“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.
“The [Positive Leadership] session was a fabulous opportunity to step back, gain insights and ideas. Some will have immediate benefits and others we can roll out across the year to check in, maintain quality leadership and a continue to grow a strong positive team culture.”

“Jodie spent time with our corporate services team helping us to develop a wellbeing framework and reinforcing the importance of embracing positive emotions in the workplace. Jodie’s delivery style is personal and engaging and has inspired the team to continue with the many techniques and practices explored during her work with us.”

“I recently attended Jodie Cooper’s “Public Speaking Course”… and all I can say is WOW! What I love the most about Jodie’s sessions is the positive mindset that you can’t help but walk away with. I am excited to reflect and build upon and the frameworks Jodie shared and walked away from the session feeling inspired and ready to tackle my upcoming public speaking responsibilities. So thank you Jodie for sharing your expertise and building my motivation and confidence to tackle my public speaking fears.”

“Loved! Loved! Loved! Would be great to do annually. I feel like I’ve had a weeks vacation and my batteries rechared. Loved the positive reinforcement.”

“Thanks for sharing your presentation Breaking The Cycle Of Stress recently, it was one of the most practical and easy to understand sessions on this topic I have ever attended!
It’s great to have the information to understand why we get stressed in the first place and some practical exercises we can use straight away to help manage stress. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”
Liza Rodger, Associate Director Student Recruitment, University of Wollongong
“Thanks so much for today – the team and I loved the session and you have given us a lot to think about and work on.”
Danielle Pearson, Director. Sapphire Conveyancing
I had the pleasure of attending one of Jodie’s workshop/presentations here in Merimbula and have to say it was one of the best I have ever been too. I arrived feeling a little nervous and left with so much positivity and confidence. I’ve already contacted Jodie for further coaching. If you get the chance to attend any of Jodie’s presentations, I thoroughly recommend attending, you won’t be disappointed!
Kristi Sproates, Founder. Appy Connections
“I met Jodie when she came to Bega to deliver a workshop as an addition to a small business education program. Many of us in the group where at a point in the program where we felt overwhelmed. Immediately, Jodie’s delivery method and enthusiasm altered us into a different way of thinking and doing. Jodie offered learning strategies and exercises that allowed us to explore our own gifts and also gave us many many practical tools to implement now and in the future. My little sticker on my mirror may be small but it is a powerful reminder to look after me, appreciate me and then I can be my best self to give to others . Win Win really! Since then Jodie has offered mentoring both formally and informally. Jodie gets to the guts of your issue and helps you to put it all in perspective and lead from the heart. Thanks Jodie”
Julie Novotny, Owner/Director. Local Business Connections Bega
Thank you Jodie for presenting at the recent Breakfast Collaboration.
Jodie’s talk gave a whole new spin on Networking and its importance to one’s business. Her enthusiasm filled the room with excitement and some of her tips and methods to loosen up before entering a room full of strangers gave us all a bit of entertainment. She was certainly able to bring the room alive and it was great to see that everyone enjoyed the interactions, leaving them feeling a lot more confident in their abilities to network in the future.
I would certainly recommend Jodie as a guest speaker to anyone that was looking to liven up their presentations or events and instill some positive vibes into their work environment.
