college, or university would be fortunate to have the opportunity to have Jason included in their future."

I’ve seen firsthand how his presence and deep emotional intelligence create space for honesty and accountability. Jason specializes in the hard work of repair and redemption—for leaders who have faltered and for institutions seeking to become whole again. In an industry like mine, where pressure, ego, and complexity abound, voices like Jason’s are not just refreshing—they are essential.
