One of the most impactful parts of CEO Global was the EQ session, where Jamelle was a presenter. After completing an EQ test, we reviewed the results in a 1:1 session. This was a transformative experience for me. Jamelle's insights and questions challenged me to dig deep, examine my behaviours, and uncover the “why” behind my actions and reactions over the years—not all of them positive.

Through our discussions, I gained a deeper understanding of my tendency to take on a “Superman” role and my perfectionist traits, especially in the charged environment of advertising. Two years later, I can confidently say his guidance helped me become more self-aware and start making meaningful changes.

Jamelle doesn’t shy away from tough conversations, but his approach is thoughtful and constructive. If you're ready to look inward, be honest, and do the work to grow, Jamelle is the person to help guide that journey.

I had the privilege of working with Jamelle Lindo as an EQ Leadership Coach as part of my career advancement plan, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance. Jamelle has a remarkable ability to understand exactly where you are in your career, identify challenges, and provide strategic and empathetic coaching to help navigate them effectively.

Through his coaching, I gained further confidence as a thought leader, equipping me to hold challenging yet constructive conversations with peers, subordinates, and leaders. This, in turn, allowed me to drive strategic resolutions and overcome obstacles more effectively.

Jamelle’s use of the Emotional Intelligence Model was transformative. He guided me in assessing my leadership style and reflecting on the areas that matter most to me, both emotionally and strategically. His approach enabled me to hone my leadership qualities and take my career to the next level.

In today’s dynamic and complex economic landscape, the importance of EQ-driven leadership cannot be overstated. Jamelle is a truly exceptional coach who can help leaders cultivate and shine in these critical areas.

I would not hesitate to leverage Jamelle’s expertise again in the future, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to fellow leaders seeking to elevate their emotional intelligence and leadership impact.

Jamelle spoke at HRPA's first annual virtual Conference & Trade show in January 2021. He is truly a gifted speaker, with valuable and insightful content that was well-received by our attendees. Jamelle's session was ranked as one of the top 10 sessions of our program. Here's what some attendees had to say:

"Talk about saving the best for last!! An essential component of a good facilitator is being able to manage the session beyond reciting a set of slides. Jamelle was engaging DURING his presentation AND after! He connected the points on the slide and made each comment connect to an example.
He listened to each question (asked for it to be repeated if necessary) and thoroughly answered each one. How refreshing!! His answers weren't canned or rehearsed, but rather, specific and helpful. He gave practical examples and transitioned his thoughts into helpful responses. What an exceptional presenter!!! THAT is the kind of MC or HOST this session needs. Well done!!"

"Fantastic session! Filled with so many takeaways for HR professionals and things they can apply in their day-to-day lives, both professionally and personally. Loved the tips and resources provided to us to take back to our workplaces and work toward improving EQ and EI!"

As keynote for our (virtual) 2023 Nonprofit Finance Executives Seminar, Jamelle Lindo left attendees inspired and motivated. We chose Jamelle for his expertise in EQ—critical for managing employees in Industry 4.0—and for his undeniable stage presence. In our feedback tool, attendees gave Jamelle the highest rankings! And, one of the number one action items attendees indicated was: “Enhance My Emotional Intelligence”. We highly recommend Jamelle to anyone seeking a thought-provoking, enlightening, and energizing keynote on EQ!

Below are just a few of the comments we received:
“The keynote and information on EI/EQ were great and different than what I get from other webinars offered by accounting/finance organizations.” “The emotional intelligence session was incredible!” “The keynote session was my favorite.” “The keynote was excellent!! Many good takeaways.” “The Keynote speaker was outstanding - topic was relevant and his presentation of it was fantastic.” “I think the keynote speaker was incredibly helpful and interesting.” “Keynote presentation was excellent and provided many ideas about personal improvement” “I really enjoyed Jamelle Lindo's section on Emotional Intelligence Leadership. It was engaging and very appropriate given the current workforce.”

