Put Jodie on your stage and the room doesn't just listen. It shifts. Identity-level reframes, delivered live, that people feel in their body long after the applause. She works where identity meets operations: the structure to scale, and the woman to lead it.

The throughline
My work lives where identity meets operations: the structure to scale, and the woman to lead it. Radical Alignment is the throughline of everything I speak and write about. And beyond keynotes, I partner with a select few masterminds and programmes as an associate coach.
What I see
The thing capping the business is rarely operational.
Most businesses are sold the operational fix. More systems, more funnels, more structure. But the thing capping the business is rarely operational. It's the woman running it, and the gap between who she is and how she's operating. That's what I speak about.
"She made alignment feel not just necessary, but possible. Like something you deserved. Like something you could claim."
— Tracy Kearns
What I speak about
One idea. However the room needs it.
Radical alignment is the whole talk. One throughline that flexes to any room, format or audience. The conversation tends to live in four territories, and they're never quite the same twice.
01
The gap that caps growth
Why the ceiling is rarely operational, and what's actually holding it in place.
02
The structure to scale
The operations, systems and rhythm that can actually hold the growth you want.
03
The identity to lead
The self-concept and leadership a bigger business asks of you. Not after you scale. Now.
04
Where the two meet
Closing the gap between who you are and how you operate, so the structure finally holds.
"Motivating, inspiring, emotional and funny all rolled into one."

I just have to take a moment to shout out Jodie Hayward, truly one of the most emotive and impassioned speakers I've ever had the privilege of witnessing.
She didn't just speak, she invited you in. Into her story. Into her heart. And somehow, by the end of it, you weren't just thinking about her journey, you were thinking about your own.
She made alignment feel not just necessary, but possible. Like something you deserved. Like something you could claim.
Jodie, thank you for reminding us what it means to speak with soul.
Kayleigh Greenacre · Actually, I Can! documentary premiere
Jodie's words at the Actually, I Can! documentary premiere were nothing short of powerful. She spoke with such authenticity and passion that every person in the room felt seen, inspired and uplifted. Her message was not only empowering, but a true reminder of what's possible when we step fully into our power.
She brought such clarity, warmth and strength to the room and her words landed in a way that felt both relatable and deeply impactful.
The audience were moved, inspired and motivated to think differently about what's possible for them.
Jodie's contribution elevated the whole evening and created a lasting impression that went far beyond the premiere itself. An unforgettable contribution to the evening.
Nicola Peake · PeakeFest
I was blown away by Jodie when she stepped on stage. Her energy is unmatched but in the right way for her audience.
She speaks from the heart, sharing her journey to help more people to be completely aligned in their life.
Motivating, inspiring, emotional and funny all rolled into one.
I can't wait to see her take to my stage at PeakeFest in July xx
Vanessa Wallace
Jodie is such a unique and beautiful person, she has the ability to 'see and feel' people and has an intuitive sense as to what you need. When she speaks she connects with everyone's internal passion for life, authenticity and to live their lives in full engagement with their true selves. If you are looking for a speaker who connects with her audience on a deep level and taps them into inspiration they did not even know they had then Jodie is the woman for you.
Sue Ellar
Jodie made me feel what's really possible as a mum building a business with heart. Her story was raw and real, and the way she shared it made me believe in myself all over again. Jodie talks about the power of alignment and shows us how she lives it. She gets you thinking about what truly matters. Thank you Jodie for reminding me of who I am and what I'm capable of.
Sian Morgan-Owen
Jodie is a powerful speaker and a natural storyteller. Her talks are both heartfelt and impactful, blending personal experience with a clear message about alignment and staying true to yourself. She speaks with confidence, clarity and vulnerability, like someone who's been on stages for years. It's clear she's passionate about helping women build businesses that work for their lives, not the other way around. A brilliant voice and one to watch.

I'm so grateful to have met this amazing human! 🙌🏻
Christopher Hunt Skelley MBE PLY
Jodie is an amazing, strong and funny lady!! I loved spending time with her and getting to know how strong she really is!
I was very lucky to be able to hear her speak and she captivated me with her story! She took me on a journey with her and made me feel so powerful!
What it's like to have me on
Clear, generous, and easy to host.
I take the complicated thing and make it land. Simply, without losing the depth. Audiences leave with language for something they've been feeling but couldn't name, and a clear sense of what to do next. The kind of guest who makes the host look good. Here's what hosts say, in full:
Amy Atkinson · The Simply Digital Marketing podcast
I had Jodie on The Simply Digital Marketing podcast and what can I say. She not only fricking knows her stuff, but she's a joy to talk to. Easy going, logical, explains things epically and most importantly simply. She understood my audience perfectly. Highly recommend her coming onto your podcast!
Samantha Hearne · podcast host
Jodie is so genuine, enthusiastic and full of knowledge. She was a guest in my podcast and I could have genuinely spoken to her for hours! Her knowledge and breadth of experience is just captivating, as is her delivery and way she shares her passion in the world!
I would 100% have her back in the podcast
Jenna Dale · podcast host
I had the pleasure of chatting with Jodie on my new podcast. She brought fresh, perspective-shifting ideas that make you pause and rethink. She delivers her knowledge with clarity and confidence, making complex concepts easy to digest. Plus, she's great fun to chat with - warm, engaging, and full of energy. If you're after a guest who can deliver value and keep things lively, Jodie is a brilliant choice.
