Vincent Harris
Brief Biography
Vincent Harris is the author of the book The Productivity
Epiphany and a superb professional speaker who delivers
thought provoking information-and compelling entertainment-to
the thinking audience. With his diverse experiences, he is
comfortable and conversant with individuals on any level. You can
count on Vince to candidly present the inside story, unheard by
most, to give his audiences a genuine edge.
An encounter with a sexual predator when he was just 10 years
old-a secret he kept for nearly 20 years- had squashed his
self-esteem. This, coupled with the struggles he faced
academically with ADHD, Vince just barely made it from one grade
to the next. By the time he graduated high school in 1984, with a
1.46 gpa, he had concluded that he was just not as smart as his
peers.
To compensate for his perceived academic "deficit" Vince had
excelled at sports, qualifying for the Junior Olympic Cross
Country National Championships at the age of 14.
22 years after barely making it out of high school, Vince
graduated magna cum laude from Graceland University by
utilizing the same strategies he now teaches others in his
seminars;strategies for increasing self-esteem and using leading
edge methods for accelerated learning.
Vince's "old standby"-his physical capability- would also
experience a setback; one that Vince would (as he has learned to
always do) turn into a meaningful opportunity to learn more
about himself and further enhance his real life knowledge base.
Vince was accepted into the Navy S.E.A.L training program while
serving in the United States Navy, after having served aboard the
USS Nimitz in the Gulf War, as a Plane Captain for the San
Diego based F-14 Fighter Jet Squadron, VF-24.
In a freak accident, Vince suffered a spinal injury and was
medically dropped from the Navy S.E.A.L. Indoctrination Program
after just 2 months into the BUD/S program. Being a S.E.A.L. had
been a long time goal for Vince, and he was deeply disappointed,
as he was at the age cutoff for becoming a S.E.A.L. and would
not have the opportunity to reapply.
Just one year later, Vince was brutally beaten one evening in San
Diego, and left for dead. When the hospital notified Vince's family,
the outlook was grim; if he lived through the night, he would
almost certainly have extensive brain damage due to the extent
of his head injuries.
With his "never give up; always keep moving forward attitude"
Vince made a recovery that his doctors simply didn't think was
possible.
About a year later, however, Vince started experiencing
neurological difficulties that became progressively worse; at one
point it took him 20 minutes to make it from his bed to a near
scalding hot bath each morning in an attempt to dull the intense
pain of his knotted muscles.
Vince shocked his doctors. Having been told that there was
nothing they could do, and, that he would just have to learn to
live with his pain, Vince once again refused to accept the
"sentence" others had tried to hand him.
Since that time, Vince has completed the Honolulu Marathon, and
runs and exercises daily.
There are few things Vince enjoys more than sharing with others
the mental strategies that anyone can use( the same strategies
he used) to become a much more resilient human being with a
"steel like" resolve to overcome any challenge that comes their
way.
Vince earned his undergraduate degree in education from
Graceland University, and a Master's of Science Degree in
Psychology.
While serving in the United States Navy, Vince graduated with
honors from The Naval School of Health Sciences. He was
asked to take the position of the Senior Corpsman on the
Oncology and Cardiology wards at the San Diego Naval Medical
Center. He also enjoyed time in the field of Sports Medicine at the
Naval Training Center.
It was during this time that Vince discovered his ability to quickly
facilitate change in others with his unique style of communication;
something that would cause one psychologist who often referred
her "difficult" clients to Vince to give him the nickname of "The
Human Whisperer"
After exiting the Navy, Vince gained valuable nursing and further
management experience as a head nurse for one of the
Marriott's most prestigious assisted living centers in San Diego,
California , and then during a very unique and interesting time in
corrections.
Seeking a new challenge, he formed his own consulting
business-Harris Research International- in 1998. An extremely
charismatic speaker and trainer, he was immediately sought out to
conduct trainings and high energy keynotes in his area of
expertise. He also works one-on-one with numerous clients to
discover needs and develop custom solutions.
His sharp material and spontaneous style ensure motivation is
re-ignited, perspectives re-framed and possibilities are uncovered
for every person,in every presentation or training he delivers.
In addition to his book and his popular audio programs, Vince
has also published over 100 articles.
Each of Vince's programs is customized with precision to match
the specific needs of your group or organization. You will quickly
learn leading edge strategies to achieve greater success.
Find out why people like MTV and FOX News call Vince when
they need expert insight into human behavior and accelerated
behavioral change.
