The Elevater Effect: Building Better Leaders Through Connection - Haley Hansel

Reaching our potential isn’t something we accomplish alone—it requires intentional, development-focused connection. In this keynote, Haley Hansel introduces the concept of the Elevater: a team member with the skills and intention to elevate themselves, their peers, and their organization. Elevaters thrive because they embrace the power of purposeful relationships, using these connections to fuel personal growth, strengthen team dynamics, and improve organizational outcomes.


Haley’s method for creating Elevaters is grounded in building intentional spaces where development and connection intersect. This cohort-based approach harmonizes people, process, and technology to create environments that drive both self-awareness and accountability. Attendees will learn how investing in focused, meaningful connection leads to two transformative outcomes: empowering individuals to unlock their full potential while building high-functioning, deeply connected teams.


Drawing on thousands of hours of leadership training, Haley will share actionable tools and frameworks to help attendees cultivate Elevaters in their own organizations. This talk redefines leadership—not as a title, but as a practice of fostering growth through intentional collaboration.


This is a talk for anyone who believes that success isn’t a solo pursuit but a shared journey where connection becomes the foundation for transformation.
