Jodie Marshall

Jodie is the Founder and Managing Director of the long standing social enterprise A Mind Apart. Starting the company at the height of the recession in 2008 Jodie built the performing arts company to be resilient and responsive to the needs of the community it serves, whilst training and supporting individuals internationally within the education, youth and performing arts sectors. She led the company through Covid at a time when the arts sector was in serious difficulties, strengthening the company as a result. 

Holding a Masters in Social Enterprise and Cooperative Management, Jodie has extensive experience of supporting, coaching and consulting social enterprises and other ethical based businesses. Her work has included taking organisation from being volunteer led to being sustainable businesses employing individuals and increasing their impact and growth.

Jodie has been running her own social enterprise and supporting charities, not for profit organisations and small businesses internationally for over fifteen years guiding them in change management, development and growth, accountability, governance and ethical practices. As a coach, mentor and consultant she works with clients to develop a clear picture of where they are going, supporting them to think big picture, whilst focusing on the detail and implementing it to achieve their goals.

In 2023, Jodie joined Fran at Mantle. Through this ethical consultancy, Jodie works with businesses in all sectors supporting them to be purpose-driven with meaningful processes, structure and impact, and holds specialist knowledge within the areas of education, creative and cultural, youth, wellbeing, social enterprise and  community.
