The activities she incorporated were not only insightful on an individual level but also promoted team cohesion. Jodie’s seminar was a breath of fresh air, offering a perspective that goes beyond the typical hustle mentality. Her approach to holistic success, coupled with her vibrant delivery, left a lasting impression on me.”

“I am finding it way easier to speak in public now. I’ve hosted quite a few Information nights and I was speaking in front of 120 peeps the other day and that was completely unplanned and off the cuff. I’ve also joined Business Networking and I know I would have really struggled with all of these things if I hadn’t done your course. Thank you Jodie, you are so good at what you do!”
Robyn Dawson, Events & Operations Management. GRIDSIGHT.

“There are a few people you meet on your lifetime journey that have an influence on how you can approach your wellbeing and be resilient in a positive way during times of change. Jodie is one of them and was a delight to work with in getting our online event up and running all over Australia.
Jodie is extremely passionate and has the ability to transform, lead and coach her audience to appreciate and feel good about what she is presenting. Loved her good vibe and bubbly personality. She’s a breath of fresh air and delivered an engaging, relevant, and inspiring event.
This can be difficult to master when you are presenting wellbeing to an online audience around Australia, especially when you cannot see their faces. We finished the event feeling energized, in a positive frame of mind and with a big smile on our faces. The audience’s comments support her charming personality: “The best webinar I have attended. Jodie was fantastic and absolutely enjoyed her presentation and plenty of take-home moments. Thanks for putting this on during such a difficult year.”
CPA Member, VIC
“This webinar was mostly likely the best one I have attended this year. Jodie was fantastic. Absolutely enjoyed her presentation. Thank you again CPA for making this possible during such a difficult year!”
Samantha Mitchell, Advisor. Motor Neuron Disease Association of Australia
Jodie presented to the Virtual Conference for the Support Services teams of MND Australia and the MND state associations. Thank you so much for this online presentation – you were very engaging and the activities via Zoom breakout rooms were fantastic. It was nice to take time out from our busy workloads to re-centre and look at the positives we have in our lives, even during a pandemic. Highly recommend!
Karen Martin, Manager Support Service. Motor Neuron Disease Association Australia
Your presentation was amazing, insightful, included brilliantly led discussions and discoveries and was for us, perfectly delivered. It helped us to refresh our connection to ourselves and to those around us. The team have all provided very positive feedback and have today begun sharing some wonderful thoughts and moments of gratitude. Thank you so much and we look forward to working with you again.
Rose McGoldrick, Manager Client Services Wollongong. Department of Communities & Justice
“Jodie presented to the leadership team of Illawarra Shoalhaven Family & Community Services and nailed it. Jodie has a depth of knowledge in leadership, positive psychology, mental health/wellbeing at work and self care. I would highly recommend Jodie to any work group, she was easy to communicate with when developing the program to suit our needs and responded to our questions and queries with care.
Jodie was able to present information and internal statistics in a manner which was engaging and thought provoking, whilst giving leaders pratical advice and implementation strategies as soon as they left the room. The workshop was also fun and the energy Jodie created in the room was remarkable. As Jodie says, ‘relationships and other people matter’ so to get the best out of your team and time I wouldn’t hesitate in using Jodie again.”
