Research shows that children’s interests, ambitions, and skills can be shaped early on by the media they consume and the toys with which they play, potentially influencing everything from the subjects they choose to study to the careers they ultimately pursue. Jodi Bondi Norgaard speaks on the need to close the gender gaps in our workforce by exposing children to diverse role models. Girls and boys need to break free from the stereotypes that are holding them back. Girls need encouragement to embrace their strength and assertiveness as much as boys need validation to be vulnerable and nurturing.
Jodi Bondi Norgaard empowers and inspires audiences with her journey of determination, passion and the grit needed to create change and challenge the status quo. She shares her passion for social impact and illustrates how strong values can change an industry, even the world. Jodi is the founder of Dream Big Toy Company and the creator of the award-winning Go! Go! Sports Girls line. She has been featured on national media and was invited to the The White House to discuss smashing gender stereotypes and gender disparity
