At The Core

Jess Gartner, Founder & CEO, Allovue

Growing a business is often messy and painful, but leaders are expected to be poised and pulled-together. All that messiness needs an outlet somewhere, and Jodi is often mine. Serving as equal parts sounding board & thought partner, she always helps me process the jumble into something useful and strategic. 

Shane Jette, CEO, Facility Improvement Corporation

I'm typically a decisive person but I was pretty stuck and balled up on a decision that needed to be made. Jodi quickly helped me unravel the interactive pieces to have clarity in how to move forward. In the span of just two, one-hour phone calls, I had confidence in my way forward. I highly recommend Jodi for leaders looking for decision support. She's great at it and has a fabulous, infectious energy. 

Jodi does a tremendously good job at helping navigate the messy emotional dimensions of leadership and people management, which is not to take away from her equally great mind for strategy and execution, but I think it’s a key differentiator for her versus some of the more tactical/operational coaches out there.

John Bennett, Senior VP of Indirect Sales, Constellation Energy

I call Jodi when the things that are most important to me feel out of sync. I call her when I'm sensing a conflict between what I feel I have to do and what my core is telling me I need/want to do. I call Jodi when I have an unease at the intersection of home/profession/self that I just can't seem to put my finger on.. Or I have my finger on it, but then I just don't know what to do with it... Or I know what to do with it, but I want to check in with someone else who sees and gets My big picture and can provide insight/support/guidance on How I might do it. 

Cristen Pascucci, Founder, Birth Monopoly

I call Jodi when I can’t get to the bottom of a business decision and feel paralyzed or wrapped in confusion, and I suspect there is an emotional component to what is happening for me. Before I talk to her, I feel confused and angsty. Afterwards, I feel clear and excited. 

Rich Polt, Founder, Acknowledge Media

Jodi’s doesn’t just work from the sidelines. She dives into the fray with her clients… partnering with them, learning with them, and helping them to achieve the outcomes that may have once thought unattainable. 

I’ve worked with numerous coaches and consultants who tout their patented systems for growth and success, but those one-size-fit-all approaches lack utility and often fall well short of the mark. Jodi doesn’t pretend to already know what’s right for you. She embraces the inherent messiness of life and business, and helps clients develop strategies that are unique to their specific styles, circumstances, and tendencies. 

Beth Lawrence, Co-Founder & CEO - InferCabulary

With Jodi skillfully at the helm, there was never a single minute wasted getting to the core of issues or concerns we face as leaders, and then problem-solving real solutions.  

Carol Keese, VP of Communications, University of Virginia

Jodi has the remarkable ability to be both brutally honest and entirely gracious at the same time. 

Chris Sleat, Founder/CEO, Workbench 

Jodi won’t ever let you lie to yourself. Having a spot where I could discuss real founder-CEO specific issues while also covering my personal and family well being was amazing.

Robert Lord, Co-Founder, Protenus

Jodi is an advisor to many CEOs and founders in the region, and someone I know to have great judgment and insight in some of the most important matters that leaders face (often about themselves). 

Paul Wolman, Founder & CEO, PW Feats

Jodi has a remarkable ability to see, synthesize, distill and articulate core issues that help others grow.

CEO, Professional Services Firm

There’s so much I just can’t share with my team. My friends don’t really get my business, and while I talk to my spouse about a lot, I worry sometimes that’s a burden. Jodi just seems to get it. No matter what IT is, she’s so quick at digesting it all and identifying what the core issue is. And because she doesn’t have a horse in the game, I feel like I can tell her anything. She’s also just really easy to talk to.

COO, National Non-Profit

Jodi never holds back on the truth. But she’s just as fierce about making you see and accept the good stuff as she is unafraid to tell you when you’re being an idiot.

Founder, PR Firm

You know how when your inkjet printer starts printing gaps and lines, you know it’s time to clean the print heads? Well, when my brain feels that way, I know I need to call Jodi. When I hang up, I’m clear. I know what I need to do.
