## Story

Only 15% of employees feel engaged in the workplace, which means 85% of people in the global workforce are disengaged. Studies show that only 12% of top executives feel their leaders have the right mindsets to lead them forward.

For a variety of reasons, including low productivity and motivation, as well as the cost of high employee turnover, these disengaged employees are costing organizations between 450-550 billion dollars each year.

Leadership development is crucial, as 74% of North American organizations rate it as important or very important. This is where Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching comes in, which understands that great leadership has a direct link between the engagement levels of an organization's employees.

Companies know how effective leadership executive coaching can be, with one study concluding that executive coaching produced a 788% ROI for those who chose to utilize coaches. Surveys from the International Coaching Federation show that 86% of organizations saw a ROI when they engaged with coaches.

With such incredible ROIs and so many employees that feel disengaged, there have never been more opportunities for leadership executive coaches to make a difference.
