Dr. LaShawnna Harris

You know people.
So why is it still hard to ask for help?

Coaching and workshops for accomplished women who are ready for what's next: a new role, a career change or a business of your own. Find it with the people already in your corner.

Coaching

The Bond Framework

Five practices. One way of moving.

Everything I teach is built on the Bond framework, which grew out of my doctoral research on trust and how people share opportunity.

01

Visibility

Show up consistently in spaces that matter.

02

Curiosity

Invest genuine interest in who others are and what they need.

03

Generosity

Give help, ideas, and resources without keeping score.

04

Participation

Share experiences that create lasting memory and meaning.

05

Diversity

Build relationships across difference to widen what you can reach.

About Dr. Harris

A truth-teller.
A connector.

I do this work because I watched too many brilliant women carry everyone else's ambition and never get to name their own. The relationships that should have opened doors stayed closed, not because the talent was missing, but because no one taught us how to ask. So I teach it.
