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.    The purpose of this training to improve your performance at the same time of improving other abilities and create a cultured and productive working atmosphere. The core objective of the course is to enable you to set and achieve organisational, departmental and personal goals, by communicating clearly with their teams, managing time more effectively and prioritising work so that achieving an organisational strategy is more of a fluid approach.   Aims and Objectives   The sessions focus on the theoretical aspects of empowering people in an organisation, by increasing the awareness of current competencies and abilities. The programme will meet all the objectives outlined below: Gain a greater understanding of organisational activities How the TAP-C™ Model can be used to develop a person and a team Establish how to know when to be a coach, mentor and councillor The behaviour’s of being a confident coach How to help a person recognise their strengths and developmental areas How to create and develop an empowered structured organisation
