WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HARLAN'S EVENTS:
Northeastern University (Boston)
Harlan was an absolute pleasure to have at Northeastern. He could not have been more gracious, easy to work with or nicer with our students. We had a fantastic turnout for a Friday rainy night in Boston –and what’s even better is that students stayed the entire show and really enjoyed it. We had an after-party that Harlan promoted during the show and had a very successful event. Students came to meet each other, meet Harlan and put themselves out there in a way that was clearly a result of Harlan’s encouragement and messaging. Possibly the most impressive to me was the time that Harlan took with students ---he was patient, kind and stayed at our event until each and every student who wanted an opportunity to speak with him had ample time to talk.

We sometimes struggle to get good attendance at speakers like this, but Harlan drew about 300 people! The audience was engaged the whole time, and really enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions and find ways to improve their love life!

Bringing Harlan Cohen to the University of Nebraska at Kearney showed to be one of our most successful events to date. With his quirky humor and vast relationship knowledge, Harlan was able to engage the whole audience throughout the entire session. I could not have been happier with how accommodating and entertaining Harlan was!
