Full course description
Dr. Jody is back in Jordan due to popular demand. Jody Carrington will make you laugh, cry, and think during her presentation - Getting Back to the Best in Us. Come connect with Dr. Jody!
In a world where we’ve never been more connected and yet have never felt more alone, this keynote is a call back to what matters most: each other. Drawing on the heart of her work, Dr. Jody Carrington reminds us that we haven’t lost our capacity to be great, we’ve simply lost access to it. And the cost of that disconnection? Burnout, loneliness, and a whole lot of humans just trying to hold it together.
Through powerful storytelling, humor, and real talk, this keynote explores why we’re so overwhelmed, how disconnection shows up in our workplaces and relationships, and (most importantly) how we find our way back. Because the truth is simple (but not easy): when we feel seen, we rise.
This is a conversation about reclaiming our humanity, regulating our nervous systems, and reconnecting with the people who matter most, so we can get back to the best of who we are.
Expect to laugh, maybe tear up, and leave with practical, doable ways to reconnect, starting with yourself, and extending to every relationship you lead, love, and serve.
