I'm a highly experienced Executive Coach having been coaching for over 20 years, both inside and outside of organisations. I understands the pressures, challenges and politics of being a senior Executive having been Director at one of the Big 4 organisations before I became a full-time Coach. As an aside from my coaching practice, during 2019 I'm President of a 4,500 strong prestigious membership organisation where I'm leading the board to design and implement innovative strategy and maintain change momentum.
A big part of what I do is build resilience so that my clients are constantly learning from the experiences they have.
One of my clients recently said after working with me "My coach's guidance helps me bring clarity to a chaotic thought process and extract nuggets of brilliance I knew were there, but just could not find myself.”

Case Study - Drake & Morgan

Notion's support has evolved over the years to include coaching and development programmes for other Board members and the management team.
Jillian MacLean is founder and CEO
of Drake & Morgan, which consists of

early career in a variety of different roles

Morgan, which she launched in 2008.
In 2013, she was awarded an MBE in
the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2013,
for services to the hospitality industry.
Watch this video of Jillian talking about why she chose to work with Notion, and her experiences with us
"I starting working with Notion in the early growth period of the business. I found the sessions we had together, in planning for the future of the business and my own personal performance, to be instrumental in preparing me to lead the buyout for the business. My coach has enabled me to focus on creating shareholder value, while at the same time challenging me to consider the existing multiples and leverage.
The qualities I appreciate about my coach are that she is objective, clear, concise, and exceptionally challenging of myself and of the business. The quality I value most about her is her great sense of humour. My coach was definitely our secret weapon in terms of helping me to think through the detail of the management buyout process. I thoroughly recommend Notion to anyone who requires this level of support."

"I really enjoyed working with my Coach – she gave me the space to think and reach my own conclusions, but also asked great questions along the way to help with my thinking and to really challenge me. At times she shared others’ experiences and what worked for them which helped me figure out what might work for me. Over the 8 months I was working with Notion I really developed in my role. Thanks!”
Group Head, Sainsbury's"My coach was very flexible and helpful in every way. The insights, tips and tools I got were “spot on” every single time, and I am greatly thankful for that. Enlightening, provoking, inspiring and reflective, my coach had a great sense of humour and some of the phrases they used to help my understanding will stay with me forever."

"The coaching has been really rewarding. I have learned how to communicate clearly with my team and to reflect on my leadership skills. My coach was a phenomenal listener and gave me fantastic tips to improve my performance. This was done whilst creating a safe yet challenging environment. My coach had that natural ability to make you recognize your own potential and help to guide you towards it. Therefore due to their help I have grown more confident in my role, being able to look at different approaches then focusing on taking action."
Maxine Bissell, Les Ambassadeurs
"The personal and business benefits gained from coaching with my coach were invaluable. The techniques she introduced me to helped me reach sound conclusions on issues I was dealing with. There was no real requirement to understand the type of business I run, more the way I run it or want to run it, therefore our time was maximised in dealing with the key objectives I wanted to improve on or problems I encountered where I needed a voice of reason to help see the way forward. This was a true partnership in every sense of the word."

Results You Can Expect From Notion
8 Most Common Reasons why Senior Leaders consider Executive Coaching:
- Because you are already good and recognise that it’s going to take that bit extra to become Outstanding! - In the same way that top sportsmen and women will always seek out the top coaches in their field, you too should have an Executive Coach that will encourage you to reach your potential. Your Executive Coach will hold you accountable for the actions that you agree to complete, will make demands of you that will continually stretch your performance and will push, challenge, cajole and motivate you to achieve them. They will also be there to be the first to congratulate you on a job well done!
- You are moving into a new, more Senior role, and would like support during this crucial period - You need to 'hit the ground running' and are particularly vulnerable in the first few months as you will lack an in-depth knowledge of the challenges you'll face and what it will take to succeed within the new role. Call us to learn more about our specific programmes to support new roles and promotions.
- You are involved in delivering or running a strategic change programme and failure isn't an option - Any strategic change programme demands rigour and having a safe space to brainstorm and plan the way ahead for your team can be critical to the overall projects success. Coaching can help ensure all aspects of the programme run on time and delivers the results. Often taking a coaching approach brings projects in ahead of time and budget.
- You have a lot of business experience but have neglected your own personal development - You may work hard to ensure that people in your team receive all of the appropriate training, but your own development needs have moved beyond generic training. As a result, you have neglected your own development. Choosing to work with an Executive Coach from Notion is not a personal indulgence but a significant investment in your rapid development. Your coaching relationship will focus like a laser on the key aspects that will make a difference to you and your performance, now. Together, you will establish key measures of improvement and work diligently at removing any obstacles that might prevent you from achieving the desired results i.e. ensuring that there is a return on that investment.
You feel that you have reached a plateau in your current role and need to reignite your passion to strive for the next level - Working with your Executive Coach can help you build a strong impression of the value you have to contribute to your organisation and together help you discover career avenues that will allow you once again to contribute at your highest capability level.
- You believe that you simply aren’t getting the best out of your people and that your team as a whole isn’t as effective as it could and should be - ‘Leadership’ is the new watchword for career success, but defining the elements of leadership that you need to build upon in order to motivate your team’s performance is an area that can be explored more fully through working with your Executive Coach. For example, striking the balance between professional aloofness and intimacy with your team has a significant impact on the respect you are accorded as a leader.
- You are swamped by the volume of work you are expected to deliver – like any modern Executive, we are bombarded by high volumes of work in a fast moving and changing landscape. Your Executive Coach can act as a sounding board and offer an alternative perspective that it can sometimes be difficult to gain for yourself. Together you will work to identify the fundamental issues that need to be addressed and select activities with confidence that you know will make the difference.
- The results that you achieve don’t seem to justify your efforts - If you want to continue doing what you have always done it should come as no surprise that you will get the same results. Notion's Executive Coaches will challenge your status quo and get you focused on taking action now that will enable you to make the improvements that matter. We call this ‘focusing on the fundamentals’ and it will involve change, so you need to be open to this for it to be successful – the results can often be dramatic!

Something to think about
“Business coaching is attracting America’s top CEOs because, put simply, business coaching works. In fact, when asked for a conservative estimate of monetary payoff from the coaching they got… managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies.”
FORTUNE Magazine
“Executives should seek coaching] when they feel that a change in behaviour-either for themselves or their team members-can make a significant difference in the long-term success of the organisation.”
Marshall Goldsmith, Fast Company Columnist
