Jodi Blackwood

“Never define yourself by where you sit on an org chart. It is feedback that has stuck with me for over 30 years. Whether on the top of the chart or at the bottom of the page, complacency is not an option. True leaders strive to be better tomorrow than they were today. Let me help you be better tomorrow.”
