Youth Empowerment Expert
My focus has always been on helping my audience discover their full potential. Over the past 28 years, I have spoken to thousands of people to help them uncover their potential, live authentically, and make a positive difference. I give real world solutions that have lasting impact.
With nearly three decades of experience, Harriet brings authenticity, expertise, and straightforward guidance to every program. In a world peppered with indifference, complacency, and difficult decisions, she offers her unique and fresh perspective regarding leadership, loyalty, and life.
Powerful, engaging and insightful, Harriet pulls no punches and connects with her audiences when she “tells it like it is.” Participants leave her programs with a clear, practical, healthy lifestyle message: believe in you, and believe in the value of life!
However, Harriet doesn’t give participants unrealistic hope. Just because, “We dream it,” does NOT automatically mean, “We achieve it!” By reinforcing the concept that we all possess personal power, participants learn that they are in charge of their choices, but they don’t always get to choose the consequences. Learning how to cope with failure, and trying again are integral components of this program. Using her degrees in Criminal Justice, her background in probation and youth leadership, and her experiences as a professional speaker, Harriet will give you tools and time tested strategies to create an incredible revolution in your life and in your community!

After the Speech: When Teens Get Real
After the Speech, When Teens Get Real is an entertaining and poignant collection of true stories from young people who have reached out to Harriet Turk after her speaking engagements at school assemblies, youth conferences, or weekend leadership retreats. A few of them she met only through a note that was pressed in her hand while she was talking with someone else. Others contacted her through a personal call, email, Facebook message, or letter. And some of them were those tentative students who were waiting in the wings, longing to share their stories with someone who has been there – and needing to believe in the promise of a better future. It’s not just about dreams; it’s about life. Inspiring stories from transparent hearts.
