OUR MISSION

We make elevated leaders.

Cohd partners with organizations who understand that growing their business means growing leaders; and are searching for a system that can offer leadership development for their team.

After over eight years of creating, testing, and refining our approach to leadership development, we do just that.

We bring a holistic and impactful leadership development toolkit into organizations and place an emphasis on ensuring participants master these tools.

Most leadership development offerings are either solely available for executives, or they involve one-off or sporadic trainings that don’t have the ability to properly support real, long-term growth and development.

All our leadership development programs rely on a consistent, weekly, hands-on approach to deliver our toolkit. We want participants to leave our programs with command of these tools, not simply be introduced to them.

We know that in order for your business to continue growing, your people must be equipped with tools to continue growing personally and professionally. We bring those tools to your organization.

Haley Hansel, Co-founder

“I see self awareness as every individual’s greatest unlocking move. And while you can’t teach someone to be self aware, you can teach them the skills and habits necessary to get there.”

Haley has spent her career creating, experimenting, refining, practicing, and internalizing the Cohd leadership development system. She has a passion for working with individuals at any level in an organization to uncover, engage and ultimately transcend the limiting assumptions and defensive routines that prevent them from developing capabilities beyond their own expectations.

Haley works closely with individuals, discreet teams, and entire organizations to develop and systematize sustainable, safe, and demanding cultures that push individuals to reach their potential; and subsequently create highly effective teams and organizations. 

Haley received an MBA with a focus on leadership and organizational development from Pepperdine University, and a BA in Journalism from the University of Iowa.

Bryan Hansel, Co-founder

Bryan has spent the last 35 years working in high growth emerging markets.  Having been the CEO of both privately held and investor-owned businesses, he brings a broad perspective to the challenges of growing great teams. 

Bryan had operated for much of his career in a traditional top-down culture that focused on business performance.  Having teams feel accountable for outcomes, but many times not having the team dynamics to unlock the needed outcomes.  He realized that as the CEO, he was responsible and was forced to look into the mirror for a change.  

This led to the co-creation and implementation of the Cohd’s leadership development toolkit.  Over the last five years, the growth he has seen in himself has been successfully shared, and the tools made accessible. 

Bryan has a passion for seeing everyone experience the growth that comes from the Cohd human development formula and team performance formula.

“Every CEO gets the exact organization they deserve.”
