As part of the consultancy and design fee Notion will work with you to create a set of internal processes and appropriate ‘paperwork’ to allow you to manage your internal coaching pool and be able to track the overall ROI it generates. We then embed these processes into the training workshops as the standard operating procedures from day one.


We give you the ability to upgrade to a postgraduate level academic qualification: ILM7 Certificate in Executive Coaching & Mentoring

The programme is designed so that any participant, should they wish, can upgrade to Notion’s ILM7 programme within 2 years of completion of the AIC, and count the full AIC guided learning hours towards their ILM7 postgraduate level qualification.


We provide Operational Coaching™ Skills that drive performance and deliver commercial results

Leaders and managers on the programme will also be taught the STAR® Model and shown how they can adapt their behaviour so that coaching-related behaviours can become incorporated into their everyday management style.
