Aspire Consulting and Training Ltd is indisputably at the forefront of Transformative Coachingworldwide. We have a commitment to prepare individuals as coaches to achieve sustainable change for the people around them, so that they are being developed and supporting many types of growth. Achieved through a process of heightening awareness and deepening learning, this differs from other coaching methodologies that employ a tactical or remedial approach more useful in trouble-shooting and problem solving. As people pursue coach training, they want a program with high standard, proven methodology and worldwide recognition. The TAP-C™ Model is a globally delivered program that enhances professional coaching industry standards. Our certification training program offers a fresh, leading edge approach to enable authentic and deliberate change. We offer the ultimate solution to maximise human capital. Businesses are expecting their managers to devote an ever-increasing portion of their time to coach others and this is a trend that will only continue to expand. The challenges have never been greater for achieving results through people, and coaching will remain a vital leadership skill for the decades to come. A proven strategy for creating sustained growth, coaching enables superior performance of individuals, teams, and whole organisations. The TAP-C™ Model is not just a new methodology or trend; it is more of a tool that drives a positive change. It helps people gain clarifications through meaningful conversations. It promotes learning by stimulating people to think through about their situation and urges them to take initiatives. Coaching is all about making people realise what needs to be modified and offer them appropriate support to bring about a change. "Coaching is about influencing individuals to make conscious, empowered decisions to become leaders in their own lives. It is a process that occurs in a special conversation that enables learning and development and thus improves performance. It is a way of working with people that leaves them more competent and more fulfilled so that they are more able to contribute and find meaning in what they are doing." Jay Acharya The TAP-C™ Model incorporates a blend of coaching, mentoring and counselling, that, although considered different, share some key characteristics and skills to always support positive outcomes. Coaching involves the belief that the individual has the answers to their own problems within, and need the focus to unlock their own potential. Mentoring is like coaching, with a general agreement that a mentor can partner in some way to help expedite any decision making. Counselling is closer to a therapeutic intervention. Focusing on past situations and identify ways to overcome barriers, that may be internal or external. Our TAP-C™ Model therefore truly incorporates what we know to be an Influencing and Empowered approach to Coaching in the following way: We will explore the supporting principles of a coach and the guiding principles of a mentor, by using practical methods to help you become more effective and confident.

Decision Making and Problem Solving (In-Person) We may live in an era of fast technology and increasing reliance upon automation, but our human abilities to think critically, make careful decisions, and solve nuanced problems are more important than ever. Our personal lives depend on those things, and so do the lives of our organizations. Since business is now conducted at remarkable speeds, we put our organizations at great risk daily when we have weak competencies with decision-making and problem-solving. Decisions and solutions that are executed impulsively and without structured approaches can create more problems or make existing ones worse! This course aims to help participants improve their skills so they can execute well and add value to the workplace. Learners will experience multiple decision-making and problem-solving models, tools, and techniques meant for the real world. They will learn how to align their growing toolboxes with the right situational contexts so that they can transfer that skill to the workplace. They will also discover how indecision, cognitive bias, and default thought processes can create obstacles to effective decision-making and problem-solving. What you will Learn Recognize the importance of making a sound decision in a timely manner Infer types of cognitive biases and obstacles that impact decision-making Separate facts, requirements, ideas, and perceptions when making a decision or solving problems Apply structured decision-making and problem-solving approaches Conduct cause and effect and Force Field analyses Evaluate alternative solution methods using various techniques Analyze real world situations to determine the best aligned decision-making and problem-solving models, tools, and techniques Implement decision-making and problem-solving models, tools, and techniques Getting Started Foundation Concepts Contextualizing decisiveness and problem-solving Discriminating between decisiveness and problem-solving Understanding Decision-Making Decision-making challenges and impacts Key drivers of good decision-making Thought processes and obstacles Knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) Decision-Making Models and Supporting Tools Decision-making models, tools, and guidelines Tools to evaluate alternatives Translating requirements into action Problem-Solving Defining the problem Problem-solving models Cause and effect analysis Quick hit vs. innovative problem-solving Summary and Next Steps Course summary Personal action plan
