About Dr. Jody Carrington

Speaker | Author | Game Changer
"Kids These Days" Canadian Best Seller
Creating a #reconnectionrevolution. One relationship at a time.

Dr. Jody Carrington Description

As a clinical psychologist, I have spent most of my career working with children and families who have experienced trauma. Growing up on a farm in rural Alberta, Canada, and after 13 years (! ) of post-secondary education, I took my first job on the Mental Health Inpatient Units of the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.

It was during those 10 years that I learned the most about kids, families, relationships, and the vital importance of connection. Today, I’m back living in a rural setting, managing a private practice, raising a family, speaking around the country about relationships, connection and my new book, Kids These Days.

I passionately believe in the power of the relationship with the people we love, lead, and teach. My favourite thing on the planet to do is to speak with educators—they have the power to change the trajectory of a life every single day. It’s time that we need to start focusing less on kids these days, and more on those of you who hold them every day.

The core of everything I speak and write about comes down to this: we are wired to do hard things. We can do those hard things so much easier when we remember this: we are wired for connection.

Join us on this journey to build a strong, connected community—it’s a (re)connection revolution starting now.

This woman is an amazing speaker! ���

User

Thank you very much Dr. Jody Carrington. I was at your session on Friday at Bishop McNally and left feeling very inspired. I love my job as a kindergarten teacher and the joys i take away from it daily helps me to realize why this is so. The message of “ tell me more” resonated with me to be used with children and adults alike. Thank you again for putting it in perspective ...we all just want to be listened to and cared about ��

User

Thank you Jody for your entertaining, inspirational and emotional presentation last night for the Calgary Catholic School District. I was moved by your words and haven’t been able to get you out of my head today! Beautiful!

User

Loved this amazing lady she is as real as it gets and inspires us to be the best we can be!! Her words really made me feel better about how I am raising my kids cause I know I’m doing the best I can! 💕

User

Learned from this Incredible woman this last weekend and she has changed my life. Thank you so so much.

User

Jody is one of the most amazing speakers I've had the privilege to listen to. She uses laughter and compassion to get to the heart of the matter and rejuvenates the weary-hearted - all the while wrapping it up in love and sass. I consider her a part of my 'herd'. :)

User

Jody is for real. Makes me feel good about myself and being a good enough parent. Enough said

User

Jody is AMAZING! She spoke at the 4-H Alberta Leaders Conference this year and I have learned so much as a 4-H volunteer. She is personable, bubbly and tons of fun to listen to. She is clearly passionate about what she does and I would love to hear her speak again.

User

In my line of work (and maybe a bit because I am older) I have seen so many presentations/speakers and attended many workshops! Let's just say I may be a bit 'jaded'.

BUT...Dr. Carrington has made me sit up and take notice! Her messages are real, relevant, relatable and really really good!

Thank you Dr. Jody Carrington!

User

I was at Portage College in St Paul where she spoke last night and she is amazing in both the way she speaks and the information and education she provides! I walked away feeling that I had learned an insane amount from her!! Thank you so much!

User

I think that you nailed it as it was up lifting as sometimes the kids get away with to much in the schools and they need to talked to, I was so encouraged today as you came to bring this topic and the opportunity for our staff to attend today.

User

I seen you speak in Kananaskis and to say it was life changing is an understatement. What you taught us about parenting will change the world and enable us to raise confident children.



Our training was a couple weeks ago but I became especially thankful today while I was at the airport and watched a mom interact with her two young girls, maybe 6 and 4 years old. The 6 year old was crying and the mom was yelling at her angrily saying “we missed our flight because of YOU” “I have no idea why you don’t want to get on the plane and what you’re scared of” “YOU made us miss it”. Now I’m not judging this mom because when you know better you do better, but I just wanted to go up to this sweet girl and tell her mom to give her the biggest hug she could, get her a snack and a drink of water and get the mom to ask her daughter to “tell me more”...

Thank you Dr. Jody, now I know better so I’m trying to do better... (30% of the time �)

User

I love how you tell it as it is :) Loved your sense of humour :) I could go on and on!!!!

User

I just listened to Jody and I can say she filled my bucket. I laughed,cried and learned so much about connection. I am so grateful I got the chance to be in this women's presence. She is amazing and I will be a better human for what I learned today. If you ever have a chance to see this women talk, do not miss the opportunity. THANK YOU JODY you are so wonderful keep rocking it.

User

I had the privilege of hearing Jody speak at Teachers Convention.

I initially went to her session on trauma and was so impacted by her wisdom, I immediately signed up for her Friday morning session as well.

She is real, honest, heartfelt, funny and so incredibly wise.

If you ever have the opportunity to hear Jody speak - GO! You will walk away with a new found perspective on teaching/ parenting/being in relationships and how connection is the key to pure joy.

Thank you Jody! Your impact is far reaching.

User

Had the privilege of seeing Jody Carrington speak on Friday. She was amazing. I highly recommend her if you have relationships.....with anyone.



My favourite quote, I think, was:



Somebody’s got to be crazy about that kid. That’s number 1, first, last and always. That’s it. End of story. I mean light up crazy, lose your friggin mind crazy. @JodyCarrington



Just awesome.

User

Dr. Jody is amazing! She gets it! So real!

User

Dang, Jody, you nailed it today in Wainwright! Never before have I left a day of professional development feeling so encouraged, stretched, fed, challenged, affirmed or exhausted. Your message of connectedness is one that will resonate for the rest of my days. It may be Friday, but Monday's coming and I feel a little "light-up crazy" coming on! From the bottom of my heart I thank-you.

User

Completely changed /validated my role in my job. Funny, intelligent, kind, caring ..and not necessarily in that order. If you've not had an opportunity to listen to this amazing person share a message, you need to make it a priority.

Dang, Jody, you nailed it today in Wainwright! Never before have I left a day of professional development feeling so encouraged, stretched, fed, challenged, affirmed or exhausted. Your message of connectedness is one that will resonate for the rest of my days. It may be Friday, but Monday's coming and I feel a little "light-up crazy" coming on! From the bottom of my heart I thank-you.

Completely changed /validated my role in my job. Funny, intelligent, kind, caring ..and not necessarily in that order. If you've not had an opportunity to listen to this amazing person share a message, you need to make it a priority.
