HR Work from
Intention to Impact

Many business owners, executive directors, and managers reach a point where people decisions start to feel unclear. Often, that uncertainty comes from caring deeply about doing the right thing — wanting to avoid harm, reduce frustration, and make decisions that are fair to the people involved and sound for the work itself.

All HR Guidance and Workplace Projects are grounded in Intentification® — an approach that pays attention to what’s driving an intention, how it turns into action, and the impact it creates.

This work often begins with understanding where things are today, clarifying what you want to change, and building a practical path forward that fits your organization and the humans in it.

By examining intention, action, and impact together, HR work becomes more aligned, defensible, and effective — supporting both accountability and care.

This approach shows up in two distinct but complementary ways — through HR Guidance, when a situation needs careful navigation in the moment, and through Workplace Projects, when there is an opportunity to intentionally shape how people work happens over time.

Both are designed to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and care.

HR Guidance might involve a performance concern, conflict, or a people decision that feels unclear. Using a coaching-style approach grounded in curiosity and inquiry, the focus is on helping you understand what’s happening, consider your options, and move forward with confidence and care.

HR Guidance Deliverables:

• Deep, focused conversations to understand the situation and your perspective

• In-depth analysis of what’s happening and why

• A clear summary of observations and key themes

• Research synthesis based on employment law and organizational behaviour practices

• Practical, tailored recommendations for next steps

• A prioritized action plan to support informed decision-making

• Follow-up guidance conversations

• Email support

How the work is structured:
HR Guidance can be provided as one-time support for a specific situation, typically over one to two months, or as ongoing guidance through a one-year engagement for organizations that want steady support as people decisions arise.

Workplace Projects

Workplace Projects may include a workplace audit, organizational restructures and policy creation. The work draws on both appreciative inquiry — identifying what’s working — and critical inquiry, which examines gaps, risks, and areas where systems need to change.

Workplace Projects Deliverables:

• Regular meetings with project leads impacted/involved

• Data collection from people impacted by project via surveys and/or focus groups

• A report of observations, research findings, gaps, and opportunities

• Research synthesis based on employment law and organizational behaviour practices

• Tailored steps and milestones for project execution

• A project action plan with prioritized steps

• Customized tools, polices, procedures, and resources

• Ongoing project and implementation support

• Regular check-ins and updates to track progress

How the work is structured:
Workplace Projects are scoped and defined as time-bound engagements, typically ranging from three to twelve months depending on the complexity of the work. The approach is structured and collaborative.

Whether you’re navigating a specific people situation or thinking more intentionally about how work is set up, we can start with a conversation.

Next Steps

Jodi, I'm glad to have gotten to know you and benefit from your coaching skills and wisdom. I don’t hesitate to give my witness that your coaching has helped me get past some obstacles that were weighing me down in my career. Your coaching was instrumental in helping me gain a new perspective and find the strength and hope that I needed to get to a higher ground when the floods start pouring in as they do every week at work. Thank you for taking the time to work with me!

I do want people to know how great an experience it is to work with, be coached, and just be able to talk to you. I have been drawn to your engaging, open, real, and enthusiastic personality since we met many years ago - it was this connection that led me to reach out to you for some coaching. I have been in a troubled place since my role has changed. I have wanted to quit so many times, but decided that I need to take a new approach to my job so that I could get some sense of joy out of it again. I signed up to coach with you unsure of an exact game plan but with an open mind. In our time together you helped me push past the crap, set some goals, accept my role in my work journey, and not give up on the things that are important to me.

Client Experience

I just wanted to send a quick note and let you know how much I appreciate your coaching and guidance during this last year. You have helped me work through some very difficult topics at work. You have guided and coached me in my professional development and personally with some interpersonal issues. Thank you so much Jodi, for your compassion, your understanding, your authenticity, and most of all showing up for me when there was no one else I could turn to. I value your input and advice and I was able to get over some past hurdles and baggage I was carrying with me - you helped me see that it is OK to drop it.

After getting the proverbial tires stuck in the mud and unsure how to get out, I decided to try out coaching. My sessions with Jodi were inspiring, relieving, insightful, and energizing. They helped me move forward, discover what is truly important to me, and help me see my situation from a different perspective. I highly recommend coaching with Jodi.
