Leadership RIFFs: Your Ultimate Leadership Growth Toolkit

Before working with Cody, I was using AI tools inconsistently — experimenting on my own without a clear system or workflow. The coaching gave me a structured approach to actually applying AI in my work with communities, which changed how I plan, create, and deliver. If you are serious about using AI practically, in a consistent and replicable way that will change your entire workflow, then Cody is the person to work with.

I had the great honor and pleasure to work for, and with, Cody for almost 5 years. I say "with" as well as for because that speaks to his style of leadership. He is collaborative and inclusive which allowed me to feel valued and respected. All that I learned from Cody can't be summarized in a brief recommendation (or not so brief) but I will say he broadened my perspective and understanding of leadership in a way that has impacted my life, not just my job. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to know Cody and the ability to truly bring my whole self to work every day. I have had a few occasions to work with leaders who epitomize integrity, and Cody is top among them.

It's hard to believe I've known Cody nearly 15 years now, and only recently started working in a professional capacity together. Now deeply engaged in sourcing candidates for key positions and advising on parts of our talent acquisition strategy I can see my initial assessments of him hold true. He's bright, capable and hardworking. More importantly he executes on the tasks given, takes and adapts to feedback and runs with things even in a vacuum of data. He's become a valuable part of our growth strategy.

Cody Horton is one of the best in the business. In addition to being a leader in Talent Acquisition, he brings an unparalleled passion to helping leaders and organizations get real results. I've known him for well over 15 years and my life is better as a result.
