If you are looking to elevate your thinking on leadership, management and the way we work, you need to book Jody Thompson. Jody's provocative and ground-breaking thinking on how to build a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) had our audience sitting up and paying attention. Her ability to challenge old ways of thinking about work with humour and directness is grounded with real-world experience that was highly relatable to our audience. Refreshing, pointed but still fun, Jody is the whole package. I could not recommend her highly enough.

G.R.M., PRESIDENT, THE ROUNDTABLE

The presentation to our Best Practices Conference was thought provoking, insightful, not to mention hilarious. Jody kept an audience of hard-nosed operators, and sometimes cynical human resources officers, engaged, challenged and informed about the seismic shift in workplace values that will ultimately impact everyone in the service sector. ROWE is a concept that might be slightly ahead of its time, but she is right in time to deliver the thought leadership that can change organizations.

J.T.D., CEO, PEOPLE REPORT

Jody's ease with this complex material, presented in a way that had our audience on the edge of their seats on a cold Monday morning, was a joy to watch. She builds rapport effortlessly, which she uses to get her audience talking and thinking critically about their shared workplace struggles. Her systematic approach to organizational goals and roles under the ROWE system can revitalize any organization and put it on the path to success and sanity. Her humor and charisma had everyone engaged, asking questions and digging into the content. I give her my highest recommendation as she is one of the best speakers I've seen.

J.K., EDUCATION AND OUTREACH DIRECTOR, AMERICAN COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING COMPANIES OF MN

Thank you for your brilliant facilitation of our Leadership Seminar. The buzz hasn't stopped! ROWE is a complete game changer for today's workforce. The philosophy of managing the work and not the people will help our organization engage the RIGHT people for the RIGHT roles and will no doubt help us reach our goal of being THE place to work. With growing expectations, the principle of completing our work when and how we need to is life changing for many.

W.H., EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, ATB BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURE

Jody was a terrific speaker for our network! She was engaging and insightful, helping leaders reflect on good practices that maximize their team's performance. I'd highly recommend her!

B.L., PRESIDENT, PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE NETWORK

Jody kicked off our state SHRM conference with great energy and thought-provoking ideas for the workplace! She knew the world our members work in, and spoke to the common problems we all see in organizations around separating contribution (results) and "time in chair." I would recommend Jody wholeheartedly if you want to get your audience thinking about real solutions and maximizing talent!

J.B., CO-CHAIR, TENNESSEE STATE SHRM CONFERENCE

This was a great thought leadership session as [Jody Thompson] is ahead of the curve in HR practices. There was probably more buzz created by this - lots of conversation and debate - than any of the other 15 or so sessions at this conference. It was, without a doubt, a worthwhile addition to the conference agenda.

B.D., EVP, ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL ADVERTISERS

Jody is an outstanding speaker and she delivered an excellent presentation to our Northern California CoreNet Chapter. I'd highly recommend Jody as a speaker!

A.S., SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, KENNEDY WILSON

On the basis of Jody’s outstanding presentation at The Conference Board Conference, it is my pleasure to recommend her as a speaker.

E.G., PRESIDENT, FAMILIES AND WORK INSTITUTE
