Our clients are top priority.  Read what they are saying about working together.

❝JEAN-MICHEL is a GENEROUS, COMPASSIONATE and EXTRAORDINARY BUSINESSMAN❞

Jean-Michel is a really special being – he walks two paths at the same time: one of being a caring, compassionate, real person, the other of being an extraordinary businessman who consistently delivers real value through his work.

His guidance is practical and generous while his personality and commitment to helping others make it fun to work (& play at working!) together.

Do yourself a favor and work with him: from professional services to brainstorming innovations and more, whatever he is focusing on is sure to be what you need! :+)

❝ MY BUSINESS VOLUME and TEAM GROWTH have SKYROCKETED and WE ARE ONLY 35 DAYS IN !!! ❞

I don’t know where to start with Jean-Michel! He helped me brand myself to the next level. He listened to exactly what I was looking to accomplish. Then quickly showed me a path to the desired results!! It was custom to my needs and GAVE ME 5 HOURS BACK IN EACH DAY FOR MY BUSINESS. This has allowed me to be laser focused on those who want to work with me.

Since working with Jean-Michel, my BUSINESS VOLUME AND TEAM GROWTH HAVE SKYROCKETED and WE ARE ONLY 35 DAYS IN!!!

What is more exciting is the fact that I now have more time with my family and I am no longer chasing people, they are coming to me and booking meetings on my calendar. HIGHLY recommend Jean-Michel!!!

❝Jean-Michel has VASTLY EXCEEDED all of my EXPECTATIONS in EVERY MARKETING AREA

Every encounter with Jean-Michel is a pleasure. He is the consummate professional. He understands the market better than anyone I ever interacted with. He has so far, vastly exceeded all of my expectations in every marketing area.

I would without reservation recommend to anyone who wants to supercharge their business that they spend an hour with him, and I promise it will change your business life.

Thank you, Jean-Michel, you have changed mine!

❝ Jean Michel is a Great REPRESENTATION of SERVANT LEADERSHIP ❞

When one of my mentors recommended Jean-Michel, I knew that it would be a high quality experience because of the type of human beings she interacts with.  Jean-Michel is one of the most positive, kind hearted career and business coaches I’ve met.

As a business owner and someone early in their career, servant leadership is important to me.  Not only did my conversation with Jean-Michel help me get clarity about my own next steps within my career and my business, but also, he beautifully walked his talk and demonstrated the type of value and guidance I want to provide my own clients.

I’m looking forward to working with Jean-Michel in the future, and would highly recommend having a conversation with him if you are ready and willing to move into the next phase of your career.

❝The SERVICES PROVIDED ARE PRICELESS; WE ARE BOOKING 3 to 5 DAILY APPOINTMENTS!

Jean-Michel is a one stop shop for anything you may need on LinkedIn. His creativity and attention to detail will help anyone create an eye catching profile with rich content. My profile was very basic before I started working with Jean-Michel, with less than 300 connections. He provided very straight forward instructions on how to build my LinkedIn presence and attract meaningful connections and contacts.

I can proudly say that after 6 months of working with Jean-Michel I now have over 11,000 connections and potential business opportunities flowing in every week. We are booking 3 to 5 daily appointments, about 20 on a good week.

If you would like to increase your presence on LinkedIn and capture business leads, there is no better coach/mentor than Jean-Michel. The services provided are priceless!

❝A Woman Called me a LEGEND after Looking at my LinkedIn Profile!

Jean is kind, patient, organized, and very informed about LinkedIn. Today a woman called me a “legend” from looking at my profile. 

He definitely knows how to spice it up so you look like a rockstar in text; using a few characters makes your profile stand out, and he is extraordinarily meticulous researching your demographic to target.

I had previously worked with another LinkedIn “expert,“ and Jean blows him away in every way.

Looking forward to the fruits of our labors.

❝ JM IS A ROCKSTAR LINKEDIN STRATEGIST ❞

JM is the strategist’s strategist. Other LinkedIn trainers and coaches come to him for help!

Jean-Michel puts together 3 key pieces that I haven’t seen anyone else do: SHOW-STOPPING SEO profile optimization and branding – that alone will get you leads.

But he gives you even more: Strategy on posting content that LinkedIn algorithm favors right now (he always knows the hottest trends).

And finally, DEEP understanding of technology and how to use it to save you time with LinkedIn and connections to your email and sales tools.

