Delivering First Class Executive Coaching

The Head of Fleet Maintenance at a leading logistics organisation explains how Notion’s executive coaching helped him to expertly navigate the challenges of stepping into the senior management team.

“It can be a daunting prospect!” This is how the Head of Fleet Maintenance at a leading logistics organisation described taking that next big career step. Explaining how his ascent into senior management coincided with the implementation of a brand new commercial enterprise and extremely stretching cost reduction targets, he acknowledges that there were times when he doubted his ability to step up to the challenge.

As an accredited Internal Coach himself, when he embarked on Notion’s Executive Coaching Programme he couldn’t help feeling a little ‘sceptical’. “I wasn’t sure that I would actually get much benefit from it - this was the kind of thing that I did with my team in one guise or another, but actually this wasn’t the same. By the end of the programme I had a completely different attitude.”

He attributes his change of heart to the quality of his Notion coach. “I found it extremely useful to have someone like my coach, from outside of the business, to help me work through new situations. Rather than going straight into problem solving mode, he really helped me to look at myself and identify what it was that I could do differently to achieve my goals.”