Up until almost a year ago, I admit I did not have a good understanding of EI. Anything with ‘emotion’ in it made me uncomfortable and therefore I actively avoided it. My go-to emotional response was anger, believing that the feeling of anger allowed me to better control situations. I had limited (or no) awareness of how my emotions were being experienced by others. Because of this lack of awareness, when I was being emotionally triggered I didn’t really understand what was going on, and I definitely didn’t see how my emotional reaction was impacting those around me. As a result my reactions tended to cause friction with those around me - both here at work and in my personal life. Once I understood this part, I made a firm commitment to myself to work on my emotional self-awareness. Getting started was uncomfortable and daunting.

Luckily, I was connected with Jamelle Lindo, who is an expert in emotional intelligence and one of the few people who completely call me out in the kindest and most candidly effective way when I’m not showing up as my best self, the person I tell him I aspire to be. Through his coaching, I’ve literally spent less than 15 minutes a day working on this and feel more balanced and capable of recognizing and managing my emotions to create ideal outcomes. I am more aware of the version of myself I want to be and acknowledge every day is a work in progress towards being that person.

Emotional intelligence is people skills and it’s the people at Dillon that drive our business. At Dillon we walk the talk and as the Executive Director, People at Dillon, improving my own emotional intelligence continues to be a top priority. Anyone can improve their emotional intelligence if you’re willing to invest the time and open yourself up to a different way of thinking. I couldn't recommend working with Jamelle more!

It's my absolute pleasure to recommend Jamelle Lindo as a high standard life/mindset coach. Jamelle and I have had monthly meetings during the past year and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time working with him, and came to know him as a truly valuable coach. To be completely honest, all the moments in my coaching journey has been significant to me. Every coaching session has had light-bulb moments for me. Enhanced self-awareness, increased ability to recognize, label and respond to my emotions has been the key learning lessons for me. Improved capability to initiate and positively navigate an empathy conversation has been the other key learning lesson for me.

Regarding the tangible results, I can mention the followings:

- Being promoted and lead the procurement team
Definitely the EQ improvement journey, the coaching sessions with Jamelle, the Oji Life lab, and the constant exercise of acting mature in different situations have been supporting me to achieve my 2022 goal which was being promoted as the leader for Procurement team.

-Increased self-awareness which has resulted in improved relationships with my colleagues & friends
Based on the feedback that I have received from my colleagues, esp. people in my team and even my friends, I am more approachable now; I listen more actively; I relate to what other people have to say… I mean I can better put myself in other people’s shoes and see their point of view.

Generally, I can claim that I’m emotionally smarter now. I’m more sensitive to the signals that I get from my surrounding, this has helped me to improve my communication with others specifically by better recognizing the right timing for having a conversation and framing my message with a positive tone. I am now able to navigate the conversation in a manner that I mostly achieve the main objective of mine without touching the ego of the other side of the conversation.

Thanks Jamelle for taking the time... staying positive and supporting me in this journey.

For the past year, I’ve been coached by Jamelle. Building and practicing emotional intelligence has made a significant difference in how I show up both at work and at home. If you are looking to embrace authentic leadership, build effective relationships and create harmony in your life, I would highly recommend Jamelle as your EQ coach.

The experience is bespoke. I loved that the program was tailored to me and it’s a deep dive into who you are. Jamelle spent the time to connect and understand me and more importantly, respected what I wanted out of this journey. This resulted in us being focused on 3 key areas. Jamelle is truly a master coach and his strength is simplifying emotional intelligence concepts in a way that everyone can understand and practice and he’ll hold you accountable every step of the way.

You attract success by becoming more attractive and emotional intelligence is the best investment you can make in yourself. I am stepping out of this program into a better version of myself. Thanks Jamelle!

For any leaders looking to level up your effectiveness, Jamelle's Emotional Intelligence coaching is a compete gamechanger. I guarantee you will not find a better keynote speaker who harnesses group dynamics to encourage deep reflection quite like Jamelle.

After working with Jamelle, my perspective on EI and it’s influence on every team dynamic, relationship, and business challenge has been transformed. In the construction industry, we’re constantly tasked with managing large and diverse teams. Through Jamelle’s EI coaching, he has helped our collective organization develop a higher capacity for EI, which is a massive contributor to our success.

In addition to leadership in the workplace, Jamelle’s coaching will also improve your relationships with family and friends, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life. With balance being increasingly difficult to achieve in the modern business environment, developing your EI will make you a better leader, and a better person.
