Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. (Philippians 2:3 NIV)
A PROVEN LEADER
To his distinctly unique credit, Dr. Tommy R. Nash’s business venture officially went into operations in 2018.
Nevertheless, his remarkably brilliant expertise surrounding his feature endeavor dates back to the early 1980’s, to put it more precisely.
“(I’ve been) teaching and speaking about leadership for 40 years,” Dr. Nash told Making Headline News during a recent interview.
Having been as good as advertised as the mastermind behind COGA – Leadership Intelligence Creates Leadership Champions, Dr. Nash’s Virginia-based company is widely regarded as the nation’s No. 1 Leadership Development and Instructor.
A progressive, thriving business endeavor that is a little more than three years removed from its ceremonious inception, COGA – Leadership Intelligence Creates Leadership Champions customarily offers a variety of services, most notably what it known as Kick It Up Keynotes, Insight Through Interviews, and Constructive Consultation.
COGA – Leadership Intelligence Creates Leadership Champions offers credible presentations, including what is known as Into Your Purpose, Team Enablement, and Redefining Leadership, as mentioned on the company’s website at https://cogalifeinstructor.com/.

S. census — Dr. Nash emphasized, among other things, that his strategic mission through his featured endeavor is centered largely on ensuring that individuals and businesses fully grasp a thorough concept of the entire leadership complement.
“You are here by purpose, not by circumstance,” said Dr. Nash, providing a detailed synopsis of his featured venture. “I am a forward-thinking program, operations, business executive, and a 25-year U.S. Navy officer, who offers a wealth of industry, military, and organizational leadership experience, strong business understanding, and well-documented history of advancing the strategic direction of an organization.
“I am a professional speaker. Nothing compares to the power of action and as an organizational leadership speaker speak at various forums and settings.

When asked how his competitive drive in life greatly propelled him for overseeing the day-to-day operations of COGA – Leadership Intelligence Creates Leadership Champions, Dr. Nash said: “Some things that drove me to start my own business are: My vision to transform leaders and society. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who becomes an entrepreneur is driven solely by a profit motive. I was and never have been driven by money. Some business owners have a strong desire to improve the lives of others and I continually believe that helping others is my purpose or calling, whether it be individuals, organizations, or communities.”
Interestingly enough Dr. Nash also alluded to what he appropriately describes as a “Sense of Achievement — “Upon establishing my business, I began working toward achieving my own goals” — Flexibility — “I enjoy working for myself and not others” — and Creation of Wealth as other key and strategic factors that have given way to sustained success of COGA – Leadership Intelligence Creates Leadership Champions.
“Being profitable is an inherent motive of an entrepreneur,” Dr. Nash explained. “Most business owners want to earn profits. However, I reiterate that this was not the primary initiative for starting my business. Furthermore, few professions generate the wealth that a successful business can generate.”
As for the age the age groups to whom his business caters, Dr. Nash acknowledged: “Initially, I would like to propose that I have no specific age group for whom I provide leadership assistance. I say this because leadership knows no age, race, or gender. Leadership abilities simply shine when given the right opportunity. Situations can sometimes present at just the right time and with the right project and at these moments people can demonstrate their innate abilities to lead.”
