Hello, I’m Jody
Founder & CEO of Wildfire Learning
After nearly 20 years in the academic world, I've cultivated deep expertise in safety-oriented operations, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), communicative leadership, and designing team culture.
My academic background has led me to develop robust expertise in a range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and deep analytical skills. I've led (and collaborated on) many interdisciplinary projects, consistently bridging the gap between academia and industry. My expertise as an organizational communication and behavior theorist has equipped me with a pluralistic toolkit that yields creative problem-solving approaches and non-obvious solutions.
I have a track record of delivering high-quality deliverables and award-winning research. I (and my team) approach consulting engagements much like we do research: We bring in our analytical lenses on an issue, seek deep understanding through collaboration and data analysis, and we produce custom deliverables in an iterative manner to ensure high quality and fit.
Our Services
-
Integrated DEI
Many diversity, equity, and inclusion programs never benefit the frontline worker, despite upper management’s enthusiasm for these programs. Wildfire Learning can help your organization translate DEI values into supervisory actions and work practices that enhance equity, foster inclusion, and support diversity throughout your organization.
-
Leader Technique Program
Wildfire Learning provides leadership coaching for women and members of underrepresented groups. The Leader Technique™ Program is a group-based coaching program that builds the capabilities and confidence of women and minority leaders in the federal wildland fire service, directly supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Designing Learning Cultures
Many organizations try to create a learning culture while maintaining a compliance/violation orientation toward accidents, and it never works. If you want to implement a “learning” or “just” culture in your organization, it’s crucial that the learning priority underpins every aspect of your technical documentation cycle - from policy, through standardized training, routines & procedures, incident investigation processes, and learning-oriented products.
