Introducing Our Core Team

Stalkie About

Paul 'Stalkie' Stalker - The Happiness Engineer

Understanding what it takes to overcome fear and self-doubt has been at the root of Paul ‘Stalkie’ Stalker’s personal transformation from school flunk, wayward youth, failed businessman and dying man, to healthy, wealthy entrepreneur, motivational speaker, business coach to FTSE 100 companies and personal mentor to corporate leaders, high performance sportspeople, disengaged children and life-serving prisoners.

Dubbed ‘The Happiness Engineer’ by a Channel 4 documentary, the many thousands who have witnessed Stalkie in action, virtually or in the flesh, are unlikely to forget the high energy, no-nonsense, humorous manner in which he shares his RAISE mindset, health and wellbeing principles to transform fear into power, barriers into benefits, and adversity into triumph.

His RAISE principles and methodology have been distilled through studying and working alongside an array of the world’s pre-eminent business leaders, executive educators, performance coaches, positive psychologists and critical thinkers for the last 30 years.

Dawn Stalker - The Boss

As MD (and Stalkie’s better half), Dawn is the organisational and strategic heartbeat of the RAISE extended family. She is also a key interface with our clients.

With a 20-year, C-suite pedigree in magazine publishing, marketing and media (and Stalkie management), Dawn provides coaching, guidance and leadership to senior managers in start-up, scale-up and stable organisations across multi-industries including retail and technology, professional and financial services, marcom and creative, marine and public sector.

Dawn has a specialisation in talent management, job analysis and workforce planning, recruiting, performance management, employee development and engagement and internal projects regarding quality, marketing, and process improvement.

Chris Humphreys – The Chief Pragmatist

Having spent 20 years as a sales director/publisher and 18 years earning his coaching stripes, Chris is a renowned personal and business communications coach.

He is co-originator of the RAISE approach to personal and business growth, development and practical positive psychology, as well as the ‘Going the Extra Mile’ operating model for engaging workforces to grow sustainable profit. In partnership with Stalkie, he has authored three books in these fields, devising and writing all RAISE coaching programmes.

His main coaching specialisms are engagement, culture and cultural turnaround, people development, 1-to-1 coaching, internal and external communication and customer relations.

An engaging facilitator and mediator across all environments, Chris is also a qualified counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for private clients.

Outside work, he relishes running one of the largest community choirs in the country, hosting regular choral fundraising concerts and events.