On top of that Jean-Michel is a nice guy. He wants to help and be of service.

❝ The Breadth and Depth of his Knowledge is only Exceeded by his Passion for Enriching the Lives of Other People ❞

I knew Jean-Michel before the launch of SpotLighting You. The breadth and depth of his knowledge is only exceeded by his passion for enriching the lives of other people. Jean-Michel offers sound advice , suggestions and potential action items that you can implement . . . and they are genuinely beneficial.

As a nuclear scientist, I was impressed by Jean-Michel’s own transformation. He lives by his own words and demonstrates an infectious need to succeed. This is NOT A CANNED résumé writing, Search Engine Optimization, Coaching or Job Hunting service. Talk to somebody that cares before you lose your pants and shirt to another scam artist. 

❝As a Marketer, Jean-Michel Provides VALUE FIRST and Delivers a Quality Product, ABOVE EXPECTATIONS

Jean-Michel is an intelligent, empathetic and understanding teacher. As a marketer, he understands the concept of “Givers Gain” and the Law of Compensation. He provides value first and delivers a quality product, above what is expected.

Jean-Michel has created a business model that provides an incredibly valuable service to his community of small business owners.

Cheers Jean-Michel!

❝JEAN-MICHEL IS THE COACH’S COACH ❞

Jean-Michel Tournier is the COACH’s COACH. I truly believe everyone needs a coach to help them stay relevant and up to date while navigating and interpreting the plethora of information that is available in one’s subject matter and expertise.

Learning is continuous, regardless of your level of expertise and years doing what you do.  Jean-Michel can help you shorten the learning process. Jean-Michel and I share much in common; however, we have enough difference in our backgrounds to make our sessions beneficial and impactful.

Regardless of where you are in your business plan, if you want to take your business to the next level and build a strong alliance along the way, I recommend working with Jean-Michel.

❝ Jean-Michel should be your first GO TO LINKEDIN EXPERT for LEAD GEN & BRANDING ❞

Jean-Michel is a dedicated professional who is truly passionate about what he does, helping people to be the best they can be and driving results. Having attended several LINKEDIN strategy presentations from other coaches, I was naturally confident in what I was doing. I was therefore hesitant to engage one more specialist; however, I am so very glad I did!

From the beginning, Jean-Michel wanted to thoroughly understand my overall goals, and we worked together to develop strong LinkedIn targeting and engagement strategies which delivered results that even exceeded my expectations.  I would not have been able to accomplish such results on my own if Jean-Michel had not provided such insightful value and expertise throughout the entire process.

It is therefore without hesitation that I highly recommend Jean-Michel, owner of SPOTLIGHTING YOU. Whether you are looking to target leads to build your sales pipeline, or like me develop your personal brand, he should be your FIRST GO TO LINKEDIN EXPERT. Thank you Jean Michel!

❝ Jean-Michel is an Excellent LINKEDIN COACH AND MENTOR

Within days, my LinkedIn profile views exploded after following some of Jean-Michel’s advice.  Definitely apply his advice and techniques.

Jean-Michel is kind, patient, a real pleasure to speak with and a genuine TEACHER at HEART. His advice is sound, logical and practical. He knows more about LINKEDIN than you can possibly imagine.  You will get out of it the more you also put into it.  It’s teamwork and a partnership.

I didn’t know what I was missing on LINKEDIN until I opened my willingness for direction.

I had already worked with and paid for other “LinkedIn coaches,” and wasted my money.  Don’t make the same mistake. Thank you Jean-Michel!

❝JEAN-MICHEL IS PURE GENIUS 

Jean-Michel is amazing. When it comes to LinkedIn, customer service or anything having to do with web technology, Jean-Michel is absolute pure genius.

❝ THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND INSIGHTS, JEAN-MICHEL ❞

Jean-Michel has been a wonderful asset and instrumental in helping me establish my marketing platform and image, while significantly expanding my LinkedIn network in my target industry.  His KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM and INSIGHTS have been invaluable in the branding of my new business.

I am so very grateful to have connected with him. I view the dollars invested in his coaching and training as an investment in myself.  My personal brand platform is much stronger and my professional outreach much more extensive than what I was able to achieve on my own.

Thank you again, Jean-Michel!  You’re a caring, intelligent and kind person who knows his stuff when it comes to supporting entrepreneurs and business executives like myself.  All my best. 

