Why Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching Is the Solution for Leaders and Corporations Striving for Success Amid the Pandemic

Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching® (ILEC), the world’s top executive coaching franchise with decades of coaching success, just might be the answer for companies and leaders re-focusing their retention strategies as millions of Americans have exited the workforce throughout the pandemic. 

In what’s being called “The Great Resignation,” 11.5 million U.S. workers have quit their jobs in the three-month span between April and June 2021. But why? Recent studies have shown it’s more than the desire for higher pay, more time off and the ability to work from home. Instead, workers want meaning behind what they’re doing. They need employers to give them a reason to spend eight hours of their day on work. 

“We’re learning that people are expecting and demanding a better, more inclusive, respectful culture from their employers,” said ILEC franchisee and Coach John Burt. “So the number of inquiries we’ve had has gone up, with leaders asking for help building a better culture, especially in a hybrid in-person and virtual environment. I believe that change leadership is one of those areas that really needs help from Coaches like us, because 75% of all change initiatives fail.”

Unmatched by competitors in the industry, ILEC — launched in 2010 by award-winning executive coaching authority John Mattone and franchising legend Terry Powell — offers a suite of award-winning training, certification and proprietary tools that allow the brand to measure the program’s ROI.

The brand’s proven coaching methodology develops stronger leaders at all levels — from C-level executives to middle managers, small business owners to high potentials — accelerating the development of leaders while helping organizations build and sustain strong cultures and avoid widespread employee attrition.

“Burnout is a huge factor in ‘The Great Resignation’,’' said Mattone. “Employees are stretched too thin, overworked and lack a sense of meaning in their careers. They’re not getting the emotional support they need to be successful, and they’re questioning why they’re spending so much time at work. ILEC’s Coaches can help these employees and their executives develop a stronger company culture, one that promotes a more compassionate, civilized and enjoyable atmosphere.” 

ILEC franchisees are trained by the best in the business, including Mattone — recognized by GlobalGurus.org as one of the top three coaching authorities in the world — alongside Tony Robbins and Marshall Goldsmith.

“As Coaches, we’ve seen leadership from every vantage point,” Burt said. “We see C-level executives but also work down to the shop floor with employees to help them change their business processes and the way they lead their teams. Executive coaches have a solid understanding of what skill sets and competencies make for a good leader.”

ILEC Coaches go through six rigorous training programs for their Master Certification.   

“I see ILEC as filling a massive void in the world of executive coaching,” Mattone said. “All ILEC Coaches bring significant senior executive experience to their client engagements. They have a strong and authoritative pedigree, but they’re real people who have achieved real results in their businesses and lives, and they are passionate about helping their clients achieve the same. They are experts in applying the ILEC philosophy, process, content and tools needed to help you and your organization develop stronger leaders, accelerate the development of high potentials and millennial emerging leaders and help you build and sustain a culture that everyone is proud of. These are the keys to every organization becoming successful and staying successful.”

The ILEC blueprint has transformed the lives of nearly 1,000 CEOs, entrepreneurs and executives — including the late Steve Jobs of Apple, top government agents, entrepreneurs, company leaders and athletes — and impacted the success of thousands of organizations across 53 countries to date.

The ILEC family — including franchisees, clients and the corporate team — work together, creating a synergy of passion and deep pride in changing the world one leader and one organization at a time.
