For this week’s Inspirational Leadership Podcast I spoke with Jamelle Lindo. Jamelle is an emotional intelligence leadership coach, trainer and speaker with over 11 years of diverse learning and development experience. He has worked with thousands of professionals across Canada to help them ‘level-up’ through the practical application of emotional intelligence and mindfulness-based strategies.
Jamelle is certified in EQ-i 2.0 – the world’s leading assessment tool for measuring emotional intelligence – and he uses this to establish a scientifically valid benchmark to begin a leader’s development journey. He has published several thought leadership pieces on Forbes.com and is an official member of the Forbes Coaches Council, an invite-only organization for successful business coaches. Jamelle is driven to empower leaders to become their best selves and in so doing, achieve the kind of business success that makes the world a better place.
