Organizational Development Programs
Problem
Turning Point is a global leader development program that solves the problems of managing expatriates.
Common problems faced by Japanese expatriates posted overseas
Intercultural Communication
With a diverse range of values, even giving instructions at work requires careful consideration
If communication does not change due to cultural differences, discrepancies will occur.
Expanding the scope of management
When I was transferred to my new post, the scope of my management suddenly expanded, and I was left with a lot of inexperienced territory.
There is an increasing need to manage members with expertise that you have no experience in.
Demonstrating leadership
I don't know how to take leadership roles in a multicultural environment.
I feel overwhelmed by changes in the size of the organization I lead, my role, and its diversity.

Turning Point
Features and differences from other programs
Specialized programs for expatriates
This is the quickest program for expatriates to perform at their best, derived from the developer's own experience living abroad and the behavior of expatriates who have achieved results at over 100 client companies.
A community of expats from around the world
This program allows participants to help each other grow and develop through their overseas experiences, which can easily become personal, and they are able to serve as coaches and mentors even after the program has ended.
Learning by doing, not just by input
The results of the program are measured by the changes in the people (team members) who are being coached. Because output is a given, the classes are very exciting.
Providing tools for goal management
Coaching is carried out to help team members achieve their goals. We provide tools that make it easy to manage goal progress and keep a record of conversations.
5-month speed learning
The period is set so that participants can concentrate and see results. The participants are from various countries, but the attendance rate is 95%. The real start is after the program ends.

CASE
Cultivating a mindset in each individual to shape the branch's future will strengthen the organization.
We want our young employees to demonstrate leadership, share ideas, and increase the number of customers on the San Francisco-Japan route. To achieve this, we will work together to develop services. Our goal was to foster in them the mindset to create the future of the branch.
Turning Point classes provide opportunities for input and practice of skills, so I was able to get an idea of what it would be like in the workplace before I actually applied myself. There were participants from other regions of the United States and Southeast Asia in the class, so the experiences of the other participants were useful to me.
Although the rate at which each member achieved their goals varied, I believe I was able to contribute to them having a sense of purpose and a sense of challenge. By practicing coaching, I was able to see many new sides of the members.

Participants' comments
This was a very useful opportunity for me as I have never had the opportunity before to learn business skills that can be applied not only in cross-cultural environments but in any environment.
I was able to learn a lot through the lectures and discussions, each with a different theme.
It was extremely helpful to receive feedback from fellow members at key points and have the opportunity to look at myself objectively.
I was able to learn the basic concepts of coaching comprehensively and also practice my skills in the classroom and at work.
Background of program development
Members who have been involved in organizational development for Japanese companies in the United States, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe came together to extract the behavioral characteristics of successful expatriates in each country and turn them into a program.
How can you contribute to a foreign country in a limited time of only a few years? It is important to clarify your role, that is, to increase local productivity and take the organization to the next phase, with the understanding that you will be gone in a few years.
Abilities are developed through difficult situations at work. Turning Point is designed to allow both subordinates and superiors to simultaneously achieve practical goals and develop their abilities, with local members achieving stretch goals (=developing work execution capabilities) and expatriates coaching local members to help them achieve challenging goals (=developing training capabilities).
Aspire Global will act as your coach and support you from all over the world to help you have the ideal return home experience for your expatriate.
Program Details
Program details
This is a program that transforms the necessary input for expatriates from "understanding" to "being able to do it" through repeated practice and assessment.
Cross-Cultural
Management
We will highlight the differences between countries from the perspective of business and values. Based on those differences, you will learn through input and practice how to manage communication in order to become a leader who can lead an organization.
Coaching Management
Coaching that allows you to quickly grasp the communication style of others and draw out their independent opinions by adopting an appropriate approach.
In recent years, coaching skills have been said to be essential in management, and participants will learn and practice these skills while also answering concerns unique to expatriates, such as how to demonstrate them in a different culture.
assessment
You can hear from field members about your own management skills and communication style and identify your strengths and weaknesses in management.
By conducting regular assessments throughout the program, we are able to grasp growth and challenges in real time, ensuring rapid growth and the establishment of skills.
Real-life feedback through practice
In order to implement cross-cultural coaching management skills in the field with high quality, practice is essential.
At Turning Point, we don't just provide input; we actually coach our members during the program, building a program structure that connects "understanding" to "being able to do it."
A community that shares the same concerns
Many expatriates are in a rapidly changing environment and do not have anyone they can consult with, which can make them feel lonely. Therefore, at Turning Point, we invite members who have participated in our program to Slack to form a community for expatriates.
Within the community, you will make friends you can consult with and share know-how, building a foundation for achieving results as an expatriate.
