behind the work
The Intelligent Leadership® Online Academy is grounded in the Intelligent Leadership® framework developed by John Mattone and used globally with senior leaders and high-potential talent. The methodology is built on an inside–outphilosophy: strengthening the leader first, so decisions, behaviors, and results follow naturally.
As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC, ICF) and a Master Executive Intelligent Leadership® Coach — a designation held by a limited number of practitioners worldwide — I work with this framework both in individual executive coaching and in scalable leadership development formats.
What distinguishes this work is the intentional integration of learning, reflection, and application. ILOA focuses on developing a leader’s Inner Core: values, character, self-awareness, and emotional maturity. Strengthening this foundation supports clearer judgment, more grounded decision-making under pressure, and leadership behaviors that hold over time.
The program is research-based and globally applied, designed around small, focused actions practiced consistently — not one-off insights or motivation without follow-through.
With 15 years of international experience across HR, Talent, and Organizational Development, alongside extensive training in leadership development, executive coaching, embodiment, and cross-cultural awareness, I bring contextual sensitivity and practical grounding to this work.
I’m proud to partner with John Mattone Global and to offer the Intelligent Leadership® Online Academy as a structured, research-based leadership program for my clients.
ILOA is not about inspiration for inspiration’s sake. It is about building leadership capacity that lasts, scales, and holds under real pressure — supporting meaningful growth at both individual and organizational levels over time.

Considering ILOA, but not sure it’s the right fit yet?
Sometimes the next step isn’t an answer —
it’s a conversation.
Leaders often come to this work with a sense that something isn’t fully landing — in their leadership impact, decision-making, or influence — even if it’s hard to name at first. That’s a valid place to begin.
If this resonates, we can start with a conversation.
No commitment. No pressure.
