Founder & Chief Impact Officer | Certified Coach, Speaker, & Trainer
Chris Hansen has spent more than 25 years working with youth, young adults, and the adults who influence them - across schools, camps, teams, organizations, and one-on-one coaching relationships. He founded Impact 168 on a simple but powerful idea: you have 168 hours every week. How you lead yourself through those hours determines everything.
Chris is a certified coach, speaker, and trainer who brings warmth, honesty, and deep experience to every conversation. He doesn't just teach leadership - he lives it, constantly working on his own growth while walking alongside clients on theirs.
Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Chris is married to his best friend Stephanie, and together they're raising two amazing kids, Caden and Cloe. Family is Chris's grounding force - and it's why he does this work. He wants every young person to have the kind of support, clarity, and confidence that changes the trajectory of a life.
Chris's coaching focus: Youth & teens, young adults, parents and trusted adults, leaders and teams.
Coach, Speaker, & Trainer
Danielle brings over a decade of coaching and mentoring experience to Impact 168 - and a life story that shaped every bit of it. Growing up moving frequently, she learned early how to walk into new rooms, connect with new people, and adapt to new environments. What could have been unsettling became one of her greatest strengths: the ability to meet people exactly where they are and help them find their footing.
Those years of attending multiple schools didn't just build resilience - they gave Danielle a front-row seat to how differently people learn, grow, and respond to guidance. That awareness lives in everything she does as a coach today.
Danielle has spent the last several years working closely with Coach Chris through the leadership program at Longoria Tactical Martial Arts, where her passion for developing youth leaders became something she couldn't ignore. Working with young people - watching them discover their confidence, find their voice, and step into who they're becoming - is where Danielle comes alive.
Outside of coaching, Danielle is married to her best friend Jesse, and together they're raising two kids and two dogs in a household where leadership isn't just talked about - it's lived. The whole family are black belts and deeply active in martial arts, a community that has shaped Danielle's understanding of discipline, growth, and what it looks like to commit to something bigger than yourself.
Danielle joins Impact 168 ready to pour into the next generation of leaders - and the adults who champion them.
Danielle's coaching focus: Youth & teens, young adults, and the families and communities who invest in them.
Coach, Speaker, & Trainer
Mike has spent more than 25 years helping young people learn, lead, and grow — in classrooms, college programs, and martial arts schools. With a background in secondary education and a master's degree in Educational Leadership and Policy, he brings something rare to the coaching space: a deep, practical understanding of how young people actually build confidence over time, and what it takes to guide them through it.
Mike began his career as a high school science teacher in Oklahoma before moving into higher education and leadership at the University of Utah.
Today he is the co-owner and head instructor of Journey Martial Arts, where he works with students and families to develop far more than physical skills. Discipline, communication, resilience, accountability, and the confidence to take on hard things — that's what gets built on his mat, and it's what he brings to every coaching relationship.
As a coach, Mike is direct, thoughtful, and action-oriented. He believes leadership isn't a title or a personality type — it's a collection of skills that can be practiced, strengthened, and applied in everyday life. Whether he's working with a student finding their voice, a young adult navigating a major transition, or an instructor learning to better serve their team, Mike has a gift for helping people identify their next meaningful step and actually take it.
Outside of coaching, Mike is the proud dad of Ben and Chloe. His years as an educator, business owner, martial arts instructor, and parent have shaped a simple but powerful conviction: young people thrive when the adults around them hold high expectations and show up with genuine support. That's the standard Mike holds himself to every day.
Mike's coaching focus: Youth & teens, young adults, martial arts instructors and school owners, educators, and teams.
