What People Say

“I invited Jodie to speak at our inaugural wellness event, “The Mental Upgrade Live,” and she was a standout member of a uniquely talented group of speakers. Jodie delivered a powerful session focused on wellbeing, performance and real-world workplace experiences, bringing a lived-experience perspective that added genuine depth and authenticity. The audience was highly engaged throughout, and the feedback reflected how relatable, thought-provoking and practical her insights were; giving attendees a fresh way of thinking about both personal and professional performance. At RACE: Risk & Compliance Events, we’re looking forward to collaborating with Jodie on future events as we continue to grow our audience and expand geographically.”

“It was a real pleasure hearing Jodie speak at the RACE event in London. I was genuinely touched by her openness and the way she shared her neurodivergent lived experience with such honesty and strength. What really stayed with me was Jodie’s message around resilience, not just in pushing through, but in learning to understand and work with yourself. Her reflection on diagnosis also really resonated, how it can bring clarity, reduce self-blame, and create space for self-acceptance and growth. It was a powerful and important conversation, and I truly appreciated being part of it.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Jodie at a ‘Connects Network’, networking event in Keele, where she was booked as the speaker. Jodie’s presentation was emotional and inspiring, drawing on lived experience she applies her commercial background to offer sound and realistic advice for businesses and individuals to take on board. Jodie has a passion for educating the making changes for the better of the community and I look forward to witnessing what she goes on to achieve.”

“I saw Jodie speak at a networking event. She knows her subject. Properly knows it… the lived experience is real, the passion is unmistakeable, and the authenticity is the kind you cannot rehearse your way into. (People try. I have watched them try. It is painful for everyone involved.) As a fellow neurodivergent speaker, you just know. Someone is either talking about this from the inside or they are not… and Jodie very clearly is. (It is like hearing your own internal monologue come out of someone else’s mouth. Slightly alarming. Mostly just a relief.) Go and hear her.”

“I had the pleasure of hosting Jodie Steele on our Parenting Autism and ADHD podcast and was deeply impressed by her honesty and insight. She speaks powerfully about ADHD burnout, late diagnosis, and recovery, blending vulnerability, practical wisdom, and authentic humour. Her ability to turn lived experience into relatable, meaningful insight is remarkable—and this conversation continues to resonate with our audience.”

“Jodie is a living example of how you can transform your life when you take responsibility. She eloquently shares her story of chronic illness to overcoming many challenges – her resilience and determination really shine through. Jodie shows how ADHD hyperfocus can change your life when you focus on the right goal – the future you really want. She’s really easy to chat with after any talk that she does and you’ll soon find that parts of her story resonate with your own – especially if you’re a late diagnosed woman with ADHD.”

“I attended one of Jodie’s talks at Staffordshire Business School on Neurodiversity and AI. The presentation was incredibly informative and enlightening, made even more engaging through her real-life experiences. It’s clear that Jodie is both passionate and highly knowledgeable, and her work is inspiring meaningful change in how workplaces better accommodate and celebrate neurodiversity.”

“Jodie brings warmth, insight, and genuine depth to every conversation. Our podcast discussion was both meaningful and inspiring, and her perspective resonated long after we stopped recording.”
