What Our Clients Have Said...
"I’ve absolutely loved working with my coach during the last year. Their breadth of skill and diversity of thought allowed for wide-ranging exploration of my objectives and helped me get to a place way further on than I’d ever imagined. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved in the past year, opening up my thinking further than I’d anticipated which has facilitated huge a huge step on in both my personal and professional lives, and am now excited to move forwards to tackle the new development objectives. It’s been a fantastic voyage of discovery, which I know will continue to pay dividends long after the official coaching sessions have finished."
Head of Buying, Sainsbury’s Argos
"My coach, challenged me to tackle so many of my preconceptions – both personally and professionally. The impact the process has had on me, has been recognised and appreciated in all aspects of my work, how I lead and manage the team I work with, and the change to the output that I now create. I would not hesitate to recommend Notion to anyone committed to growing into the individual that they aspire to be."
Natalie Miles, Head of Technical Services, Biffa Group
“It has been great to have someone external to my organisation to coach me, both by offering a safe environment in which to test ideas and also by being away from day-to-day distractions. My coach has been instrumental in helping me to "hold up a mirror" to myself in order to see myself as others do. The sessions have been both challenging and very rewarding; the benefits of our work together have been rapidly visible.”
Matthew Arends, Principal & Actuary, Aon Hewitt

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!
What Our Clients Have Said...
"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."
Shirel Saranga, Resources Director, Halcrow
"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 and advice I have grown more confident in my role being able to look at different approaches then focusing ontaking action."
Maxine Bissell, Les Ambassadeurs Club
"Specifically, working with my coach has materially improved my ability to empower, develop and challenge my team, my time management and my ‘personal brand’ – in short, to become a better leader. The results have been evident both to myself, my team and colleagues. In particular, my relationship with my manager has dramatically improved which has enabled us to work much more effectively together to the benefit of the business.
My coach's flexible and objective approach, with the right balance of support and challenge, enabled me to see a clearer path both in solving leadership issues and achieving my personal development goals. I believe that the techniques and approaches practiced and developed with my coach (and the confidence gained) will enable me to continue to improve, even at the end of our coaching programme."

What Our Clients Have Said...
"As the demands from my role as a 'Senior Manager' within Academia become increasingly complex, taking the time out to reflect on more strategic ways of working was important to me. Working with a carefully selected Coach from Notion's team who was familiar with the Academic environment, focused me quickly and allowed me the space to develop and experiment with new approaches. I'd highly recommend Notion's Executive Coaching service."
Professor Simon Hodgson, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Teesside University"Coaching with Notion has enabled me to overcome self-beliefs that previously led me to anxiety and hesitation at work. It has opened my eyes to various methods and approaches to manage difficult situations, reflect on myself in a whole new way, and to chart a more positive course forward."

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
