to Speak
Jodee Gibson doesn't just talk about behavior, she reveals what lies beneath it.
With 30+ years at the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, and human development, Jodee has built a reputation for delivering keynotes that are as transformative as they are unforgettable. Trained by Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Richard Bandler, Jodee is the creator of Embodied Behavior™, a groundbreaking framework that helps organizations understand why people do what they do, and how to create sustainable change.
She's worked with Google, the University of Michigan, the National Institutes of Health, and healthcare systems and school districts nationwide.
Here's what makes Jodee different → Her candor is as powerful as her lived experience.
From teen mom to PhD Candidate, she doesn't deliver polished corporate platitudes, she brings raw, real, research-backed truth with humor, heart, and an invitation to look inward. Audiences leave her keynotes not just informed, but transformed, with practical tools and a deeper understanding of themselves and the people around them.
Jodee is the founder of The Elephant & Willow Project, a nonprofit dedicated to trauma prevention and community healing. She's an Award-Winning Author (Healing Your Map, IPPY Silver Award winner), a PhD candidate in Human Development, and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). She's also a sought-after facilitator navigating the behavioral health crisis, from primary care physicians who've become ‘mental health first responders’ to educators managing classrooms in crisis.