❝Jean-Michel is GENUINE, INSIGHTFUL and TRULY AN EXPERT

❝ Jean-Michel takes the TIME to know you to BRAND your AUTHENTIC SELF ❞

Jean-Michel does not do cookie cutter nor use a standard format for you, but gets to know who you are as a person and then sets up your LINKEDIN profile to match your personality and brand your Authentic Self.

Since he takes the time to get to know you, he can personalize your profile to best represent you and convey your strengths across all the branding work that he completes for you, including your website.

I spoke with Jean-Michel about marketing and networking better on LinkedIn. His one on one conversationS showed me exactly where I was going wrong with my marketing techniques on LinkedIn.

He was smart, helpful and patient with me. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help, when it comes to marketing on the internet. 

❝ GETTING the MOST out of LINKEDIN 

LinkedIn is the biggest place for connecting and finding business opportunities, and Jean-Michel is the right person to help you utilize it.  Knowledgeable and insightful.

❝ The Snowball Effect kicked in. My Target Audience started contacting ME Instead of me Chasing Them like before!  ❞

Jean-Michel is the SINGLE SOURCE that anyone will ever need for LINKEDIN, JOB SEARCH, COACHING and RESUME WRITING. I tried to do this myself with no success, then hired other services with little positive results. Therefore, I was a little skeptical when I first talked to Jean-Michel, due to past engagements that promised a lot and delivered very little.

This experience was completely different.  Jean-Michel KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO OPTIMIZE MY LINKEDIN PROFILE to drive views, connections and target my audience. My views went from 2 or 3 a day to over 10, and my connections went from just over 500 to over 2,000. The best news: my target audience started contacting me instead of me chasing them like before! 

Once the connections and engagements started, the snowball effect kicked in. In addition, my focus area of interest was an extremely narrow niche but that was not an issue in the end, thanks to the amazing branding, targeting and engagement strategies Jean-Michel deployed.

Without Jean-Michel’s help, knowledge and experience, I am not sure I would be where I am today. If you are looking for the best, look no further, you found it in Jean-Michel.

❝Jean-Michel is a Hidden Treasure and an Absolute Pleasure To Work With ❞

I feel extremely lucky to have found and worked with Jean-Michel, owner of Spotlighting You! His understanding of job-search techniques and his command of the tools needed to succeed have been invaluable as a coach and adviser. 

Applying his knowledge of LinkedIn grew my network and exposure with the right contacts. Our LinkedIn targeting and engagement strategy led to increased activity which led to a marvelous opportunity that would never have happened without Spotlighting You! 

My resume was optimized for search engines and ATS and complimented our overall strategy for maximum results. 

Jean-Michel is a hidden treasure and an absolute pleasure to work with. I have learned so much and benefited from my engagement with him. I would recommend his service to anyone who wants results. Thank you, Jean-Michel!!! 

❝ Jean-Michel delivers Innovation and Know-How.  He Encourages you to reach your Highest Potential ❞

In looking to add a more professional look to my LinkedIn profile as well as attract those hiring managers to my page, I looked for someone with clear innovation and know-how in terms of my stalled job search.  I found this in Jean-Michel and the many services that he offered.

As a true coach, he cared about the total person and not just where they were at the moment they connected. He has a plethora of services and will encourage you to reach toward your highest potential. He gave me a different way of looking at my new opportunity approach.

I would recommend Jean-Michel to anyone who is looking for innovation and new ideas to invigorate their search.

❝ Jean-Michel’s Program is worth its Weight in Gold.  Outplacement companies NEED TO HIRE HIM  

Jean-Michel provided great information that was logical to follow, but few delve deeply into.  I was very impressed and the strategies I learned are invaluable to any professional attempting to brand themselves & stand out from the crowd of applicants. 

 The program offered is WORTH its WEIGHT in GOLD because it does give you a COMPETITIVE advantage and does resolve many of the mysteries about – I’m more than qualified for this role, but why didn’t they call me for an interview? – question. This is so crucial in today’s marketplace.  

 I have reviewed and even initiated programs from others as well as attended a couple of outplacement sessions with reputable companies, and they don’t even scratch the surface that Jean-Michel’s program provides – THEY NEED TO HIRE HIM to teach applicants the state-of-the-art method for becoming fully-employed in a short time. This is CUTTING EDGE and before you spend a dime on another program that might be better publicized, please look at Jean-Michel’s SPOTLIGHTING YOU program. This is really hands-on and tailored to your specific needs. You will not be disappointed.
