Dr Jodi Richardson

I am absolutely thrilled to write this testimonial for Dr. Jodi Richardson, a remarkable speaker, author, and anxiety expert. Dr. Richardson's expertise in the field of anxiety is truly unparalleled, and her dedication to helping individuals overcome their struggles is truly inspiring. I had the privilege of attending many of Dr. Richardson's speaking engagements, and I was blown away by her depth of knowledge and her ability to connect with the audience. Her presentation was not only informative but also engaging and empowering.

When booking a speaker for a conference or presentation, there are many who hold the desired qualifications, knowledge and expertise; however, booking a speaker who is an engaging and commanding speaker is another skill set entirely. It’s a rare combination to discover a speaker who speaks with credibility, but who also has the audience in the palm of her hand from the get go and yet this is what places Dr. Jodi Richardson apart from other speakers. She is outstanding with regard to both content and delivery.

Dr Jodi came to my school to talk to Year 12 students about mental health awareness and what we should do if we're feeling anxious at such a busy time in our lives. She made it fun and engaging. The hour felt like 15 minutes. All my friends said they learned something they could use for the rest of their lives. She held the attention of all the students, making it entertaining and participative while giving us information and knowledge that we can use not only at school but to manage our feelings at home too. She used examples that were relatable to us and explained that it's ok to be anxious, you just have to know what to do. My friends and I were practising her breathing techniques on the way home from school later that day. I think every school kid would benefit from hearing Dr Jodi speak.

We are incredibly grateful to have had the esteemed Dr. Jodi Richardson present at Newport Lakes Primary School to the parent community. Her seminar, "Moving Kids from Anxiety to Resilience," was both insightful and profoundly helpful in addressing childhood anxiety. Dr. Richardson's depth of knowledge and her relatable, compassionate approach captivated the audience, providing parents with practical, evidence-based strategies to understand and reduce anxiety in their children. Her ability to break down complex mental health concepts into actionable advice, left parents feeling empowered and hopeful. We feel privileged to have hosted such an inspiring advocate for children's mental health and wellbeing, and we wholeheartedly recommend her presentations to any school or community looking to better support anxious children and foster resilience.

Jodi came and presented workshops on anxiety and mental health and teaching staff didn't stop talking about the sessions all day. There was certainly a level of energy in the room that I had not witnessed and experienced for a long time. Jodi is a wonderfully talented and engaging speaker who interacted with her audience throughout her time with us. Most importantly her authenticity and genuineness further enhanced her message and strategies. We are all looking forward to working with Jodi again. Jodi comes with my highest possible recommendation and endorsement.

What a great impact you have had on our parents and staff. So many people have appreciated the 'takeaways' from your presentation. It's the hot topic of conversation around here with lots of staff (and parents) asking if we will be doing it again!! So thank you so much for the excellent information you shared. For me it was great to have someone so relatable sharing their knowledge and expertise – a mum, a teacher, a well-being guru, a member of our community and most importantly someone who is not just "talking the talk", but "walking the walk". Your honesty and openness made it so easy for families to connect with you and the messages you shared.
