โœ“About HumanCoda

The people who built it are the people in the room.

HumanCoda is an owner-led soft skills partner based in Naples, Florida. We give client-facing teams one shared language for how they communicate, serve clients and resolve conflict, at the moments when that matters most.

Our mission

To give every team going through change one shared language, so people understand how each other is wired, serve clients as one team, and are still using it years later.

Who we are

Decades in human capital. One simple test.

HumanCoda was founded by two people who spent their careers inside Fortune 500 human capital, global staffing, outsourcing and enterprise programs. They kept seeing the same thing: training that looked good on the agenda and was forgotten by Friday.

So we hold ourselves to one test. Do people use it the next morning? Everything we do is built around passing it: we start live, we start with how each person is wired, we teach in your team's own vocabulary, and we come back to make sure it stuck.

๐ŸŽค

Live first

The language is learned together, in the room, so it belongs to the team and not to an app.

๐Ÿงญ

Wiring first

Everyone starts with the HumanCoda DISC Assessment. The training is about this team, not a generic one.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Your vocabulary

Advisor teams hear advisor language. Account teams hear client language. We capture it before session one.

๐Ÿงพ

Honest by default

If the problem is pricing, staffing or product, training won't fix it. We'll tell you on the first call.

Leadership

Meet the founders.

Every program is designed and delivered by the people who built HumanCoda. And yes, they know their own birds.

Every program starts with each person's DISC result, so the training is built around this team and how its people are wired.
