Sean Harvey, MSOD, MSEd is a senior advisor, organizational development practitioner, and thought leader focused on how masculinity, power, and emotional dynamics shape leadership, culture, and risk in hyper-masculine systems. His work sits at the intersection of men’s psychology, polarization, and institutional leadership, with particular attention to environments where authority, identity, and moral tension collide.
Sean is the founder of the Warrior Compassion Institute, a platform for advancing strategic men’s engagement, leadership development, and systems-level culture change in male-dominated organizations and communities. He specializes in engaging the hardest-to-reach men in the hardest-to-access systems to surface insights that apply across cultures and sectors, an approach he calls Masculinity at the Edges.
He is a co-founder of Project Compassion, a national initiative focused on compassionate policing, and previously served as Head of Personal Transformation and Wellbeing at EILEEN FISHER. Earlier in his career, he led the Talent Consulting Division of a global boutique firm, overseeing a network of more than 150 consultants and coaches worldwide.
Sean has served on the faculties of Cornell University, New York University, and Baruch College CUNY, and is currently affiliated with George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. He is also a Research Fellow at American University’s Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab, where he teaches and conducts research on Men, Masculinity, and Extremism.
His approach integrates organizational development, systems thinking, trauma-informed practice, and applied social psychology to help leaders work skillfully with fear, shame, conflict, and power. He is the author of Warrior Compassion: Unleashing the Healing Power of Men and a national speaker on compassionate leadership and men’s healing as catalysts for systems change.
