About CODA Learning Products

The CODA Learning Products are the result of professional collaboration of leadership development experts, researchers, human resources professionals, OD practitioners, and certified coaches. 

For over 35 Dr. James P. Sartain and Kathryn Davanzo have researched and field-tested how to:

• help individuals grow into leaders and improve their leadership effectiveness, 

• increase impact and influence with effective communications,

• build and lead teams, 

• strengthen organizational culture, and

• maximize individual, team, and leadership performance.

With decades of measurable results, the resulting CODA Learning Products are highly-engaging, evidence-based curricula and strategies. 

At the core of these programs is the importance of connecting - with our own identity,  and with those we lead, serve, and work along side.

Like The Connected Leadership Program and the Leader P.O.V.® Capstone Experience,  all CODA Learning programs and learning products are organized around the Connected Leadership Framework© and the Sartain Grounded Theory - Leader Self-Identity Development Model ©

Every case study, classroom activity, reflective practice, and guided discussion is designed to help clarify and strengthen identity and to help refine the tools necessary to lead self and others to optimal results.  

Over the years the authors, James P. Sartain, Ph.D. and Kathryn Davanzo have leveraged their experiences as leaders, researchers, writers, speakers, and trainers to benefit leaders, teams, employees at every level, and students and to advance the conversation around how best to increase leader, team, and individual effectiveness.
