Our client

Kappa is an Italian sportswear brand. In France, Julien recently took over the role of Country Manager, with major responsibilities at stake.

Creating and bringing to life a balanced roadmap

The client's instinct was to turn to coaching to guide and support him as he stepped into the role, clarify his roadmap, and help him kick off the first changes he wanted to make for the France organisation. His business objectives needed to be balanced with his own priorities in order to stay on course.

The BOOST solution

BOOST's Executive Coaching programme ran over 8 sessions across 8 months. The sessions were complemented by exercises to carry out between each meeting, notably initiating discussions with his teams (including HR) to help him put his team vision in place.

Addressing specific needs

Julien needed a sparring partner to help him see things differently. Our coach pushed back on him and challenged him on his priorities.
With sessions ideally spaced about a month apart, he was able to gain perspective between each one and apply the advice given without it encroaching on his schedule.

Time for results!

Clear priorities, a well-defined business and HR roadmap planned over 24 months. But above all, a winning mindset — a manager who trusts his ability to master future challenges.
