Here's Lionnel's advice:

  • listen to your inner voice
  • identify your coaches, mentors and cheerleaders
  • develop and maintain a gratitude list
  • practice your daily disciplines
  • if you are stuck, engage with people and projects 

 Lionnel Yamentou is passionate about technology, entrepreneurship and personal growth and development. He holds a Master Degree in Computer Information Systems from the California University of Management and Sciences in Anaheim, California.

Born and raised in Cameroon (Central Africa), Lionnel moved to Ghana (West Africa) for undergraduate studies in 2004, and later moved to the United States in 2011 for graduate studies. He has been a member of Toastmasters International since June 2012 when he was part of the 20 charter members of the All Nations Toastmasters Club in Anaheim.

In 2013 Lionnel served in the Toastmasters International Founder’s District as Area Governor. The same year, he also went on a road trip speaking tour across the United States (from California to Washington, DC) during which he had scheduled to meet and speak at 10 different Toastmasters clubs in 10 cities, in 5 days.

Lionnel has volunteered with DECA as a Competition Judge, and with Orange County Academic Decathlon as an Interview Judge. When he is not doing pro-bono work speaking to local high schools, colleges and universities you will find him speaking at conference or leading training for corporations.
