Pianist · Author · Mentor · Louisville, Kentucky
Music that brings the body to rest. Keynotes that help people bring their full humanity to a turbulent age. Mentoring for smart, creative people when the old forms no longer fit and the new ones haven't arrived.
Three ways to work together
Music
Contemplative solo piano, improvised in the moment for the people in the room. For retreats, faith communities, healing spaces, conferences, and private listening.
Keynotes & Workshops
Live improvised piano woven with practical neuroscience. Harry helps leaders, teams, and organizations stay clear, present, flexible, and steady, and preserve the best of their humanity in an AI-driven, constantly changing age.
Mentoring
Reinvention when there's no clear path. Possibility after adversity. Restoration after loss. Harry helps you:
Is this you?
The shape of your days no longer matches the sound of your soul.
The old forms don't fit. Something is dissolving: a role, a relationship, your health, the life you thought was secure. You don't yet know what's next. You only know this isn't it.
This is the chrysalis. I specialize in it.
About
Harry Pickens is an award-winning jazz pianist, educator, author, and neuroregulation coach. He has performed with Milt Jackson, Freddie Hubbard, James Moody, and Johnny Griffin, and in 2015 played an original composition for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
A personal experience transforming debilitating performance anxiety into rock-star confidence led to decades of research and study exploring the miraculous capacity of the human brain to reorganize and remold in response to clear intention and dedicated practice. Along the way, Harry gained expertise in multiple modalities that build on the power of neuroplasticity to transform belief, emotion and behavior. He earned a Certification in Applied Positive Psychology from the Flourishing Center, the ProEFT Masters Certification, and is a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and Trainer.
He has also lived the transitions he now guides others through: years as solo caregiver for a parent with dementia, long COVID, cancer, and more reinventions than he can count. He came through them clearer, stronger, kinder, and wiser. Now he brings the best of what he’s learned in life’s crucible to others.
