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

Sacred Heart Alchemy - Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey Come and experience sound healing with the powerful vibrations of the Reiki Drum and recalibrate your heart, mind, body, and soul, with the supportive resonance of the drum. Step out of the circle of time and into the circle of radical love – Rumi - where we join together in community and give ourselves permission to receive and nourish ourselves in sacred space! In this Sacred Heart Alchemy Cacao and Shamanic Reiki Drumming Sound Journey, I will be weaving together two of my favourite things, the heart-opening elixir of mama cacao and the primordial sound of the drum to bring us back into balance and harmony. This is a journey into the heart and together we will invite the loving medicine of mama cacao, to open our hearts and settle our minds, allowing us to tune into our hearts for guidance on what we need more of in this very moment.  We will then continue the journey deeper into our hearts whilst the sound of the drum takes us into a space of deep relaxation and recalibration. My intention for the monthly Cacao and Drumming is to tune into the season and respond to what is arising in the present moment.   Cacao and Shamanic Drumming Sound Journey Date: Saturday, 25 May 2024 Time: 14:00 - 16:30 Venue:  Santosa Wellness Centre, Edinburgh Exchange: £38.35 (+Booking Fee) There are only 10 spaces available for the ceremony, be quick to book your space! What is Cacao? Cacao is a heart-opening non-psychoactive plant medicine and is one of the many tools available that can help us tune into who we really are.   She supports us in softening our hearts so we can move from fear to love and connect with our inner wisdom.  Drinking Cacao in its purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves our intuition and inner guidance, which leaves you loved up (with yourself), empowered, and in your heart. We will be working with delicious Peruvian ceremonial grade Criolla Cacao, directly sourced from ancient Cacao gardens in the Rio Ene Region of Peru. Drinking Cacao is optional.  Please do speak to me about other options. IMPORTANT:  If you wish to drink Cacao, please read here. [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]   [https://www.wildpoweralchemy.love/whatiscacao]Whilst Cacao is generally safe for everyone, there are some contraindications, and it is important that you are informed. Shamanic Drumming: The rhythmical beating of a drum is one of the oldest practices of humankind and a powerful approach that promotes health and well-being.  When the body attunes to the supportive resonance of the drum, you begin to switch off and drift into deeper relaxation, assisting the body in releasing any deep-seated stress and tension and bringing the body back to its optimum vibration. Drumming has so many powerful benefits, including reducing anxiety, quietening our minds, helping us to relax and deepen our breath, helping to release old energy that has become blocked in our body and energy system, and overall, it can boost our immune system. IMPORTANT:   Drumming is safe and beneficial for most people; however, drumming is not suitable if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, have a pacemaker or have tinnitus. I look forward to sharing the magic of the drum with you! As part of growing our community, you are welcome to join me after the session for a cup of tea and cake in the coffee shop and connect. Who is Fionn: Fionn is a Shamanic Priestess with over 15 years of experience in energy work and more recently her training includes breathwork and tension/trauma release exercises (TRE).  Fionn is a certified Cacao Practitioner, Shamanic Practitioner and Reiki Teacher who has a deep passion for Cacao, Goddess Archetypes, and all things wild and free! Inspired by the power of the elements, the seasons, the moon and the sun, Fionn’s intention is to support deep personal transformation so we can reclaim our most aligned selves by slowing down and reconnecting to the natural world around us.

Reiki II welcomes us to a whole new depth and dimension to our practice, elevating the light within. This course is a comprehensive journey designed to deepen your connection to Reiki and provide you with an array of creative tools that will expand your energy channels and empower you to harness the profound healing energy of Reiki, whilst paving the way to practice professionally.

Why I teach a 2-day Course:  My original training in South Africa was over 12 weeks which covered Reiki 1 and 2 as well as acupressure and Qui Gong.  It was through in-depth training, that I formed a richer understanding of energy and how it works.  It gave me a deeper knowledge on the mind body connection as well as insight into myself and other people and situations in my life.  I also believe the more practical experience you gain with like-minded people, set you up to be more confident as you begin your professional practice. Reiki can be life-transforming if you commit seriously to using what you learn.  The more you connect with Reiki and the more skilled you become, the more amazed you will be at its powerful effects.   NEXT COURSE DATES IN EDINBURGH:   DATES:  1 AND 2 JUNE 2024 TIMES ON BOTH DAYS: 9AM - 5PM WITH AN HOUR'S BREAK FOR LUNCH COURSE INCLUDES: * 2 Full days of tuition * Comprehensive and informative manual * Reiki II certificate, after completion of case studies * Ongoing support and feedback on case studies submitted.
