Rooted in Values, Focused on You
Mantle is built on the values I hold as a founder and practitioner: ethical integrity, collaboration, practical expertise, and a commitment to real-world results. When you work with Mantle, you’re working directly with me, and everything I do is shaped by these principles.
My approach is always personal and flexible. I take the time to get to know your organisation, your challenges, and your goals, so we can co-create practical solutions that truly fit your context. Whether you’re seeking one-to-one support, team development, or sector-wide impact, you’ll get honest, actionable support every step of the way.
I believe in building every partnership on trust, transparency, and honest conversation, so you always know where you stand.
For specialist projects and programmes, I bring in trusted associates who share Mantle’s values and commitment to ethical, people-focused consultancy. You’ll always know who’s by your side and what they bring to your project.
 Mantle exists to help you build a stronger organisation. One that’s sustainable, impactful, and true to your values.
About Jodie
Â
I'm Jodie Marshall, Founder and Director of Mantle. My journey has always been about helping people and organisations find their purpose, build resilience, and make a genuine impact, whether that's in the arts, social enterprise, or the wider community.
I’ve spent nearly two decades working alongside purpose-driven organisations and individuals, first as the founder of A Mind Apart (a performing arts company established for over 18 years), then leading and supporting charities, launching new ventures like ShowFitness®, and mentoring leaders across the UK. My own career has been a portfolio of creative, entrepreneurial, and leadership roles, so I understand first-hand the rewards and challenges of making a difference in the real world.
I hold a master’s in Social Enterprise and Cooperative Management, as well as qualifications in coaching, mentoring, teaching, and performing arts. This blend of creative practical experience and academic grounding means I can offer support that’s honest, adaptable and always shaped around your needs and goals.
My approach is friendly, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and help you create a plan you can feel confident about. Whether you’re seeking training programmes, clarity, facing tough decisions, or looking to grow as a leader, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
If you’d like to know more about my journey or want to chat about how I can help you or your organisation, just get in touch, I’d love to connect.
