OUR MISSION
We make elevated leaders.
At Cohd, we specialize in giving high performers the tools and training to become effective, high-impact leaders. Our boutique leadership development firm serves small to medium-sized organizations, offering hands-on, real-world training that equips your team with essential leadership tools and strategies.
For over 8 years, we have meticulously refined our content and methodology resulting in turnkey solutions for companies committed to developing their people. We bring holistic and impactful leadership development programs to your people and emphasize mastery of our leadership toolkit.
What sets us apart is our methodology. Our commitment to small cohorts, weekly synchronous meetings, and one-on-one coaching provides a personal, hands-on approach. We don’t just deliver training; our “team practices” are dedicated to training, multi-way conversations, and applying our toolkit to participants’ real business issues.
We produce confident, capable leaders who are equipped to continuously develop themselves and their team, and tackle today’s business challenges.
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
“Every CEO gets the exact organization they deserve.”
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.
