Keynote Speaker|Corporate Trainer

Here’s what you can expect from me:
 
Prompt, professional replies to your phone calls and email messages.
 
A personal phone consultation prior to your event, so we can better understand how I can best serve you and your audience.
 
An announcement about your event on my blog and social media channels. (This assumes that your event is open to the public and you want additional visibility for it.)
 
A professionally prepared, dynamically delivered presentation focused on achieving the outcomes you want with your audience.
 
A quick follow-up communication after the event with someone on my team, to make sure I met your expectations. (I also want to know how you think I can improve.)

Corporations around the world are struggling to attract and retain Millennials (Generation Y) as both employees and consumers. I provide practical strategies for connecting companies with these young professionals, especially on how to attract, recruit, onboard, retain, and develop them.

Jody's clients benefit from relevant, clear, and proven solutions to manage, engage, and market to the emerging generations. He designs & deliver customized keynotes and programs for corporations and campuses to develop the next generation of leaders.

Jody's mission is to leave people and things better than he finds them. His desire is to help you make the right decisions because DECISIONS DETERMINE DESTINY.

As a former youth pastor and young adult minister, Jody's heart is to speak transparently to the next generation of leaders, empowering you them to be the very best version of themselves possible, at work, school, and play.

Jody founded a grassroots organization and a non-profit organization. He has worked with city municipalities, school superintendents, civic leaders, and parents to promote leadership development of young people.

As an author, Jody is working on my first book which releases this fall, Decisions Determine Destiny. The book is a co-labor of love with my son, Dominique. In the book, like in the talk Decisions Determine Destiny, Jody shares the very personal story of his eldest son Dominique’s tragic accident that left him lying motionless and unconscious on a dirt, back road in rural Georgia, in the wee hours of the morning. Dominique is determined to take control of his destiny through making better decisions and encourage others to do the same in life.

​Jody provides strategies and lessons that will give you immediate and lasting results.
