Jamil Zaki not only has a lot to say, but he says it well. Zaki’s talk demonstrated—with statistics, anecdotes, and commonsense—how we might make the world a little kinder. Everyone who attended love the talk and was inspired to do their part to be more empathetic.

Jamil spoke at a meeting for our entire people leader audience. The group was engaged in Jamil’s thoughts on empathy and had meaningful conversation during a Q&A segment. As a result, our leaders are eager to implement more empathy into their daily working lives to better connect to their team members. Additionally, working with Jamil and his team was a great experience. He took the time to meet with us in preparation of the event and ultimately delivered a thought-provoking, informative message.

Jamil Zaki was a dynamic and engaging speaker at our 2023 annual conference, The Montessori Event. He was pleasant and generous with his time, chatting with conference attendees after the formal presentation and making himself available to answer questions beyond what was even initially asked. We'd highly recommend to future event planners.
