” I am hoping to have the pleasure of partnering with Jodi for years to come …

Jodi is a dynamic and engaging presenter who does a wonderful job of incorporating real-world examples and stories into her presentations. While some people might think a presentation or talk on etiquette would be boring or common sense, our students consistently share that they really enjoy the program and all the advice and guidance Jodi shares.”
