Why Book

Raymont Harris doesn’t chase applause. He teaches leaders how to perform without it. This isn’t a motivational act. He brings a framework built from real pressure, real wins, and hard-earned perspective. His keynote gives the audience tools that work. Not just stories. Not just hype. A system they can use under stress, during change, and when nobody is clapping. If you want someone polished and predictable, there are plenty of options. If you want the truth, backed by experience and built for impact, Raymont is the one to bring in.

Biography

Raymont Harris is a former NFL running back, keynote speaker, and founder of Elite Mindset & Performance (EMP). His signature keynote, Control the Controllables, teaches teams how to perform under pressure, lead through change, and stay accountable when it matters most.

Raymont’s approach comes from experience, not theory. After six seasons in the NFL, he spent 15 years in leadership at The Ohio State University, advising championship coaches, C-suite executives, and entrepreneurs in high-stakes environments where results matter. His leadership work has helped secure more than $100 million in philanthropic support, and his impact stretches across industries from trucking to tech to athletics.

Raymont also leads the Jean & Raymont Harris Foundation, which provides support for families affected by maternal mortality and helps former athletes navigate life after sports. His upcoming book, Control the Controllables: Mindset, Pressure, and the Power of Control, releases in 2026 and expands on the eight controllables that anchor his framework: Belief, Positivity, Commitment, Patience, Consistency, Adaptability, Resilience, and Effort.

Programs

Control the Controllables

Raymont Harris delivers one thing: Control the Controllables. This keynote is built for pressure, not praise. It gives audiences the tools to lead when conditions get hard, respond with discipline, and take full ownership of what drives performance.

Raymont played six seasons in the NFL and spent 15 years leading inside one of the most competitive athletic departments in the country at The Ohio State University. His message comes from real environments where excuses don’t matter, and outcomes do.

Control the Controllables breaks down eight performance drivers:
Belief, Positivity, Commitment, Patience, Consistency, Adaptability, Resilience, and Effort.
The first four control your mindset. The last four control your performance.

This is not inspiration. It is a system that sticks. One built for leaders, teams, and industries under pressure.
