EPISODE NOTES
Jody, a natural connector and friend-maker, effortlessly spreads her magic wherever she goes—just like the Disney scarf she proudly wears. With an impressive 30-year tenure and 22 positions at The Walt Disney Company, Jody shares her wisdom around the mantra “Happily ever after is the magic happening all around you.”
In her book “Beyond the Castle,” each chapter unveils a cleverly written account of the invaluable lessons learned from her Disney experiences. She discusses her reflections on branding to introducing the term “servitality” and takes you on a journey through her Disney keepsakes, with the most cherished treasure being her husband—with a love story that began at Disney.
Tri Delta isn’t just a chapter in Jody’s story; it’s intricately woven into her Disney beginnings. Hear her insights on winning the Sarah Ida Shaw Award and the profound role Tri Delta continues to play in her life. For Jody, Tri Delta’s bond is the perpetual gift that keeps on giving, and being chosen as a representative and spokesperson adds an extra touch of magic.
