Organisations rely on the effectiveness of their people to create and build a successful business. Now more than ever individuals need to use their personal resources to maximise their efficiency and effectiveness.
Our expertise lies in helping people at all levels to identify their personal strengths and areas of development, to enhance their skills and maximise their impact.
Our process
The Stairway framework for developing effectiveness involves increasing self awareness, helping individuals set SMART goals and outcomes for improving their effectiveness, choosing approaches to reach these goals, taking action and reviewing outcomes.
We use a blended learning approach to help individuals and teams enhance their performance. We use 360 degree feedback and a range of diagnostic tools such as MBTI, SDI, Prism, EQ-I, Thomas PSS, Insights and FIRO-B to help individuals in this process.

Executive Coaching
At The Stairway we have wide experience of providing Executive Coaching to a wide range of individuals in the public, private and third sector.
Executive coaching is a personal opportunity for directors, senior and middle managers to discuss their development issues on a one-to-one basis together with an experienced, professional coach.
Conducted in confidence at a time and place to suit the recipient, executive coaching sessions follow the manager's agenda.
Normally focused around issues of leadership and often linked to 360 degree and psychometric feedback, executive coaching takes place over an agreed period. During this time we help the manager set their own development goals and provide impartial advice and feedback in achieving them.
Our coaches hold Certificates and Diplomas in Coaching Practice. We also run bespoke coaching workshops to increase the competence and confidence of managers in coaching other people at work. Please see Coaching to Improve Performance.The executive coaching we provide is often linked to the Leadership Development Programmes that we run. Please see Leadership Programmes.
