A shrink, coach, husband, father, restaurateur, serial entrepreneur, speaker and friend. Currently, Harry is an executive coach who centers his coaching philosophy around heliotropic leadership at several companies to help their executives and high potential managers hone their leadership skills and focus on their unique strengths.
Harry wrote a book many years ago titled, Secrets of the Obvious, which he believes to be a guide for balanced living. Since 2008, Harry has owned The Black Pearl, a restaurant in Ann Arbor, MI which allows him the opportunity to practice the principles he teaches.
His latest book, Be the Sun, Not the Salt, dives further into using heliotropic principles to improve the performance of your business, your team, as well as how to apply them within your life.

Harry often says, my coaching philosophy can be summarized by four words:

When you are at your best, what does that look like?

- People will be drawn to you and want to be around you.
- You will be more effective in every role you play. You will feel good immediately.
- You will make those around you feel uplifted.
The great news is, the more you practice, the more automatic it becomes. Like the sun, people acting in heliotropic ways, create dramatic impact on their environment. Just remember, practice increases your chances of winning! No one is perfect at all times. But intention matters. Heliotropic people strive to be better than they are. To improve. To grow. To be their best selves. Dr. Harry Cohen will customize large group speaking engagements, team training, and one on one coaching to help you develop habits to intentionally be more heliotropic and be your best self as often as you can.

"Be the Sun, Not the Salt is a concept I subscribed to and started using in my company and in my life the day I first heard it. This philosophy lies at the core of great leadership and resonates with all! Thank you for sharing this impactful concept and now this wonderful book with us, Harry!"

"As I read Harry's book, I felt I'd done much of what he suggests throughout my 40-year career. I also felt I could have been more effective — 'Done More of That!' - if I'd had suggestions articulated as clearly as they are in this wonderful book."
