Her firm, Triad Consulting, works with executive teams to strengthen their working relationships, work through tough conversations and make sound decisions together. Heen has applied her expertise across a diverse range of companies and cultures including Pixar, Hugo Boss, the NBA, the Federal Reserve Bank, AT&T, and many family businesses, as well as not-for-profits, the Singapore Supreme Court and the Obama White House. She has written two New York Times  bestsellers, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most, and Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well.

Morgan Franklin teaches Negotiation as a Lecturer on Law and serves as a Clinical Fellow at the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program, supporting the work of various dispute resolution student groups. Morgan’s work is driven by the belief that dispute resolution and negotiation, paired with our understanding of cognitive and behavioral science are key to helping us address seemingly intractable societal challenges. Morgan has a B.A. in Political Economy from Tulane University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and spent a fellowship in Baltimore focusing on health policy.  Before returning to Harvard, Morgan worked on a team supporting reentry for the recently incarcerated by convening groups with divergent views and facilitating dialogue between them to identify workable policy solutions.
