• The Intelligent Leader: Unlocking the 7 Secrets to Leading Others and Leaving Your Legacy

  In today’s business world, we find ourselves in a conundrum: all businesses crave superior leadership, yet such leadership is in massive short supply. While there have never been so many books, blogs, speakers, and seminars on leadership, global organizations are finding that the supply of leadership talent is significantly lagging the supply of raw intellectual horsepower. There is no shortage of intellect in the world of business; however, when it comes to superior leadership, most global organizations are realizing how difficult it is to compete simply because they just don’t have enough great leaders in their ranks. In addition, the challenge of preparing the next generation of leaders to handle the fiercely competitive global landscape and lightning fast pace of change that defines this era, is proving almost insurmountable. John Mattone has found a solution to this leadership paradox and developed an approach that cuts right to the core of what holds leaders back from greatness and future leaders from achieving their potential. It’s what has made him the world’s top executive coach, the “coach of coaches”, and what has drawn Fortune 500 CEOs—from the late Steve Jobs to PepsiCo’s Roger Enrico—to seek his counsel. And fortunately for the business world, Mattone’s secrets are no longer being shared exclusively in boardrooms and executive suites, but now also in his newest Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Intelligent Leader and his powerful keynote, based on the book. Key Elements of John’s Presentation: • Think Different; Think Big • The Power of the “Vulnerability Decision” • Leveraging “Gifts” and Addressing “Gaps” • The Courage to Execute as the Instigator to Agility in Learning and Innovation! • Possessing the ‘Privilege Mindset” • Being Vigilant • Course-Correcting

• IGNiTE Your Inner-Core: LiVE the Life You Deserve

  What makes John Mattone’s approach to leadership and helping people achieve lasting life success so unique, is his focus on helping people develop what he calls their “inner core,” which requires that they get in touch with their deeper purpose, strengthening their character, and clarifying their values. This sets his philosophy apart from the many leadership and life development approaches that try to “steal first base” by skipping over this critical foundational piece and focusing more on “outer core” skill development—like strategic thinking, decisiveness, and the drive for results. And, while these “hard” skills are important for competent leadership and life success, John Mattone has found that developing an individual’s inner core is the key to unlocking deeper leadership and life potential. In fact, Mattone has found again and again that an individual’s capacity for improvement in their outer core—whether they want to become a better leader, better parent, better family member, better community servant, better spouse, etc., is directly tied to the strength, vibrancy and maturity of their inner core. This powerful and truly game-changing keynote will ignite your soul and show you the pathway to achieving and living a life that brings abundance to others—and yourself. This is the life you deserve to live. Key Elements of John’s Presentation: • It’s not about the person you want to become; it’s about the person you must become. • The power of being vulnerable • Knowing your gifts and being proud to “explode” them • Knowing your weaknesses and having the courage to address them--always • The 4 Values that will bring you success and happiness • The mindset of “duty” versus “entitlement • The best predictor of your future is not your past.

• Intelligent Innovation: The Road to Reinvention & Renewal.

  In this power-packed program, based on John Mattone’s Amazon and Inc. Magazine Bestseller, Cultural Transformations, John reveals the critical steps that must be planned-out and executed in order for any organization to create and sustain an innovative, winning culture that engages, inspires and unleashes talent in support of driving breakthrough results. The road to reinvention and renewal for any organization is based on having a workforce—from top to bottom, who are “centered”, happy, and passionate about making themselves better but also their organization better. The real pathway to achieving sustained success in any organization lies in creating a culture of innovation in which employees and teams possess both the mindset and skills to be positively disruptive, courageous and driven along with and, perhaps ironically, having a deep sense of vulnerability and human connection.

• Transforming Culture…The Road to Reinvention & Renewal.

  The road to reinvention and renewal for any organization is based on having a workforce—from top to bottom, who are “centered”, happy, and passionate about making themselves better but also their organization better—John Mattone In John Mattone’s newest power-packed program, based on his recent Amazon and Inc. Magazine Best-Seller, Cultural Transformations he reveals the critical steps that must be planned-out and executed in order for any organization to create and sustain a renewed, winning culture that engages, inspires and unleashes talent in support of driving breakthrough results. The road to reinvention and renewal for any organization is based on having a workforce—from top to bottom, who are “centered”, happy, and passionate about making themselves better but also their organization better. The real pathway to achieving sustained success in any organization lies in creating a culture of “centeredness”. The challenge for global organizations as well as the small to mid-sized entrepreneurial organizations is not “how do we make our people happy”? The real challenge is “how do we ensure that all our people are “centered” so they are poised and passionate to be the best they can be every day? It is through “centeredness”, that passion, happiness, joy and true engagement happens. But, it is culture that drives happiness and engagement and, ultimately, it is culture that drives operating success. Culture is the foundation from which successful organizations are built—however, most struggle to create an environment in which employees can be fulfilled, effective in their work, and feel “unleashed”. What exactly is it that makes some organizations achieve and sustain breakthrough success, while others struggle with transforming their cultures…whether it involves crafting a new compelling vision and culture or merging cultures? Based on years of research and advising Fortune1000 CEO’s and senior leadership teams and his in-depth interviews with 14 global CEO’s who are succeeding in positively transforming their cultures, John Mattone argues that the highest performing organizations both embrace and execute his 6 critical steps to achieving transformation, but transforming culture always begins in the C-Suite with a CEO and senior leadership team that must be willing to be “vulnerable” both individually and collectively. In this dynamic presentation, John Mattone details the essence of what is meant by the “vulnerability decision” as well as the other critical steps that must be embraced and executed in order for your organization to effectively accelerate its’ own reinvention.

• World-Class HR Leadership: It’s About Talent, Leadership & Being a Great HR Partner

  The conversation about HR having a “seat at the table” is over. The door is wide open and the Human Resources function has its seat; increasingly one being populated by HR Business Partners that are aligned with business units rather than, or in addition to a centralized HR function. But for many organizations that have filled these roles with HR generalists, long on skills in the HR function but short on experience in other areas of the business, these partnerships are proving frustrating for both sides. Now, more than ever, HR professionals need a whole new set of competencies, some related to talent and some related to business to deliver the results their organizations are looking for.
