One-on-One vs. Group Coaching
One-on-one coaching provides you with an intimate, customized, 100% focused-on-you-experience with a dedicated coach that can help you gain momentum very quickly depending on how open and honest you are with your wants and needs (don’t worry -- we will work together to figure out all the big and little things that you want for you and your business!).
Group coaching connects you with a business coach in a dedicated virtual or in-person setting with a specific topic or theme for the group such as working on your business goals and plan.
But what makes SMART courses and group coaching unique is that you are intentionally surrounded by a support network of ambitious, like-minded, driven business owners with whom you can share your experiences and lessons with, ask questions, celebrate your successes, ask for help with challenges, and know that there is a dedicated support team behind you every step of the way.
SMART courses and group coaching encourages you to grow with a business coach by your side, as well as a new network of colleagues, peers, friends, and new potential clients or referral sources!
Plus, all courses and group coaching programs are neurodiverse-friendly.
Is a course or group coaching program right for you?

Do you want to feel inspired and be a part of something bigger than you? Be a part of your own success story but also a contributor to the success stories of others too?
Do you struggle with dedicating time to work ON your business (specifically developing and staying committed to your goals)? Would a structured, supportive and collaborative group environment motivate you and help you stay accountable?
If you answered ‘yes!’, keep reading to learn how you can join one of the SMART courses and group coaching programs in 2025.

I seek to co-create safer spaces through collaboration and respect of the inherent dignity and diversity of all people.
Testimonial
“Jodi is an INCREDIBLE business coach. Admittedly, I did not think coaching was something I would be into, boy was I wrong. Jodi ran the Small Business grant program I was fortunate to be part of at Hamilton City Hall, and I thoroughly enjoyed her personality and teaching style. So signing up to work with her through Work Smart was an obvious choice for me. Jodi is honest and direct, yet kind and fun to talk to, she will not waste your time with fake platitudes.
I HIGHLY recommend her programs if you want to take your small business to the next level.”

The Smart Way to
Push Play on Your Goals
Goal setting is not just about writing words on paper.
It’s about creating a plan to implement them, manage them and be accountable to them.
I understand that for some, setting goals in the past didn’t work out or may have overwhelmed or even disappointed you.
But setting goals for your business is crucial for it’s success.
And it’s success is your success.
I have helped business owners set and plan goals for over 10 years.
And now, I want to help you!
I have designed a goal setting and action planning system that shows you a clearer, simpler way of creating goals AND following through.
This three-part monthly series include hands-on planning sessions to:
Learn about goal setting.
Create real, applicable, actionable goals.
Lay out a plan to achieve each goal.
Learn about the importance of personal commitment and how to hold ourselves accountable for completing each goal.
How to continue creating new goals in the future.
Each session is 90-minutes and includes interactive exercises, personalized homework and accountability check-ins after each session attended.
Is this a good fit for you?
Have you given up on setting goals for your business?
Are you frustrated by the lack of follow-through or ‘success’ with past goal setting practices?
Are you an existing business owner who is struggling to build and grow your business?
Are you a business owner who is not hitting your goals, questioning why you aren’t growing, or thinking about giving up?
Are you a business owner who wants to grow but doesn’t know how to grow or what to do next?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the questions above, then you in the right place!
This three-part workshop is designed to work together to understand a personalized way to set goals and create a plan of action, not just get excited to write words on paper and then forget about them …

“Jodi was a pleasure to work with. She was approachable & knowledgeable. I completed her Accountability Course for my business, and found each session a good combination of structured topics and tasks, paired with time for questions, discussion, and feedback.
I wouldn't hesitate to take any courses she offers in the future, and am even considering her one on one coaching services.”
