Dr. Jody Carrington

In our technologically advancing world, you will never be able to automate your relationships. Talking about difficult subjects like burnout, anxiety, trauma, and the loneliness epidemic is necessary. However, Dr. Jody has mastered an approach that makes these topics easily accessible and inspirational through a unique combination of expertise and humor unlike any other professional in the mental health and organizational wellness space. Most importantly, she makes sure audiences know exactly what they need to do to stay connected and motivated after they leave her keynote.

She speaks with organizations from 10 to 10,000 people, working closely to customize her keynote for your audiences’ challenges and your event’s objectives, so if the suggested topics below do not fit your needs, schedule a Zoom call with Dr. Jody and the MPG team to discuss tailoring her keynote for your event.

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.

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.
