Notion’s Leadership Mentoring & Executive Coaching Programme


Background about Our Coach Training


We pride ourselves in offering only the UK’s top Executive Coaches and Tutors working with us to train, supervise and develop new and qualified Executive Coaches as well as delivering top-class 1-2-1 and group Executive Coaching and Mentoring ourselves.


As a team we have trained over 110,000 senior managers and coached and mentored over 5,000 businesses.


We work across both the Public and Private sectors. Recent work within the Public sectors includes working in partnership with Birmingham City Council delivering 1-2-1 Executive Coaching with 70 senior managers (which received two mentions within their recent Inspection report when they were awarded a grade of ‘2 stars and improving’), NWDA to help them deliver large scale coaching programmes in both the not for profit and commercial sectors, as well as Coach Training for Invest Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland’s equivalent of Business Link).


We also develop leading edge resources to help coaches with their Continued Professional development (CPD) to become even better and to the benefit of their respective organisations. These resources are designed to be accessible and affordable for all coaches and can be delivered in a number of innovative ways.


As an organisation committed to coaching we are keen to support other organisations that are establishing their own internal coaching capability.


Our Executive Coach Training is designed to provide you with the very best Executive Coach Training available in the UK today. It will be delivered by individuals who are not only seasoned and passionate trainers, but by some of the countries most experienced Executive Coaches who can bring the subject to life to inspire the delegates. The end result for you will be qualified Executive Coaches (who not only understand the theory but also are commercially pragmatic), and a faster return on investment to your organisation.

Testimonials

"This is really a ‘can do’ course. Cathy directed the course and kept it on track, avoiding all digressions when they became unhelpful. She also had a very intuitive assessment of candidates which was very helpful." Douglas Brown, Manager, NHS Trust

 

"You demonstrated the art of coaching very well, and pushed us to do it ourselves. You coached us through the course incredibly effectively. This course (Cathy) gets you coaching from the first hour. There is no substitute for doing it, and this course does it! Learn through practice and a healthy dose of practical, usable theory. Do, feel, think and then do it better – that’s what Cathy’s course does." Giles Nightingale, Home Office Manager

 

"Many thanks for a fascinating introduction to coaching. I am still re-living it! I usually find workshops and training sessions one-dimensional for me, and frequently leave before they’ve finished. I was amazed how much I learned – and in unexpected ways!" Fiona McLaren, Consultant

 

"A thoroughly enjoyable course delivered by a totally excellent coach, with plenty of opportunities to observe and practice. Cathy was totally focused, not only when she was coaching herself, but all the way through. I felt as if she was 100% there with us throughout the course. I would highly recommend this to others." Bryony Ellis, Coach Manager

 

"Cathy is very skilled as a trainer. She packs a lot into the course, and at the end, everyone in the course had learnt a lot, both about themselves and about coaching. She was particularly excellent at coaching us at coaching, providing feedback and drawing out learning points." Joy MacKeith, Freelance Management Consultant



"I loved your professionalism and your skill; the fact that you brought the whole of yourself, including the fun aspect. I enjoyed watching you draw everyone out, thus affirming them and allowing them to develop their own skills and personal style." Petra Kerridge, counsellor in the public sector


"I loved your approach. I particularly loved the unassuming generosity with which you shared your expertise and coaxed and challenged me to enhance my skills." Tim Schuler, Independent Training and Development Facilitator


"You were amazing at holding the whole thing together. The structure of the training really worked. You demonstrated openness towards feedback." Chantal Steuble, UBS


"You demonstrated the effectiveness of skilful communication both in the delivery of the workshop and in your interventions and suggestions to us in practice pairs. You also responded to and held our queries and requests, and celebrated each person’s individuality." Tui Pankhania, Psychotherapist


"I like your style – relaxed, capable, observant. I particularly valued your feedback, which was sensitive, clear and to the point. You always seemed to pick up on points that needed our attention." Mick Hoffe, Trainer, Impact Consulting Group
