ABOUT iLN

We're not here to tell you what matters. We're here to help you figure out
what actually does

iLN exists because women are tired of being told what to fix —
and ready to get clear on what's actually theirs.

iLN exists because women are
tired of being told what to fix —
and ready to get clear on
what's actually theirs.
WHY iLN EXISTS 

We're not selling self-improvement. We're selling relief from it.

The self-improvement industry will always have another book, another course, another morning routine for you to try. And most of it is built on the assumption that you're not enough yet.

iLN starts somewhere different. You're not broken. You're not behind. You just haven't had the right tools to get clear on what actually matters — to you, specifically, not everyone else.

Different things drive different people - what drives you?

WHAT WE BELIEVE 

Three beliefs that shape everything we build.

Different things
drive different people.

There's no one-size-fits-all path.
What works for her might not work for you —
and that's not a flaw. That's the whole point.
Your drivers are yours.

Clarity is the starting point,
not the finish line.

Once you know what actually matters to you, everything else gets easier — 
the right decisions, the right focus, 
the right next step.

You're not behind.
You just need a filter.

The world has too much noise and not enough signal. You were never the problem. iLN gives you the filter — so you can stop doing everything and start doing your thing.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Makenzie. 

I'm not a coach, a TikTok guru, or someone with a perfect morning routine.

I'm just a woman who got tired of watching women (myself included) feel stuck. Always one step behind in their own life. Doing all the right things, reading all the right books, eating the right stuff, showing up for everyone else — and still feeling like it wasn't enough.

So I built this.

Not because I have it all figured out — I don't. But because I know what it feels like when the fog finally lifts and you can see clearly again. And I've watched enough women have that moment to know it changes everything.

You deserve that clarity. And you shouldn't have to read every self-help book, sit through 172 hours of guru podcasts, or spend thousands on therapy to get there. You already have what it takes — you just need the right tools to see it.

iLN was built on one belief: different things drive different people. What works for me might not work for you — and that's the whole point. This experience meets you exactly where you are, and helps you get to where you actually want to go.

What drives you?

- Makenzie Barton

OUR ROOTS

25 years of proof - brought into your life.

iLN didn't come from a trend. It came from decades of real experience.

My father, Derrick Barton, founded the Center for Talent Solutions — and spent 25 years helping companies around the globe answer one core question: "What's most critical to engage you, perform at your best, and stay?"

Companies like GE, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's, Microsoft, John Deere, Baylor Healthcare, and Unilever — across 37 countries — trusted this work. Supporting millions of employees and generating over a billion dollars in value, the results spoke for themselves.

The tool behind it all was the TALENT Drivers — a hands-on resource that gave people an easy, fast way to identify what actually drove them at work, and connect those drivers to real solutions that created measurable impact.

People didn't just perform better — they came alive. We watched entire teams shift when individuals finally saw their own drivers clearly.

FROM WORK TO LIFE

Then 2020 happened — and life refused to stay in second place.

Suddenly nobody cared about work-life balance anymore. Life took center stage. People started asking bigger questions — not just about their jobs, but about everything.

Why am I doing what I'm doing? How do I want to live? Who do I want to be around? Where am I actually going?

That's when it clicked: the same thing that made people thrive at work could make them thrive in life.

We took everything proven with the TALENT Drivers and expanded it beyond the office, the healthcare setting, the retail store, and the remote work situation — 50 drivers for the whole human experience. Tested inside companies first, then realized people needed this for themselves — not just their jobs.

The LIFEDrivers were born.

Same rigor. Same proof. Same obsession with "different things drive different people." Just pointed at the life you actually live — not the one you clock in for.

And the best part? It starts the minute you open the box.

THE WAVE ISN'T JUST A LOGO

Riding The Wave.

Our logo serves as a nod to how life moves. 

Life doesn’t ask permission.
One day it’s calm and smooth.
The next it’s pushing you under, 
and you wonder if you’ll come up for air.

But the ocean never stops moving;
and neither do we. 

It's continuous, ever-evolving,
with tides that shift just like we do.

The wave reminds us: 
You don’t control the water...
but you can decide how you ride it.

Navigate the twists. Seize the adventures.
Savor the moments. Stay fully in the now.

That's what we call JOURNEYing:  
The honest, messy, beautiful ride
of actually living.
