Dr. Corey Jamison brings more than 30 years of experience partnering with executives and teams around the globe to drive dramatic sustainable organizational transformation. She has worked with leaders at all levels of some of the largest brands. Corey holds a PhD in Psychology. When she married her husband, Jon, they blended their families. Corey had three children, and Jon had three children, and then together they had one. Bringing that many people together (seven children under the age of 13!) was … a lot. To sort through some of the hard conversations that every couple needs to have to navigate through life together, they started an annual marriage retreat. Having worked together for 10 years, Corey brought this idea to her business partner, Julie Bush, and they teamed up to bring the DIY Marriage Retreat in A Box to life.
