Her story

As a risk-taking thought leader, Jodee compels leaders...

Jodee Gibson is a Human Behavior Architect™ whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and human development. She is known for stepping into the places most systems avoid, where behavior is misunderstood, complexity is oversimplified, and human experience is managed instead of understood.

As a college professor and sought-after speaker, Jodee brings a rare blend of intellectual depth and real-world application. Her work challenges inherited models of mental health and leadership while equipping leaders to recognize the forces shaping the people, and systems they lead.

Jodee’s lens is layered in developmental psychology, neuroscience, systems theory, professional coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, and interpersonal trauma research. She helps leaders identify early signs of relational trauma and developmental disruption, not just in individuals, but embedded within the structures and cultures they inherit.

She takes risks.
She blurs lines.
And her ability to articulate the interconnectedness of systems is beyond measure.

Her work invites leaders to think differently, stay longer, and act more responsibly in the face of complexity.

Jodee’s perspective is shaped by a nonlinear path through the very systems she now helps redesign. From teen mom to PhD candidate, Jodee’s perspective is influenced by the very systems she now helps redesign. As a scholar—practitioner, she brings lived experience and rigorous research to life. Her client list includes AVCA, the National Institutes of Health, the International Coaching Federation, the University of California, and the University of Michigan. She is the author of Healing Your Map, a critically acclaimed exploration of relational trauma and human development, which received the 2023 IPPY Silver Medal in Psychology/Mental Health. 

Though widely regarded as a leading expert, she will always remain a student of her craft, creating systemic change in the world of mental health. Based in Oakland County, Michigan, Jodee is a proud mother of two and delivers her coaching and speaking engagements on a global stage.

Jodee was named Top 15 Coaches in Detroit in 2021 & 2023.
