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.

ACTING COURSE FOR BEGINNERS: LAYING THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS   Have you taken a few acting workshops but still feel you are unsure about the Foundations of the craft of acting? Do you feel like there are gaps in your knowledge when it comes to acting technique in general? A good way to tell if you may be missing crucial skills is to pay attention to what happens when you are preparing for a role or for an audition. If you find yourself staring at the bits of dialogue and action on the script and not really knowing how to begin, then there’s a good chance you are missing key pieces of the puzzle.  Or… maybe you do know what to do but don’t really understand why you are doing it… Or…  maybe, you are unsure about why you want to act: you feel at a loss when someone asks you a simple question such as, why do you want to be an actor? THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR ACTING CRAFT & CAREER To be successful you should know how you need to do ‘acting’. And, if you have greater insight into why you might want to do it, you will be even more successful. After-all, you are intending to spend considerable time and resources on it. Attending classes such as this one for instance and shooting a showreel… You don’t have to have all the answers right now (not that you ever will!). But it is important to make a meaningful start into the ‘how’ and the ‘why’! This online acting course has been designed for exactly this purpose: The Acting Course for Beginners will get you started and onto the right on track. Beginners, you will benefit from laying the Foundations for later work to rest on. Actors who have trained previously but feel they are missing the base: this course will hopefully step in to re-frame, reconfigure and help you make sense of some things that you may already know. The first few weeks of training focus on crucial knowledge building and involve re-thinking the craft of acting. You will learn straight forward definitions that make sense and that are not couched in ‘artsy’ talk that makes you feel excluded. In the middle part of the course you will learn about AID and BEATTM, the acting method we teach. Throughout the course we cover integral career building skills to help you think about your own journey and assign practical exercises to help you open up to the possibility of actually becoming a professional in this business. In the final week, we focus on the next steps, paving the way for an exciting, meaningful career in Acting. Packed with knowledge, tools, insights and tips, you will walk away having a better idea about who you want to be as an artist and the practical steps you can take to get to the next stage. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * ALL LEVELS WELCOME: There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from setting the right Foundations on which to build your knowledge of Acting Techniques and Career. If you haven't started your acting training then this is the place we recommend you start from. Not only will you get important insights about how to approach acting craft, you will benefit from re-framing your career path in the profession. * EXPERIENCED ACTORS:  If you have acting experience but yet feel unsure about the fundamentals of acting craft, this course could be very useful for you. The classes will not only reframe for you some existing knowledge, but will further introduce you to the AID-METHOD and pave the way for creating plans for a Career in the profession.

Beginners photography workshop in Central London, helping you learn how to use your digital SLR camera and master interesting compositions in front of exciting subjects!

A photography workshop on how to use shutter speed creatively, including night photography and light trails. Workshop takes place in Central London.

