Being Human is the Future of Work
Learning Labs, Speaking Events & the Human at Work Program
I bring together more than 25 years of experience in human resources, organizational behaviour and facilitation with my own ideas about intentionality and how we influence one another.Through interactive learning labs and speaking engagements, I invite people to explore how we show up at work, navigate relationships and create more human workplaces.
Learning Labs
Exploring personality traits, communication and conflict styles, and the patterns and habits that shape our behaviour.
Communication & Collaboration Understanding different perspectives, intelligences, personal values and mindsets, and how they influence the way we communicate and work with others.
Life Balance Exploring wellness, personal capacity, and our personal mission, vision and purpose to better navigate the demands of everyday life.
Speaking Events
Speaking events are designed for conferences, retreats, team gatherings, and community conversations that want to spark reflection, deepen understanding, and invite a more human-centred approach to work. Keynotes and other speaking engagements can be tailored to the needs of the event and the audience, with themes that connect insight, practice, and meaningful dialogue.

Learning & Speaking Logistics
Learning Labs and Speaking Events can be delivered in person or online, with the length and format tailored to the content, audience interests and learning objectives. Each experience is developed in conversation with you to create something that meets your group's needs.
From individual behaviour to team dynamics and organizational culture, my Learning Labs and Speaking Events explore a range of topics across three areas: Hey You, Hey Team and Hey Culture.
Learning labs offer focused, practical learning experiences for teams, organizations, and groups who want to strengthen how people communicate, make decisions, and work together. Sessions can be delivered in-person or online with content shaped around your people, your context, and the conversations that matter most.

Human at Work Program
An immersive, cohort-based learning experience offered in person or virtually for people whose work involves making decisions about others. Designed for people working in human resources and people management, including program coordinators, office managers, managers and directors, the program requires a minimum of 10 participants per cohort.
The program explores how our choices influence the people we work with, the structures and cultures we create, and the organizational mandates we're responsible for carrying out. Drawing on Jodi's first book, Be Human at Work, each cohort explores three interconnected areas through reflection, conversation and practical activities:
Way of Being, Way of Doing and Way of Interacting.
Way of Being
At the individual level, this focus area centres the inner work of being human at work — how people see themselves, make sense of situations, and show up in the roles they hold. Topics include self-awareness, intelligences, values, mindset, and identity.
The intention is to help individuals feel more grounded, thoughtful, and capable in the people realities they navigate every day.
Way of Doing
At the team level, the focus is on how work happens in shared spaces — how people organize, coordinate, and carry out the work together. Topics include roles, expectations, collaboration, decision-making, and diversity of thought.
The aim is for teams to feel more confident and steady in how they work together, with practical ways to navigate real work and relationships more thoughtfully.
At the culture level, the focus is on the patterns of interaction and practice that shape everyday experience across the organization. Topics include norms, stories, power, people practices, and how decisions ripple throughout a social system over time.
The goal is for organizations to see clearly and act with greater intention, so the way work is held better reflects the values they say matter.
Way of Interacting

Jodi has a way of speaking that makes you feel you are having a coffee in her living room.” — Christina Cann, Program Manager
Jodi was one of the best facilitators I’ve ever had. She interacted with everyone and answered every question asked.
— Gilles Verret, Executive Director
Your training was great to have our staff engage with one another in a comfortable and fun way and I learned lots about myself and others which will help me be more strategic and effective in my leadership style.
- Monte Bromley, Detachment Commander
Attending your workshop really has me thinking in terms of setting up an ‘intentional framework’ – not just at work, but for a complete life. The parts of this framework will be composed of the dimensions of wellness, future intentions mapped out with a vision and plan to get there, and progress measured by both achievement of the plan , and the impact it has on myself, my family and my team.
Thank you for this opportunity, as well as having delivered such a profound session.
- Erik Lieut, Officer in Charge
Amazing! Thank you for bringing the humanity to the conference. This presentation energized me and validates how important it is to remember that we are humans being, not humans doing. This is important work! Thank you, thank you!!!
