WE can do a whole lot more than ME.
After 20+ years of military service — from enlisted medic to Army Major and Logistics Officer — Jody Fuller has seen firsthand what real teamwork looks like under pressure, across ranks, and around the world. In this engaging, humorous, and practical keynote, Jody shows audiences how the principles of military teamwork apply to classrooms, companies, nonprofits, and communities.
Drawing from his three tours in Iraq, his experience in the Regular Army, National Guard, and Army Reserves, and his training as a Master Resilience Trainer and John Maxwell–Certified Speaker, Jody delivers a message that is equal parts motivational, actionable, and entertaining.
