Engagements

Not your Typical keynote.

Not Your Typical Speaker.

And definitely not your typical experience.

CLARITY. CONFIDENCE. PERMISSION TO WANT MORE.

If you’re looking for someone to tiptoe around the truth, flip through a dull PowerPoint, or politely inspire people to “do their best”…

Yeah.... that’s NOT me.

I bring energy, honesty, and conversations that actually move people.

The kind that make your audience laugh, think, tear up, and walk out ready to do something different.

I don’t come to entertain. I come to shift something. And your people will feel it.

When I hit the stage, Expect:

Big Energy
Real, relatable stories
No-fluff strategy
Disarming honesty
A little sass
A LOT of “Holy crap… I needed that” moments

This isn’t motivation that fades by Monday.

This is the spark that sticks.

THE POWER COMBO: CORPORATE LEGEND + ENTREPRENEUR ON FIRE

I didn’t wake up one day and magically find this voice.

I spent over 20 years in corporate leadership, rising to Vice President of Human Resources, overseeing 4,000 employees across the globe.

I lived in boardrooms, on airplanes, and under the pressure of decisions that impacted entire organizations.

And then one day,after giving everything I had,

my boss said:
“YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT.”

So I did what most people only dream about.

I walked away. On the spot.

From there, I rebuilt my life from the ground up. VALUES, first.
From painting furniture in my garage during COVID…
to building businesses alongside my husband…
to coaching, speaking, hosting events, and writing a book that people lined up to purchase before they even know the title.

NOW I BRING, BOTH WORLDS TO YOUR STAGE:

Executive-level insight
Entrepreneurial grit
Storytelling that lands
Coaching energy that gets people moving

It’s a combination audiences don’t expect and never forget

SIGNATURE TALKS

Permission Granted

A raw, real keynote about choosing yourself, honoring your values, and having the courage to walk away from what looks “good on paper” to build what’s actually aligned.

This talk gives people permission to trust themselves again — and make bold, intentional moves forward.

Ignite your Fire

For audiences who feel stuck, flat, or disconnected from the version of themselves they know is in there.

Through powerful storytelling and honest reflection, this keynote reignites confidence, motivation, and momentum — helping people reconnect with what drives them and move forward with purpose.

Chaos to Clarity

When overwhelm becomes the default, this keynote helps people slow the noise, reset their focus, and find a clear path forward.

Audiences walk away feeling lighter, more focused, and equipped with simple, practical tools they can use immediately.

A MESSAGE BUILT FOR YOUR EVENT

No two audiences are the same and your event shouldn’t feel like a copy-and-paste keynote.

I work closely with event planners, leaders, and organizers to shape each talk around your people, your goals, and your energy, so the message feels authentic, relevant, and impactful.

If you’re not sure which talk fits best, we’ll figure it out together.

ready to bring this energy to your next event?

If your organization, conference, or leadership team is craving clarity, confidence, and real transformation - I’d love to be part of it.

Let’s create a message your audience won’t forget.

Hearing Jodi’s story about her road to authenticity was truly inspiring. She reminded us that doing hard things and embracing discomfort are essential parts of truly knowing ourselves. Her courage in sharing her journey encourages others to do the same, proving that our stories have the power to shape the communities and world we live in—one voice at a time.

I can’t wait for her book to hit the stands later this year and inspire so many to be bold in their decisions, BeReal about what they want in life, and go after it with confidence.
