Challenge

 

Recognizing the value of nurturing talent from within, PepsiCo embarked on an ambitious journey to provide accelerated career and development opportunities for its workforce.

 

The company established a comprehensive and longitudinal Talent Academy to identify and cultivate emerging leaders across the APAC region. To support this initiative, PepsiCo sought a trusted partner to deliver executive coaching services, to empower these high-potential leaders with targeted leadership capabilities and enabling their career progression.

​

Solution

 

FLI rose to the challenge, assembling a team of highly experienced coaches from its APAC network to cater to the unique needs of these emerging leaders. Thoughtfully matched with participants, the coaches provided monthly guidance, constructive feedback, and invaluable support as each leader worked through their individualized development plan.

​

Seamlessly integrating with the Talent Academy's participant journey, FLI's coaching sessions fostered an environment of continuous learning and growth. Line managers were actively involved in the process, ensuring sustainable progress and supporting the leaders' development even after the coaching sessions concluded.
