Imperative Inspiration

Jodi’s Story
I’ve always had a growth rather than a fixed mindset (Carol Dweck).
Born in Montreal, Quebec I attended McGill University and studied communications and was obsessed with understanding how we communicate to ourselves and the ways we behave with others – on both a conscious and subconscious level.
I moved to Vancouver to work in film and to act, yet I didn’t find acting all that fulfilling. I started searching for a career that would really feed me, on a deeper level. That’s when I decided – I should become a teacher!
The lights went on.
In no time I found myself graduating from the University of BC and landed a full-time job with the Vancouver School Board. For ten incredible years I taught acting, and more importantly character development and continued my own studies to earn a Masters of Education from UBC.
Year after year I’d focus on each student finding their own unique voice. I’d introduce topics of bullying, discrimination, mindfulness and positive relationship habits to my students to witness their vulnerability and life changing personal growth.
Self knowledge and acceptance is a super power. Consistent growth is a way to live a more connected, purposeful life. I’m passionate and skilled at facilitating this process for people.
In 2012, I founded Imperative Education to share my unique curricula based on experiential learning. Since then, I’ve been creating workshops for teachers, students, and corporate teams on mindfulness, self-care, social emotional intelligence, goal setting, bullying, and improvisation.
I look forward to working with you!
