Mission & Values
Jason Craige Harris is devoted to the work of alignment—where compassion shapes our relationships and integrity and efficacy anchor our systems, from the intimate to the institutional, the interpersonal to the structural. A multidisciplinary strategist working at the intersection of culture, leadership, and social impact, Jason helps groups build trust, navigate complexity, and design structures that work. He partners with leaders, organizations, and families to cultivate practices and systems rooted in dignity and designed for transformation. Trained in ethics, psychology, and systems thinking, Jason draws on tools as varied as coaching, storytelling, meditation, conflict mediation, group facilitation, and restorative practices.
Whether mediating conflicts within families or leadership teams or guiding institutions through culture change, Jason invites people to live undivided lives—to close the gap between who they are and who they hope to be, between the world as it is and the world as it ought to be. A writer, spiritual guide, and sought-after speaker, he bridges the seen and unseen, tending to the inner lives of people and the outer lives of systems. He believes meaningful change begins with integrity: the alignment of values and behavior. Rooted in love, sharpened by analysis, and guided by a politics of care all the way down, Jason’s work is a call to live relationally, to repair courageously, and to build environments that dignify rather than diminish.
He is Managing Partner at Perception Strategies, a consulting firm working globally to cultivate leaders, teams, and organizations that thrive. He also serves as Senior Advisor at Perception Institute, a research consortium advancing fairness and belonging in social systems, and is a member of the speakers bureau at Pollyanna, a national organization building stronger and kinder communities.
Previously, Jason directed school culture and inclusive engagement efforts at a Quaker independent school in New York City, where he co-led the peace, equity, and justice department, trained faculty and leadership across divisions, and taught courses at the intersection of ethics, history, and religion. Jason currently serves on the board of Hidden Water and served as Social Impact Producer for Race to Be Human, a documentary with Impactful that explores how to talk about race and mental health.
