Frequently Asked Questions

Below you’ll find information and resources to support your journey with Notion.

How much time will it take me to complete the programme?

We recommend that learners aim to spend 20-40 minutes per week working on the program. This time can be divided across a number of activities, such as completing the eLearning modules, carrying out other program activities, completing workplace Missions and reflecting on their performance in their Learning Log. This will allow a learner to complete the full STAR® Manager Practitioner program in 4-5 months.

Can I try the programme before I buy?

If you ‘Request a Demo’ you will be given access to a demo program, Exploring STAR® Manager, for 2 weeks. The demo program contains access to the first module and includes videos showing how many of the program’s interactive features work. The Notion team will be delighted to work with you to provide you with all of the information that you need in order to make a purchase decision.

I'm a Team Leader, not a manager. Is this programme suitable for me?

Absolutely! The STAR® program will provide you with great new tools to improve the engagement and motivation of your team members by using coaching-related behaviours. The ten modules of STAR® Coach are directly applicable to you, but there are also modules in STAR® Manager, such as Handling Challenging Conversations and Giving Great Feedback that will also be helpful in your role.

Do I have to complete all 4 phases of the programme to get the benefits?

Completing the entire program will undoubtedly give a learner a comprehensive set of practical skills to change their management behavior and to be able to support a change of behavior of others. Depending on their role and their development objectives, learners may also achieve transformative results from taking just the first set of 10 STAR® Coach modules. The program gives you complete flexibility and a number of options to choose the journey that your learners complete.

What is a Live Learning Station?

Every fortnight one of Notion’s expert Tutors hosts a 1-hour Q&A session that anyone on the STAR® program can attend. It is a great opportunity for learners to ask any questions that they have (be that about the program content or how to apply it) and hear others’ questions too. Learners can attend as many Live Learning Stations as they wish over the duration of their program.

What is a Practitioner Session?

Learners who are completing a ‘Practitioner’ version of the STAR® program will have at least one Practitioner Session included in their program. A Practitioner Session is a 90-minute, interactive zoom video conference with up to 3 other learners and supervised by an expert Notion Tutor. These sessions provide the opportunity for learners to discuss, share insights and then practise some of the tools that they have learned by coaching the other participants and receiving feedback from their Notion Tutor.
