Jodie is an avid, able entrepreneur who picks up skills fast and puts them to good use.
Jodie is a force of nature! If you want ideas, connections, innovation, energy, and organization from a very sharp mind with a great sense of fun, then you want Jodie Gastel. I would work with her in a heartbeat because she always knows what’s going on and how to get things done.
Jodie is an amazingly intuitive and engaging professional. Time spent with her always leaves me full of concrete ideas and inspiration. I would not hesitate to recommend Jodie and her work for any multitude of projects as she is one of the most adaptable, conscientious and generous people I know.
I’ve consulted Jodie on numerous occasions as I expand my brand’s web presence. She offers great advice with a variety of solutions. Her wealth of experience and great personal nature have brought me back to her countless times. She’d be an asset to any organization.
Jodie is an incredible woman who truly lives up to her title of “Head Know-It -All.” She assisted me in creating my first website with her personal help and attention, along with her great and creative book, The Easiest How-To-Build-Your-Own-Website-Book. Ever.
I have not personally hired Jodie, but I am familiar with her work through various social media connections. She presented at Word Camp Victoria 2009 and I have unhesitatingly recommended her to friends needing a hand building an effective web presence. I have a copy of her online book; it is a clear, step-by-step primer on creating a we site. She is hard working, creative, whip-smart and the genuine article.
Jodie is an awesome combination of creative and organized. She’s always on the cutting edge of technology & social media.
I’ve known Jodie since her work with the Greater Victoria Economic Development Commission, back in the days when the commercial web was in its infancy. Jodie has always been an extremely creative individual with the ability to quickly absorb the never-ending sea of information that now surrounds us. Not only that – she can actually synthesize, adapt and transmit this information in a fashion that is usable by the less tech-savvy majority. She is a trend setter too! No one knew what a virtual assistant was when Jodie founded Attaché. She was one of the first people locally in Victoria BC to use WordPress to build websites. Any time I need feedback for a project or germ of an idea involving the web, I know I can turn to Jodie for input and assistance. She also believes in giving back to the online community, and continues to do so through her involvement with Social Media Club Victoria and WordCamp.
Jodie convinced me to convert my website to wordpress so that I could do my own updates and get better S.E.O. on my site. She made the whole process painless and I can now keep my site updated easier and she is continuing to drag me into the social networking world!
THANK YOU! You’re brilliant and amazing and super and I knew you could help. :)
