Testimonials from the Gulf's Executive Leadership

So many people think they want to be leaders, but few do what it takes to succeed. Intelligent Leadership is perfect for those who want to do the inner work and take the kind of responsibility required to lead and inspire others.

Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Qatar

JMG has provided C-level coaching for us for the past two years. Because of the dramatic success of these initiatives, we are now utilizing JMG Master Coaches to provide executive coaching for our next-level down of 80 managers.

Abu Dhabi Executive Office, UAE

JMG's Cultural Transformation 3-Day conducted for our Senior executive team was a major success. Everyone was highly engaged before, during and after the Retreat due to the multi-faceted and comprehensive approach.

Almansoori Engineering, UAE

John Mattone has helped some of the world's most influential leaders, including those in Dubai. His coaching is transformative.

CEO in Dubai (confidential)

Dear Professor John, We would like to thank you for delivering an excellent seminar to our senior executive team! Everyone enjoyed and benefited from this event! We will advise you soon for our next event which will be related to leadership coaching. Again, thank you!

Dr. Mohammed Ahmed Al Yassi, Head of Training, Al Hosn Gas, Abu Dhabi

Don't be fooled by all of the hyperbolic and 'quick tip' advice for leadership success. Great leadership starts and ends with a good, hard look in the mirror and a willingness to do what it takes to improve — for your own sake and for the sake of those around you. That's what Intelligent Leadership is all about.
