Melanie Lobo, a corporate trainer and facilitator based in Pune, India, knows that the secret to reaching massive numbers isn't actually about counting them at all. As a 2025 Top Facilitator Award winner, Melanie achieved one of the highest levels of global reach in the #IAmRemarkable community. Yet, her philosophy for success is entirely grounded in the human element of her workshops.
In a numbers-based category like Top Facilitator, it is incredibly easy to get caught up in the competitive nature of the award. Melanie recognized this trap early on and made a conscious decision to shift her perspective entirely, choosing to focus on the joy of delivering the sessions to everyone from students to senior leaders.
By removing the pressure of the competition, she freed herself to focus entirely on the quality of her sessions. She transformed her workshops into deeply safe, transformative spaces where participants felt truly heard and empowered to own their achievements.
Melanie’s approach proves a powerful point: when you bring genuine value to the table, the numbers take care of themselves.
Delivering #IAmRemarkable workshops became a passion for me, and that passion kept pushing me to do more and reach as many people as I could. The award was really a by-product of something I genuinely loved doing!
Melanie LoboDon’t focus too much on the numbers or the leaderboard. Focus on the people in the room, the difference you can make, and the value you can bring. Believe in yourself, keep showing up, and keep doing the work. You never know where it will take you.
