Experience Jo-Dee Speaking

Here’s an example of me speaking at an earlier stage of my career. A new professional speaker showreel is currently in production, but this gives you a feel for my energy, audience interaction and speaking style.

What People Say

“There are so many stuffy meetings and events—many of them with CEOs. Jo-Dee is exactly what you need: heartfelt, warm and funny, but with an extremely serious business message within the laughter.”
Stephen J. Whitton, Mission Critical Mindset (Speaker & Coach)
“You will laugh all the way to the bank through her talks. Jo-Dee’s energy is just outstanding.”
Rohit Bassi, Global Keynote Speaker
“Jo-Dee’s natural talent for making a room feel relaxed and comfortable was immediate. The entire room was roaring with laughter.”
Sarah Bosley, Senior Policy Advisor, Kent MS Therapy Centre
“If you want to appreciate life, listen to her. If you want to understand how to cope with stress, listen to her. If you want to spread happiness, listen to her—she gets it right.”
