Biography

Clinical Psychologist Dr. Jody Carrington

Before becoming one of the most beloved keynote speakers in the world, Jody Carrington was a Civilian Member of the Canadian national police force, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. During that time, she fell in love with understanding what trauma can do to organizations and family systems.

She earned her Master’s and PhD, both in Clinical Psychology and during her residency, dove deep into how trauma can so deeply impact kids and families. After ten years of helping children in a locked psychiatric inpatient unit, she started her private practice. Jody realized that if the people leading weren’t okay, then the children, teams, and organizations following them didn’t stand much of a chance.

Jody’s unique resume of clients – from kids to major institutions – provides her with the insights and depth of experience to present unmatched value to her audiences. Her core message resonates with everyone from her practice to the world stage: our power lies in our ability to acknowledge each other first.

Beloved Author & Keynote Speaker

Today, Dr. Jody Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she’s written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington.

Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding how we got to such a disconnected, overwhelmed, lonely, and burned-out world. She boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; but so many of us, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to it. What do we need to put the pieces back together, and most importantly, how do we collectively do “the work” to find our way back when (not if) we disconnect and burn out again? Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.

“Spending my days helping other people figure out their stories too – in their organizations, in their teams, and in their families – has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. And most days, I feel like we’re just getting started.”

Navigating Change: Reconnection & Resilience in Leadership

In today’s ever-evolving business landscape, organizations face unprecedented challenges that demand agility and resilience. Dr. Jody Carrington, an expert in clinical psychology and workplace leadership, believes that the key to thriving in times of change lies in the ability to reconnect, rebuild, and lead from a place of authenticity and purpose.

This keynote addresses the essentials of change management that are often overlooked: building and maintaining strong relationships, fostering a culture of resilience, and reigniting purpose within teams.

Drawing from real-world experiences in leading organizations through complex times, Dr. Jody motivates leaders to take a proactive approach to change by empowering their teams to adapt and thrive.

With a combination of thought-provoking insights and light-hearted, uplifting (and hilarious) stories, audiences leave not only inspired but armed with the practical strategies and tools they need to manage change effectively, reignite their passion, and navigate the complexities of the modern workplace.

Key Takeaways:

Reconnecting Amidst Change: How healthy team dynamics and foundational relationships drive change success.
Building Mental Resilience: Tackling burnout and emotional exhaustion to sustain productivity and creativity.
Leading with Purpose: Using empathy, humor, and authenticity to inspire teams through uncertainty.

Decoding Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence has long been discussed as a requirement for “soft skills” in organizations (the things considered secondary after ensuring policies and procedures are firmly in place). Turns out, however, that the most mentally well, productive, and best-led teams have a clear understanding of emotional intelligence. Despite technological advances that allow for efficiency and less face-to-face connection than ever before, we cannot automate relationships.

In this talk, Dr. Carrington helps audiences understand how to better perceive, control, and evaluate emotions, both in yourself and others. This leads to more impactful leadership, reduces experiences of burnout, and helps people better navigate challenging conversations and change.

From a neuro-physiological perspective, we will walk through what it means to access the best parts of ourselves and our employees and discuss practical, easily implemented strategies to create the most successful, connected teams.

Trauma: Reconnecting the Disconnections

Celebrated clinical psychologist Dr. Jody Carrington reminds us that it’s never about what’s wrong with you; it’s about what has happened to you – and, more importantly, how you make sense of it all. As a former Civilian Member of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and a clinical psychologist working with children and families managing significant trauma, Dr. Jody combines research and experience to highlight the importance of understanding trauma from a systems level as the key to healthy, productive employees. Her ability to explain the effects of trauma and the often-isolating costs of enduring difficult things will leave audiences inspired and with a clear direction forward on how to rebuild organizations and families.

Reignite: Building Resilience in the Age of Burnout

Many organizations continue to witness the impact of burnout, with reduced morale, low productivity, and a lack of innovation. Unfortunately, emotional exhaustion, a lack of compassion, and a feeling of futility have become common experiences for many teams.

In this keynote, Dr. Jody provides specific strategies to shift culture, combat burnout, and build mental resilience. She brings hilarity and truth while reigniting purpose and productivity with this game-changing talk.

Leadership: Taking the Wheel in Complex Times

As a clinical psychologist and practitioner within various organizations, Dr. Jody Carrington believes that every successful team must have the inherent ability to repair and reconnect if they ever hope to serve their clients well.

In this keynote, Jody addresses the essentials of leadership that are often overlooked – building healthy foundational relationships that foster a positive, dynamic workplace. By combining her expertise as a workplace leader and clinical psychologist, Dr. Jody motivates leaders and teams to change their team-building approach from the inside out.

Bringing fresh ways of thinking to classic problems and sharing uplifting (and hilarious) stories to elevate the message, audiences leave inspired and empowered to make change.

Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World

Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together—a reconnection revolution.

Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn’t enough any longer. Connection is what we’re wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbor, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we’ve been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we’re feeling seen, we will rise.

Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see—in ourselves as well as one another—our differences, our sorrows and our joys.
