working hand in hand with the fire service
We recognise that in the fire service you are faced with the need for effective leadership and management. You also aim to provide the strategy, direction and a set of values that guide the development of your organisation and the service you deliver.
aspire understand that your interests lie not only in effective, efficient and economical fire management and prevention, but also in developing and sustaining a number of productive relationships and partnerships that meet the needs and requirements of your diverse stakeholders.
We will partner you to develop effective leadership and management which enables you to create, communicate and implement strategies that reflect current and future challenges.
Programmes may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards. In order to provide quality, choice and flexibility, we work with the UK’s two main national and international providers of leadership, management, coaching and mentoring qualifications along with a number of higher education institutions.
how high impact development days can give you a taste of the power of an aspire people development programme
These bespoke events or workshops are intensive, engaging and highly focussed. They provide cutting edge knowledge, practical tools and techniques for immediate impact in the fire service.
Whilst we look forward to discussing your specific needs, here is a selection of workshops relevant to the fire service:
- managing diverse teams
- leadership
- community cohesion
- stakeholder and partnership working
- performance management
- appraisals
- communicating effectively using nlp
- managing change
- personal effectiveness
- coaching and mentoring
- positive psychology and emotional intelligence
Workshops may be stand alone or grouped to produce a structured development programme with or without accreditation. We can deliver you a bespoke high impact development programme unique to your organisation through aspire's ‘Build Your Own Programme’ option.
how innovative leaders can give the fire service the high performance edge
You need leaders who can identify and seize opportunities to build the self-driven yet accountable culture envisioned by the modernisation agenda. People who can respond to these challenges and deliver energetic yet focussed, value driven leadership sought by your diverse communities and stakeholders.
We have extensive experience to meet the development needs of leaders at all levels and functions – working with leaders from aspiring crew and watch commanders to members of the senior board; from lone workers to those with wider teams.
All aspire’s programmes promote high impact leadership, enabling your leaders to drive change and efficiencies; to deliver high performance and excellence. We achieve this through giving you practical tools, techniques and influencing behaviours that will help you meet the requirements of the best value agenda.
Your leadership development needs can be satisfied through a partnership approach with aspire to design uniquely tailored programmes.

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.
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 service.
Whether you seek to build a core of coaching specialists, or need one to one development for your senior managers and key staff, aspire can provide flexible, sustainable solutions that will unlock the potential in your organisation.
Your requirement for coaching and mentoring activities at all levels can be satisfied by our highly experienced team. You will find improved performance, motivation and enthusiasm not only in 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.

Skill levels, attitudes and behaviours are all critical elements of today’s leaders. The aspire team is accredited and registered to deliver and interpret a range of psychometric and similar instruments.
