Bio
Nicole Forsythe
I worked with Jodi for two years as a co-trainer for the Nonprofit Leadership Institute hosted by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. She is a deep subject expert in social policy, nonprofit management, and leadership development. Jodi is also a fantastic leader in her ability to "read" groups, teach effectively to the level of her learners, and to envision and implement curriculum for groups of traditional students as well as busy practitioners in the field. I strongly recommend Jodi as a competent, creative, and confident partner in any venture.
