<big>Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.</big>

<big>Fotini Iconomopoulos is a globally recognized keynote speaker, negotiation expert, and trusted advisor in the areas of communication, leadership, and influence. She’s the bestselling author of Say Less, Get More, and a frequent resource for Fortune 500 companies looking to navigate high-stakes conversations and drive meaningful outcomes.</big>

<big>Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.</big>

<big>With two decades of experience across 170+ industries and six continents, Fotini has delivered results for global brands including Microsoft, Walmart, and Rolls-Royce. Her approach blends behavioral science, sharp commercial insight, and real-world application to help professionals communicate with confidence and influence with integrity.</big>

<big>Dr. 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. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.</big>

<big>HarperCollins invited her to write her book after seeing her featured in media outlets like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, CBC, and CNN. In addition to keynote speaking and consulting, she teaches MBA Negotiations in Toronto and internationally.</big>

 

<big>When she’s not on stage or with clients, Fotini is often scouting her next beach destination. She’s collected a number of awards for her work but the one she’s most proud of is her “World’s Greatest Aunt” title for bringing her nieces along for the adventure.</big>
