Creating neuroinclusive classrooms and workplaces where reflection leads before reaction
I help educators, leaders, and organizations position their learners for success by strengthening the intersection
Where Emotional Intelligence Meets Executive Function™
Why I Built JGC Inc.:
Neurodiversity in Education, Emotionally Intelligent Leadership & Systemic Inclusion
I founded JGC to change how education and care systems see and support diverse minds. Through my signature PAUSE™ / PAWS™ Frameworks, I help schools, organizations, and families build emotionally safe, developmentally aligned environments where learning and leadership can thrive.
What sets my approach apart?
My frameworks work at the intersection of emotional intelligence and executive function, helping teams to shift from reacting to reflecting, from burnout to balance, and from compliance to capacity, because
you can't regulate what you can't execute, and you can't execute when you're dysregulated
My mission is simple: help educators and leaders create systems that work for real people, not just ideal plans.

Educators & School Boards
Give your teams the tools to respond with calm, clarity, and confidence while reducing burnout and honouring capacity.
Equity-Focused Organizations & Institutions

Frameworks for Sustainable Change
The PAUSE™/PAWS™ framework creates a developmental bridge from adult self-regulation to child self-regulation. These complementary frameworks teach both generations to reflect before reacting, building the emotional intelligence and executive function integration that serves relationships, learning, and leadership.
-
For educators and leaders: use reflection before reaction to reduce impulsivity and burnout.
-
For children and caregivers: develop emotional literacy and self-regulation through play and reflection.

“Thank you, Jamelia, for facilitating the ADHD workshop with the team. It was a wonderful learning experience. We appreciate you showing up and sharing space with us. Your knowledge is invaluable. The strategies you shared with us are the most practical and smart we’ve ever heard. The students in the Peel region and across the GTHA as well as the folks working with them are now better equipped to support them. Looking forward to future collaborations. Keep up the amazing work. Many blessings.”
