step teachers

A short history of our North London Branch 2000 to present: Step Teachers are proud to have started out from 'The Shed' at the back of the garden of Mr & Mrs Georgiou's (Marios' parent) house in Southgate, North London. It didn’t take long for Marios, Jim and the team (which included his brother George, sister Angela, best friend from school Andrew, and Jim's brother-in-law Ben (our current Managing Director, Compliance Manager, Sales Director and Finance Director) to outgrow The Shed and move to Ashfield Parade in Southgate Circus, opposite the tube station. Barely 16 months later and the Step family were on the move once more; this time crossing the busy High Road to the rather grange building of The Grange. In April 2007, we went north across Southgate Circus and made our home in South Point House, above Southgate's once iconic Wimpy restaurant. Sadly it's now Paddy Power. After a decade, our tour of Southgate took us to Solar House, directly opposite St Andrew's C of E Primary School.

Have you heard the one about the Finance Director who said, ‘What if we spend money training our people, and then they leave?’. To which the CEO replies, ‘What if we don’t train our people and then they stay?’. Admittedly, it won’t get me a headline spot on Live at the Apollo, but it does point out something very important. Simply this, that ongoing training is very important. Even now. Especially now. An organisation should have learning and development written into its core values. The landscape of work is changing and people need to have skills that will help them navigate that tricky landscape. Time and again, growth and development opportunities are cited as chief motivators at work. This means not only formal training, but on the job development. Imagine a leader who has the courage to support a colleague to undertake a new project, something they’ve never done before and the success of which is unclear. Imagine a colleague who grasps that opportunity to innovate, knowing that there’s a steep learning curve ahead, but that their line manager has their back. Imagine this is your organisation and that both of those valuable people have taken their lead from you. It does take a leap of faith to invest in learning and development, especially of those soft skills. The word ‘soft’ doesn’t help, though, does it, and probably leaves that Finance Director, well-versed in Excel and complex accounting software (very ‘hard’), palpitating at the cost. Author Heather McGowan has relabelled the ‘soft’ skills as ‘uniquely human’ skills. That’s a rather splendid phrase. Unique and Human.
