Bio: Hey! I’m Jodi. I’m a former fitness industry leader turned online CEO who is now working with Coaches to help them strategize, create consistency, and scale with a Group Coaching Offer. I’ve driven $16M+ in sales, led teams of 100+, and helped my clients DOUBLE (or more) their revenue year over year. I’m a seasoned leader & manager known for creating and implementing revenue-generating systems, building a strong team culture, empowering team members, and hiring the right people. In my corporate role as a Regional Manager,  I traveled across Canada and opened over 80 fitness clubs. I’ve interviewed, hired, and trained over 1000 personal trainers and managers and managed remote teams of up to 100+ members.  Now, I’m on a mission to help Coaches create Consistency in their businesses by implementing a Group Coaching model with recurring revenue so that they can ditch the revenue rollercoaster, easily scale with a team, and have a business and life that they love. I’ve been an Online Business Coach since 2013 and have generated multi-six figures by building relationships FIRST. I’ve built my clientele by hosting Virtual Dinner Parties, resulting in $26K+ in revenue from a SINGLE event, and helped my clients do the same, without any pushy, sleazy sales tactics, all while having FUN!!
