The Intelligent Leadership Certification program is structured to help coaches work at both the “inner core” and “outer core” levels of leadership development, integrating character, values and emotional maturity with observable skills and competencies. Through a combination of live sessions, practical tools, supervised coaching and assessments, participants are trained to support C-suite and high-potential leaders through measurable development journeys.
“Our Intelligent Leadership Certification is built to give coaches a rigorous, structured way to help leaders grow,” said John Mattone, founder of John Mattone Global. “We are proud that the program now offers 192 ICF-approved credits, because it reflects the depth, standards and accountability that organizations and leaders are asking for from their coaches.”
The next phase of the certification includes expanded modules on culture transformation, succession readiness and leading in an environment shaped by artificial intelligence and digital disruption. Coaches are trained to use proprietary tools such as leadership inventories and cultural models that support data-driven coaching engagements aligned with organizational goals.
“Coaches tell us they need more than theory; they need a system they can rely on with senior leaders who face intense pressure and scrutiny,” Mattone added. “This program is designed to give them that system, along with the credentials and structure they need to work confidently at the highest levels.”
The 192 ICF credits position the Intelligent Leadership Certification among the more extensive coach-education offerings in the executive and leadership coaching segment. The program is aimed at experienced coaches, HR and talent-development professionals, and former executives who are moving into coaching roles and seeking a pathway that supports both professional development and international recognition.
Enrollment for the new phase of the Intelligent Leadership Certification is open to participants in the United States, the Middle East and other global markets through both virtual and in-person formats, depending on cohort and location. Interested coaches can apply through John Mattone Global’s website.
