Some time ago, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronnyshumaker/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-22-year-healthcare-industry-professional-found-success-with-intelligent-leadership-executive-coaching-2717742" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ron Shumaker</a>, a former operational leader with 22 years experience in the healthcare industry, decided to pivot his career at the height of the pandemic. He knew he wanted to be “out on his own, employment-wise.” Three days before his 60th birthday, Shumaker signed a franchise agreement with Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching (ILEC).&nbsp;But the seasoned leader knew how to make the most of his circumstances, and he quickly found an opportunity to fulfill his dream of business ownership as an owner of <a href="https://ilecfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-22-year-healthcare-industry-professional-found-success-with-intelligent-leadership-executive-coaching-2717742" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching</a> (ILEC), the world’s leading executive coaching franchise.Given his personal experience turning a potential career crisis into an opportunity for growth, Shumaker is well equipped to offer his advice to other professionals struggling in their career due to COVID-19 or other circumstances, and there is no shortage of struggling professionals these days, Shumaker says.“COVID had a huge negative impact on employee retention,” Shumaker said. “Fear is a real thing and a motivating factor for so many decisions. People are getting creative with ways to make money. They are looking for different ways to work from home without the stress of having to go to work for a 40–50 hour week. But the pandemic has also kept many people in jobs they might have otherwise left because they have been able to work from home. In those cases, it has been a benefit.”Shumaker says the professional world today is starkly different than it was two years ago, and leadership styles have either adapted or fallen by the wayside. As an ILEC franchisee, Shumaker says he is “looking outside the box and thinking differently” and encouraging his clients to look at ways to adapt while still adhering to the values most important to their respective industries.&nbsp;“If you have a leader who has done the same thing for 30 years and is accustomed to a way of doing things that is suddenly not available, they’re going to be in trouble,” Shumaker said. “COVID has forced everyone to think differently, so I tell people not to resist that.”About Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching (ILEC)Established in 2010, Co-Founder John Mattone is globally recognized as the world’s #1 authority on Intelligent Leadership (IL), the world’s top executive coach, and the pioneer of the unique, powerful and game-changing Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching® blueprint for success.
