6Meet John Mattone, the World's Top Executive Coach, Founder of John Mattone Global, Inc., and Two Other Game-Changing Leadership Development Companies.Who is John Mattone?I am most proud of my family. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Gayle, for 42 years. I met her at 15 years old, just before we went into our junior year in HS. We dated through HS and got married upon college graduation. We have four grown children--Jared, who is in the US Navy, Nicholas who works at JMG as our Chief Relationship Officer; Kristina, a talented 5th-grade teacher; and Matthew, who works for JMG as our Chief Operations Officer. We have four grandchildren as well. Professionally, I am humbly recognized as the world's top executive coach. I am 64 years old. After graduate school, I worked in the corporate world before striking out on my own at 30years old. From 30-40, I ran my first consulting firm--Mattone Enterprises--and I traveled the globe, delivering speeches and seminars. I delivered over 1500 in those ten years and wrote two books--both of which were unsuccessful. Even though my company survived, it was challenging for me to raise four children while being gone 75% of the time. I put tremendous pressure on Gayle being gone so much and looking back much of that decade, and I would say I was motivated by my ego and search for acclaim and recognition. I was selfish in many respects, and my journey was a lot about me and what I could do to bolster my ego. In the end, my damaged ego and drained bank account led me back to the corporate world, where I was able to rebuild myself over the next 14 years. Most of my 14 years were spent in HR and leadership consulting in various leadership roles such as Regional Sales Manager, SVP of Sales, President, etc. Even though I was able to do well and support my family, I still had the typical ups and downs many people go through in business. I got fired once and was laid off twice in those 14 years, and through the ups and down's I was able to grow and become tougher--resilient. I had good bosses and bad ones. I had many successes and failures along the way--in retrospect, if it wasn't for these 14 years in the corporate world, there is no way I would have Meet the World's Top Executive Coach
