She grew and managed collaborative relationships with industry partners such as AMD, Intel and Microsoft to deliver products that solved real problems for developers.

She is driven by her passion to end the suffering so many experience as a result of our current systems, and empower truly equal and healthy partnerships. Outside of her professional life, Jodie is also a singer/songwriter and producer which adds to the presence and connection she brings to storytelling and thought leadership.

If you think of clear communication like a foreign language that most people just haven't learned, now imagine if we had an app that translates what we say into a conscious, calm, and effective statement. We can all learn over time how to be clear and intentional and create the vocabulary and agreements necessary for successful relationships. When we begin to communicate more honestly, a complete reimagining of the way we partner becomes possible.
