About Home of Elevaters
Home of Elevaters is a publication by Cohd. We’re an organization committed to helping teams build more conscious, capable, and human ways of working together.
At Cohd, we don’t just develop leaders. We build teams of Elevaters.
An Elevater isn’t a title. It’s a way of showing up.
An Elevater is someone who can pause instead of react.
Someone who can step into hard conversations with clarity and care.
Someone who takes responsibility for their impact—and keeps practicing how to do better.
Elevaters aren’t perfect. They’re practiced.
When you have one or two people like this on a team, things get easier.
When you have a whole team operating this way, everything changes.
Conversations get more honest. Trust gets stronger. Politics quiet down. People take more ownership. The work gets better—and the humans doing it are healthier.
That’s what Cohd is here to build: cultures of human development.
And this Substack is one way we support that work in the real world.
What This Is
Home of Elevaters is a practical, human-centered resource for people and teams who want to keep growing.
You’ll find:
Clear, usable frameworks for real work situations
Tools for building self-awareness, ownership, and better communication
Reflections that help you notice patterns and choose better ones
Ideas you can use on your own or bring into your team
This isn’t about motivation or inspiration that fades in a day.
It’s about building the skills and habits that make work—and working together—actually better.
Who It’s For
You can use Home of Elevaters:
As an individual, to sharpen how you show up at work and with others
As a manager or leader, to bring better tools and language into your team
As a company, to support ongoing development outside of formal programs
Some people read and reflect solo.
Some share posts in team meetings.
Some use the tools to shape how their teams talk, work, and grow together.
The point is simple: growth works better when it’s practiced and shared.
Why This Matters
Human development doesn’t happen because people know better ideas.
It happens because they practice differently, over time, in real situations.
That’s what Cohd has been building inside organizations.
And that’s what Home of Elevaters brings into a more accessible, ongoing format—so the work doesn’t stop, and more people can stay in practice.
A Note from Haley
I started Cohd because I believe this deeply: people change through practice.
You don’t become more self-aware, more thoughtful, or more effective by reading one good idea. You get there by noticing your patterns, trying something new, reflecting, and doing it again.
Home of Elevaters exists to support that process—for real humans, doing real work, on real teams.
