Jody’s grandparents and mom were influential as entrepreneurs in the 1970s and 1980s and taught her the values and lessons about being an entrepreneur and business owner.
As a young single mom, Jody’s daughter was an inspiration for her to further her education. Her passion for being organized and helping others led Jody to attend NAIT where she graduated from the Secretarial and Office Administration Program in 1989. This was at a time when the Xerox Word Processor and microcomputer were the newest and greatest technology.
It was a 30-year journey working with mentors and peers in different industries and completing public relations and special events courses that provided insight and confidence for her to launch Viewpoint Executive Solutions in February 2019.
Jody originally designed the business model to help senior executives streamline their office operations. Through the development of Viewpoint’s business model, she discovered that her true calling was helping the small business owner, small to medium-sized businesses, community leagues, associations and charities.
Jody partners with businesses and business owners providing both virtual and in-person support to create and update processes, solve problems, recommend, and implement solutions. She works with clients to provide guidance and professional organization specializing in operations and administration, board governance expertise, community and government relations and events management.
Helping others and giving back is an important part of Jody’s business model. She is an active volunteer for various charities and helps to organize events while supporting and providing board member mentorship. Jody has a passion for learning and continues to complete courses and workshops that enhance the services she provides to her clients.
Jody feels fortunate to be a female entrepreneur and small business owner. Supporting local female entrepreneurs is important to Jody. She is a Keylime Athletic Wear Ambassador and was an inaugural Be-you-ty Ambassador for Pretty as a Picture Photography (branding photos on the website were taken by Pretty as a Picture Photography).
