Bullsh!t

We tell the stories people remember and develop the humans living them.

We’re a communications agency and professional development company—which is a weird combo until it isn’t. We help organizations tell better stories and help the people inside them build the skills to back it up.

Integrated is how we view the world, and it’s also how we deliver communications and learning. It connects every piece of your company or employees to one clear plan—focused on people, driven by big ideas, and measured through data.

Everything works together like one big happy family without the trauma and therapy.

Big Deal Energy™

When you own your QUIRKS™, show up authentically, and give without expecting, good stuff comes your way. The things making you different aren’t liabilities; they’re your competitive edge. Flip the script, so the people with half your talent and brains stop getting the space meant for you.

It’s time to get uncomfortable and define what makes you unique, quirky, and weird…cause that’s your Big Deal Energy™

Skills Survival School

This is survival school — the kind of training nobody gave your employees before they walked in, built for businesses who can’t afford to keep absorbing the cost of the gap. The program design is grounded in problem-centered methodology — every scenario, every exercise, every module ties to situations your employees will recognize from their own Monday morning. This isn’t theory. Bode spent years perfecting the design, the sequencing, the integration. None of it is made up.
