You know that operational excellence, performance and productivity are key.

We understand that you are operating in an increasingly regulated and highly visible environment.

how coaching helps you get the most from your greatest asset

“Your people are your greatest asset” the saying goes. Like most assets, they need investment to be able to achieve their maximum potential – support, inspiration, encouragement and development. This investment will quickly repay itself in increased and improved staff and customer satisfaction, raised self confidence and esteem along with improved retention over (often short periods of) time.

Sometimes the coaching and mentoring activities you require are part of a larger leadership or management development programme. More often you will need them to be integral elements of leadership and management roles within your business to accelerate the development of innovation and skills with a powerful low cost solution.

Whether you seek to build coaching expertise in your leadership and management teams, a core of coaching specialists or one to one development for your executives and key staff – aspire’s highly experienced team can provide flexible, sustainable solutions that will help you unlock the potential in your people.

You will find improved performance, motivation and enthusiasm in not only the participants, but also those around them.

Coaching and mentoring may also be provided concurrent with other leadership and management programmes, embedding new behaviours, skills and enhanced performance.

Coach and mentor development programmes may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards.

why higher education is the key to competitive, efficient, high quality yet cost effective service solutions

You know that performance and productivity are key. You also recognise these go hand in hand with the ability to attract, develop and retain high quality staff with the skills, knowledge and attitudes you need in today’s hugely competitive entertainment environment.

The need for a Foundation Degree in Leadership and Management (Late Night Entertainment) was first identified whilst working with one of the largest operators of late night venue in Europe . Its aim was to raise standards, support the development of talent and aid succession planning in this rapidly expanding industry whilst improving perceptions of the sector.

The result is a higher education qualification accredited by Nottingham Trent University, that runs alongside your staff members’ own career progression paths, whilst delivering in depth knowledge of management theory and practice and relating these directly to the workplace.

aspire will partner your organisation to develop co-delivery with industry specialists, as well as the opportunity for seamless progression on to honours and even to masters and doctorate levels.
