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. He is the author of Control the Controllables: Mindset, Pressure, and the Power of Control, which expands on the eight controllables in his framework: Belief, Positivity, Commitment, Patience, Consistency, Adaptability, Resilience, and Effort.

Programs

Control the Controllables

Pressure changes how people think, respond, and use the skills they already have. Drawing from his life, six NFL seasons, and his experience working with leaders and teams, Raymont challenges audiences to examine where they spend their control and how they respond under pressure.

His framework centers on eight controllables: Belief, Positivity, Commitment, Patience, Consistency, Adaptability, Resilience, and Effort. Through humor, storytelling, and audience interaction, he helps leaders and teams recognize how those controllables show up in their everyday decisions.

Control the Controllables — Workshop

The workshop gives people time to apply the framework to situations they actually face. Raymont leads discussion, challenges assumptions, and helps participants examine their responses to pressure.

Designed for companies, associations, leaders, and teams, the conversation reflects the audience’s challenges and the decisions they need to make. Participants leave with a shared language and actions they can practice when pressure shows up again.
