Harkness

The Harkness method is a discussion-based learning style that emphasizes student centric discussion and active participation in a classroom setting. The goal is to create an environment where students can share their thoughts and perspectives, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn from each other.

Jason Brooks, a native of South Central Los Angeles, taught Mandarin, Spanish & Mathematics for 18 years. During COVID-19, as he tracked student interaction by hand, he quickly recognized the potential for artificial intelligence to fuel better meeting performance. In October 2021, he founded HARKNESS.AI, an early stage startup whose vision is to empower everyone - on every team - to meaningfully contribute their voice at work, in school, or any other group... free from friction, fear or bias.

Co-founder Keenan Hale Jr. graduated from Syracuse University as a Big East Conference Football Champion & 2-time bowl winner with a degree in Communications and Rhetorical Studies. He began his career as a Chief of Staff and Campaign Manager for Mayoral Candidate Rochelle Robinson in Douglasville, GA.  He later served as Legislative Assistant and senior advisor to Congressman Al Green. Most recently, Keenan worked as a registered lobbyist advising and providing political & regulatory insight to multiple trade associations and Fortune 500 clients.

Co-hosts Rohan and Mike join us to discuss the conversation trust factor, targeting miscommunication and how that corrodes trust and team, their aim to promote self-awareness within the team structure, and the ability to help people ask hard cultural questions safely.
