“As we reopen our parks, we do so with an abundance of caution for our Team Members and Guests,” says CEO Steve Yeffa. “We care deeply about the communities we are in.”

Flight Fit N Fun is reopening its 13 U.S. locations, implementing stringent safety measures to ensure the well-being of employees and visitors at the indoor trampoline and adventure parks.

“As we reopen our parks, we do so with an abundance of caution for our Team Members and Guests,” says CEO Steve Yeffa. “We care deeply about the communities we are in.”

To create the best possible experience for visitors, Flight introduced several safeguards at all of its parks to help prevent potential exposure and spread of the COVID-19 virus. Among them:

  • A new antimicrobial fogging system has been installed at all locations. This water-based system prevents the growth of bacteria and viruses.
  • All parks are operating at reduced capacity to maintain physical distancing.
  • Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets and sign waivers online to minimize physical contact at the parks.
  • Every team member must get a temperature check before starting their shifts. They are also required to wear face masks throughout their shifts.
  • Every Flight park follows health and safety guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as respective local government agencies.

The health and well-being of Flight guests has been a primary concern during this pandemic. While the parks were closed, activities were offered for children and families to do at home, and we will continue to provide those. For more information, visit flightfitnfun.com.

John Mattone Launches New Revolutionary Executive Coaching Franchise


News Image

We believe ILEC will provide massive opportunities to experienced leaders looking to leave the corporate world and pursue the next exciting phase of their life and careers.

John Mattone, the world’s top executive coach, has recently announced the launch of a new revolutionary leadership and development franchise, Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching—Pioneered by John Mattone (ILEC).

Since re-launching his business in 2011, John Mattone’s passion and vision has been: “Change the World One Leader, One Coach at a Time.” It is in this spirit that he created his proprietary Intelligent Leadership® philosophy, process, and unique content to help global executive coaches make a real difference in solving the global leadership problem.

The problem this aims to solve revolves around developing stronger leaders at all levels; accelerating the development of high potentials and millennial emerging leaders; and, helping organizations build and sustain strong cultures. These are the keys to every organization achieving and sustaining success. For the past two years, he and his team have been working to determine the most accessible opportunity to achieve his vision. After reviewing a variety of options, they determined creating a revolutionary franchise offering would be the ideal option.

John Mattone and his company, John Mattone Global, Inc., have partnered with Terry Powell, the visionary founder of Franchise Source Brands International and The Entrepreneur’s Source, to co-found and launch their revolutionary leadership coaching and development franchise offering, Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching—Pioneered by John Mattone (ILEC).

Franchises will be awarded initially in the United States and Canada, with ambitious plans for international expansion beginning in 2021.

Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching—Pioneered by John Mattone, will provide entrepreneurial opportunities to thousands of executives, leaders and coaches looking to start and run a successful leadership coaching practice. They will learn from John Mattone and his team of IL Coach Advisors, while being supported by the world’s #1 coaching franchise.

“There is a growing need for this type of executive leadership coaching,” says Powell. “As companies rid their rosters of older managers in high-paying positions, they’re replaced by younger faces who may have the skills to do the job, but lack knowledge on how to inspire and motivate the team they suddenly have looking to them for leadership.”

John Mattone stated: “We are honored and excited to be partnering with Terry Powell and his stellar team, both in launching and operating Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching ILEC). I see ILEC as filling a massive void in the world of executive coach franchising. Most business coach franchises tend to dabble in leadership and executive coaching. And, frankly, they lack the depth, authority and pedigree required to be successful in positioning, selling and delivering world-class executive coaching that sophisticated clients demand in today’s VUCA world. We believe ILEC will provide massive opportunities to experienced leaders looking to leave the corporate world and pursue the next exciting phase of their life and careers. Upon being awarded an ILEC franchise, they will learn and apply the ILEC philosophy, process, content, and tools that they will need to help solve the global leadership problem.”

For more information about Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching (ILEC) franchise opportunities, contact trevor@johnmattone.com or call 1-855-433-5945.

About Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching (ILEC)

OMAC students raise funds for frontline workers with Kick COVID-19 campaign


In an attempt to do their bit for frontline workers who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the OMAC World Class Martial Arts school has kicked-off a fundraising initiative for the Oakville Hospital Foundation. The 40-year-old institution’s young students have taken to social media to promote the Kick COVID-19 “Break-a-Thon” campaign, where they put their physical prowess on display by breaking a wooden board with their favorite kick.

The Break-a-thon also gives students an opportunity to channelize their time and energy at being creative while learning about gratitude and developing a positive approach in a time of crisis.

The initiative has received an overwhelming response since it kicked off on May 2 and continues to encourage students to showcase what they’ve learnt at OMAC. The students that raise the most funds will receive prizes and gift cards from OMAC. The Gofundme Page Link (https://www.gofundme.com/f/kick-covid19).

Harrison Chan, CEO of OMAC says, “Mudo! We are so proud of our students and families of OMAC for supporting this cause. While our locations might be closed for now, we’ve been excited to adapt and continue being a part of our students’ lives. Our online programs have been thriving, and our students continue to persevere despite these challenges. Our constant objective is to exemplify the importance of facing hardship head-on. We call this our “fighting spirit”, that part of us that never gives up. Who better to exemplify this during this challenge than our frontline healthcare workers. We can’t thank you all enough for your sacrifice and dedication. Our frontline healthcare workers have the strongest fighting spirit, and this is the least we can do for them.”

Nevada Munro, a parent of a student at OMAC says, “Thank you for providing zoom classes to the kids and for creating such a worthy go fund me page. Healthcare needs all the help we can give right now.”
