Testimonials
“We discovered a few key areas that were blocking me from achieving my full leadership potential. My ILEC coach was instrumental to bring my self-awareness to a whole new level… His ongoing coaching has allowed me to transform myself as a leader and as a person.”
“Delivered with an unmatched style, ILEC's powerful coaching methods impacted me deeply, creating an enduring awareness of my inherent talents which have since been fueling both my personal and professional life.”
“ILEC's coaching provided me with an insight on my leadership qualities and potential; a road map to my career goals (via John's Assessment-Driven ILDP Tool); and a clear picture of my strengths and weaknesses that have made me the leader and person I am today.”
“Working and learning with ILEC as part of my leadership immersion experience provided an incredible experience in personal and professional development. Thank you.”
“Having the opportunity to work with my coach allowed me to get closer to my team. I learned about vulnerability and humbleness and how important they are to demonstrate as the CEO, and how they can impact performance as a team.”
Stay Ahead: The Risks of Leading Alone
Even the most talented leaders face risks when they lack the guidance of a skilled coach. Without intentional development, leaders risk:
Plateauing Progress
Without fresh perspectives and structured development, leaders can stagnate, missing opportunities for growth that drive both personal and organizational success.
Missed Alignment
Misaligned goals between leaders and their teams create friction, reduced engagement, and missed business outcomes that coaching helps prevent.
Increased Team Turnover
Leaders without self-awareness and emotional intelligence often struggle to retain top talent, leading to costly turnover and weakened team performance.

Executive Coaching: A Deeper Look
The Essential Role of Executive Leadership Coaching
Executive leadership coaching plays a critical role in helping senior leaders address the unique pressures of their positions. Unlike general training programs, executive coaching is a one-on-one partnership focused on the individual leader's specific challenges, goals, and context. Research consistently shows that leaders who receive coaching demonstrate stronger decision-making, improved team dynamics, and greater organizational impact. At JMG, we believe that every leader, regardless of tenure or success, can benefit from the accountability, perspective, and growth that coaching provides.
The Intelligent Leadership Approach to Deep Transformation
John Mattone's Intelligent Leadership framework goes beyond surface-level behavioral change. The methodology targets the inner-core drivers of leadership: values, character, beliefs, and emotional intelligence. By addressing these foundational elements alongside outer-core skills like strategic thinking and communication, leaders achieve transformation that is both deep and sustainable. This dual-focus approach is what distinguishes JMG coaching from programs that only address visible behaviors without understanding their root causes.
The Impact of Executive Coaching on Organizational Performance
Organizations that invest in executive coaching see returns that extend well beyond the individual leader. Coached leaders build stronger teams, reduce turnover, improve communication across departments, and drive innovation. JMG's proprietary LeaderWatch data shows consistent improvements in agility, creativity, team culture, and overall leadership effectiveness. These outcomes translate directly into measurable business results, making executive coaching one of the highest-ROI investments an organization can make.
Key Components of Intelligent Leadership Coaching
The IL coaching process consists of several integrated components: in-depth diagnostics (MLEI, STLI-360, and leadership shadowing), a customized Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP), regular one-on-one coaching sessions, ongoing LeaderWatch monitoring, and structured feedback loops. Each component reinforces the others, creating a cohesive development experience that builds momentum over time. The process is designed to be rigorous but flexible, adapting to the leader's evolving needs and organizational context.
The Role of the Executive Coach
A JMG executive coach serves as a trusted partner, accountability partner, and mirror for the leader. Our coaches are certified through the Intelligent Leadership Executive Certification (ILEC) program, which carries 192 ICF credits and is recognized as one of the top coaching certifications globally. Each coach brings deep expertise in the IL methodology, ensuring consistency and quality across all engagements. The coach-leader relationship is built on trust, candor, and a shared commitment to growth.
Coaching Models and Methodologies at JMG
JMG employs several interconnected coaching models, including the Intelligent Leadership framework, the Stealth Cultural Transformation Model® (SCTM), and the Leadership Maturity Model. These models provide structured approaches to different aspects of leadership development, from individual inner-core work to organizational culture transformation. By integrating multiple models, JMG coaches can address the full spectrum of leadership challenges, from personal effectiveness to enterprise-wide strategic alignment.
