About Jodee Curtis

I am wired to think positively about creative solutions for people issues. I spent many years in accounting, and realized that while I could do the work well, my true strengths and passions were not being fully used. People were seeking me out to handle their people issues and create positive cultures. Starting Purple Ink has been a joy because we have fantastic clients and our team has been a part of helping them reach their business and people goals. At Purple Ink, we partner with businesses to create cultures where teams can thrive, deploying their strengths on a daily basis. The CPA in me is thrilled because engaged strengths-based teams go hand in hand with increased productivity and a great bottom line! Our team can help your team with our years of experience in talent acquisition, leadership training, career transition services and outplacement, and general HR consulting. My top 5 CliftonStrengths® are: Maximizer | Arranger | Positivity | Strategic | Futuristic What does that mean?I love transforming things from average to excellence and capitalize on the best in every situation. I am at my best in dynamic situations and enjoy being a conductor of sorts, putting the right people on the right assignments. My glass is always half full. I celebrate achievements, know that work can be fun, and never lose my sense of humor. I see patterns in complex situations, discard paths that lead nowhere, and forge a path to a strategic destination. Energized by what can be, my hope and vision for the future inspires others to raise their sights and spirits too. I have a few side hustles that I love including being the Co-host of the JoyPowered® podcast, Author of JoyPowered®, The JoyPowered® Family, The JoyPowered® Team, The JoyPowered Organization, and 2 more coming soon! These other communication mediums have informed and inspired people all over the world and are great fun! Want more JoyPower®? Follow me on twitter @purpleinkhr and @JoyPowered

   I think your work should be a joy and I founded Purple Ink to offer our clients customized HR services to help them create JoyPowered® workplaces. We are an HR consulting firm working with companies to find creative solutions to HR issues regarding leadership training, recruiting, engagement, outplacement, compensation, and culture. Our promise is to bring our \"people\" expertise to you in a way that is creative, flexible, and always positive! We\'d love to have a conversation and see where your team might need some support. We have a wide range of expertise and the extra hands you might need to turn around a project that\'s been weighing you down. Where did I get the name Purple Ink? I wanted something unique and positive and then it came to me. My son was Grandpa Joe in the play, Willy Wonka, Jr and he had this line,\"The Bucket family always thinks positive! Write that in purple ink, Charlie. Purple ink.\" Sold!