“LIGHT MAKES PHOTOGRAPHY. EMBRACE LIGHT. ADMIRE IT. LOVE IT. BUT ABOVE ALL, KNOW LIGHT. KNOW IT FOR ALL YOU ARE WORTH, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE KEY TO PHOTOGRAPHY.” – GEORGE EASTMAN [https://www.quotemaster.org/qd77d34daa3f37ebc15b95adf3b4703b7]" -  PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PARENTS - SHOOTING WITH FLASH NEXT COURSE STARTS ON MONDAY 12TH FEB 2024 Scared of Flash? Never got good results from it? Not sure how it works with your camera? Thinking it’s bound to be complicated and just for studio work? This is the course for you! We show you how to work your flash and your camera – on and off camera! - to get great, natural looking results. In this course you'll discover how to use flash not just to supplement light in dim spaces, but to use it creatively, to help you create images you wouldn't be able to capture with just natural light.  KEY COURSE INFO: * Course type: Instructor-led * Course duration: 4 weeks * Course format: Online course with interactive live webinar classes, feedback on your learning and support group WHAT YOU LEARN: You will learn how to make your flash work with your camera and how to control it so that it gives you beautiful, natural looking light You will learn to work with the flash off camera - giving you the freedom to position your light wherever it will most suit your subject rather than relying on what you have with natural or indoor light You will learn to play with flash to capture a variety of creative outcomes and apply it to lots of shooting situations - from learning to fake pretty window light to freezing motion with Flash * understanding flash equipment * learning to shoot with on-camera flash * earning to shoot with off-camera flash * learning to bounce the light for natural looking results * using flash as a sole or supplementary light source * freezing movement with flash where the shutter speed wont allow it THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU IF : * You find yourself struggling with light especially in the darker autumn / winter months, and there never seems to be enough ISO or aperture to get you what you want * You can already use your camera in manual and want to add mastery of detachable flash to your skillset - so you can never worry about insufficient or poor light wherever you are, or whatever unknown space you go into * You want to be able to make flash images look natural rather than sporting that famous 'deer in the headlights look. A good flash image never 'looks' like a flash image * You want to learn how to capture creative images using a flash - such as freezing motion, creating dramatic shadows, or adding a splash of light to specific areas of the frame. * You want to add this versatile skill to your toolbox so you can adapt it to different shooting scenarios. ESPECIALLY if you're considering taking up photography professionally or semi professionally, this is an immensely useful skill to have.  NEXT SHOOTING WITH FLASH COURSE STARTS ON 12 FEB 2024  * 4 core course modules  * Support Facebook group * Weekly live webinar * Weekly practice assignment  * Feedback on your images WHY SHOOT WITH FLASH IN THE FIRST PLACE?  “DON’T USE FLASH – IT WILL WASH OUT YOUR CHILD” “FLASH WILL MAKE YOUR PHOTOS LOOK HORRIBLE” ‘YOU CAN’T CONTROL FLASH – NO CONTROL OVER WHAT YOUR PHOTOS WILL LOOK LIKE” You may have heard those statements, maybe even uttered them yourself. And to a degree – they can be true – but only because, if you don’t know how to control and work any tool, it’s likely to give you terrible outcomes – remember how much poorer your photos were when you first started with your camera on full auto? Here is how I see Flash, and what this course is about: * Flash lets me bring light where there would normally be not enough light available to take a well exposed photo – and let me tell you – in glorious British weather, that’s more often that I would like! * Flash lets me shape the light to suit my needs – I can make it moody or bright, I can even make it look like natural light ( yes really) * Flash lets me neutralise ugly light and make it look good ( anybody else cursed with ugly spotlight lights in their home? no? just me? ) * Flash lets me be in control, especially in unknown venues and locations, spaces where I won’t get a chance at that second shot. * Flash helps me fill in shadows when shooting in very bright light – the goal is not to stop using natural light, but to help create a balanced image where natual light alone can't cut it COURSE PREREQUISITES YOUR SKILLS: We recommend that you are comfortable in shooting in full manual mode. It's possible to use flash in priority modes of course, but you don't have full control of its strength and level. YOUR EQUIPMENT: You will need to have a detachable flash for your camera make. This could be the same brand as your camera or a compatible third party flash manufacturer.  You will also need a way of triggering your flash OFF camera - in some cases, you may be able to do this directly from camera or via an additional remote trigger / controller. Click here to see our Flash buying guide below [https://photographyforparents.co.uk/shooting-with-flash/#tve-jump-1887bb96361] SHOOTING WITH FLASH BOOK YOUR SPACE NOW: COURSE STARTS : 12TH FEB 2024 ( 4 WEEKS) COURSE COST : £179 ( PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE ) WHAT’S INCLUDED: * 4 weekly modules with step by step tutorials * weekly live class online class ( also recorded) - on Tuesday evenings * feedback and advice on your photos * private support group * PDF workbook  Join our next group to learn how to never have to deal with insufficient light and discover a whole new area of photography! INSIDE THE MODULES - AKA WHAT DO YOU LEARN? MODULE 1: GETTING STARTED WITH FLASH In this module we introduce you to the principles of making your flash work with your camera. We show you how the two work together in layering exposures, how you can control both the flash and natural light side and how to achieve predictable outcomes from your flash. This is the biggest learning curve because the way you work your camera with flash is very different to how you do this with just natural light and understanding the control side of things will let you get creative afterwards.  MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: At the end of the module you will have gained an understanding of how to work your flash ON your camera. With that, you will have learned how to balance your key light and your fill light, how to combine flash exposure with a natural light exposure, how to supplement or even replace light with flash light. You will also make first steps into bouncing the light to give it a more natural appearance.  MODULE 2: TAKING YOUR FLASH OFF CAMERA  In this module we teach you how to make your flash work when detached from your camera. We look at different techniques and methods or shooting off camera as well as any additional equipment you may need for this. We teach you how to use that off camera flash for a number of practical and creative examples MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: You will be able to use the flash off camera - whatever your preferred off camera methos. We will explore using off camera flash as the key light - creating low key and high key images, as fill light and as a supplementary light to provide additional dimension to the images.  MODULE 3: MAKING FLASH LOOK NATURAL  In this module we learn to recognise how you can adjust the very quality of your flash to create natural looking images. We learn how to bend - or bounce the light - on and off camera, to create the kind of images that noone would ever suspect of being taken with flash. We also introduce you to a number of light modifiers and show you what you can expect from them as well as what might work in the way you take the photos.  MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: Learn how to modify your flash to achieve soft or hard light look. Discover how to bounce your flash and where from and how the angle of those flash bounces will give your subject very different looks. Learn about light fall-off and how to apply this principle to achieve more or less contrast filled images when using flash/  MODULE 4:FLASH AND MOTION In this module we show you how to use flash when trying to freeze your subject - whether it is your child bouncing on the soufe in dim Novemeber light or an inanimate object making a splash. We also introduce you to a few way you can play with flash and your shutter speed to achieve fun and creative outcomes.   MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: You will learn how to freeze movement with flash - even on very slow shutter speeds or in very poor light. You will learn how shutter and flash work together and how you can achieve great creative outcomes such as high speed photography or freezing rain.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT COURSE STARTS ON 12 FEB 2024
