I am passionate about fostering mental health that helps teams perform under pressure.

I am driven to help people use performance psychology principles to improve their lives! After nearly 20 years as a sport and performance psychologist, I’ve learned that high performance is not only a set of tools but a way of being that we bring to everything we do. Yet, in several high performing industries, we’re behind in taking action on mental health—and in some ways I get it because how we’ve talked about mental health in these spaces doesn’t consider important nuances of high performance.

Fortunately, the message I share is informed by two decades of experience within several demanding industries that also have high mental health stigma including healthcare, higher education, and collegiate and professional sport (including collision sports, such as football and ice hockey). I’m also from a family of rural farmers, so my message is designed to reach even the most skeptical audience members! You can simply trust that what I have to say will reach the high performers on your team.

I’m a passionate and enthusiastic speaker (who might talk too fast at times) and am skilled at translating important concepts into practical strategies that you can immediately use. (You can thank my herding rescue dogs for helping me streamline my communication strategies!)

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology, am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC), and am a Licensed Psychologist, specializing in high performing populations. I am the Founder and CEO of Haugen Performance Consulting, a firm that provides education, training, and performance psychology solutions for sport organizations, corporations, and professionals. I've held a variety of positions including the Director of Mental Health and Performance Psychology at a Division I NCAA member institution and former Board member (2017-2019) and Past-President (2018-2019) of the North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners (NDSBPE).

Throughout my career, I have actively involved in training the next generation of healthcare leaders. I am an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Dakota and former faculty member at the Altru Family Medicine Residency (2016-2020). I continue providing mental health and performance psychology training to sports medicine fellows in physical therapy, athletic training students, and graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology. In 2023, I was also awarded the prestigious Jack Weakley Award of Distinction from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) for lifetime contributions to athletics, athletic training, and sports medicine, and I am the first mental health professional to receive this award.

Khadyajah Jenkins, M.A.T is a scholar-practitioner, cultural strategist, and doctoral candidate whose work examines the future of education, leadership, and relational labor in the age of artificial intelligence. Her research centers African-American executives and early-career professionals to understand how cultural conformity, emotional expression, respectability politics, and algorithmic bias shape leadership trajectories and mentorship opportunities in tech and media ecosystems. Through narrative inquiry and critical pedagogy, Jenkins studies how care, love, and cultural memory can serve as legitimate frameworks for leadership development and equitable system design.

Positioned at the intersection of higher education, innovation, and community infrastructure, Jenkins develops programs and pilots that translate academic knowledge into workforce outcomes. Her initiatives include college and career advising systems, city-aligned book fairs and literacy programs, AI literacy pathways for students and families, and archival storytelling series that reframe education as a cultural, relational, and economic project. Her platforms span LinkedIn, TikTok, Substack, and Patreon, where she produces research-informed content on education equity, postsecondary transitions, hidden industries, and love as a leadership practice.

Jenkins partners with civic, philanthropic, and educational stakeholders to design models that increase economic mobility, expand access to labor market information, and prepare communities for AI-mediated professional environments. Her work emphasizes that the future of work requires both technical and emotional infrastructure: knowledge, skills, networks, and care.

Her long-term vision is to build a research and learning firm with three pillars education, leadership , and economic justice—that integrates archival research, AI-enabled instructional design, and culturally situated learning systems. Through this interdisciplinary lens, she aims to reimagine how communities learn, lead, and love, and to create academic, civic, and digital ecosystems where Black intellectual and emotional labor are centered rather than extracted.

I have been a successful Deputy Chief of Police, State Representative, serial entrepreneur, COO, consultant, and am presently the CEO of a non-profit business. So basically, I've led everything but a conga line (though I not ruling it out).

I describe myself as the kind of leader who’s learned the hard way, laughed through the mess, and lived to tell the story—with a microphone in hand.

From the board room to the back alley, break room to the ballot box, my unique perspective and track record of success speak to my leadership style which is as practical as it is punchy.

I challenge audiences with thought provoking, engaging, and energetic presentations that leave attendees feeling empowered and enlightened reminding them that "Excellence lives in the area where most people fear to tread." Session titles like, "Tech Creep and the Chaos of Convenience" and "You can't Google what you don't know...you don't know," create interest and audiences are traditionally more engaged and enthusiastic.

If you are looking for a dynamic, insightful, thought-provoking speaker, I would like to be your choice.

Thank you for your time reviewing my fit for your event and if you need additional information you can find it at TCClements.net.
