Fletcher is new Blanchard Institute executive director

Terrell Fletcher is the new executive director of the nonprofit Blanchard Institute after being appointed to the new post by The Ken Blanchard Companies®, a global leader in management training, consulting and coaching.

The Blanchard Institute provides access to training, research, and development programs that build resiliency and resourcefulness in young people around the world, helping students of all ages and experience levels develop the life and leadership skills they need to thrive.

One of the institute’s innovative programs is The Student Self Leadership® course, offered free to teens 14 to 18 to help them understand how to navigate the world, reach their potential and succeed in life.

Fletcher is a pastor, former NFL running back and a certified professional life coach with a rich background in leadership, community service and volunteerism.

He stepped into the executive director job in January.

“In this role I’m thrilled to be able to share the work of the Blanchard Institute with even more people,” he said. “I can’t think of a better mission than to improve the leadership skills of our future generations. I’m proud to partner with the Blanchard family to bring this initiative to life.”

“Legacy is of extreme importance to me—especially family legacy,” Fletcher said. “I am proud to be a Fletcher and accept the responsibility to live out the values of our family name.

I bring that same attention to the Blanchard name and the legacy being created by the Blanchard

Institute,” he continued. “I’m excited to bring this valuable cause to communities, schools, and organizations so young people everywhere are equipped to become the best version of themselves they can be.”

Scott Blanchard, president of The Ken Blanchard Companies, said Fletcher is a great fit in the new role.

“Terrell brings 20 years of experience in nonprofit and faithbased leadership and service to this new venture. I’m delighted to have his experience, but I’m even more excited that he brings his kind heart, strong values and unfaltering dedication to our cause. I am honored to have him on board.”
