WORKING WITH PASSION AND TALENT
For professionals
More and more jobs, tasks and processes are being taken over by machines, computers and robots. We want to achieve everything faster and faster, we want more results but with fewer and fewer people and resources. In this paradoxical situation, how can we, as human beings, still stand our ground? How can we continue to make a difference?
The only way to answer this is by being allowed and able to work from our passion and talents. Making this possible is a shared responsibility. As individuals, we must commit ourselves to personal development and lifelong learning. As a society, we must ensure that we create the right context for people to grow from passion and talent.
From TaPasCity we guide both the individual and society to focus on developing their passion and talent - this is how you make your organisation or company not only future-proof but also TaPas-proof. By focusing on this, you can continue to make a difference as an individual and as an organisation.
TaPascity guides people in their search
We very often use the words "talent" and "passion", but where does the difference with competences really lie and how can you map that out? TaPasCity has developed its own method for this, which is fully scientifically based and which answers the following questions:
- Who am I as a person - which values and norms are important to me also as a professional?
- What are my talents and to what extent do they (still) give me energy?
- What pallet of Talents & Passion do I have? And how much of it do I actually deploy?
- Which skills support my talents?
- What conditions do I need to use my talents successfully?
- Do I feel that what I do as a professional matches who I want to be as a person?
- Is there a strong connection between me and the organisation I work for?
In this way, we map out a holistic picture for the individual, the team and the organisation.
Starting from the unique ability
From TaPasCity, we guide you to make yourself and your organisation future-proof and TaPas-proof in order to remain competitive. Our tailor-made guidance programmes are there for:
- You as an individual if you are at a crossroads in your career and want to make choices based on talent and passion. In this way, you will (re)connect with your own potential and your professional choices will better reflect who you really are.
- You as a team leader who wants to focus on the TaPas of each individual employee in order to optimally empower your team. That way, you will achieve maximum results with minimum energy loss.
- You as a supervisor/manager who is facing a challenging change process and wants to proactively map out the TaPas™ present and needed. In this way, you create maximum support and build in a guarantee of success.
- You as a management team who wants to make the true dynamics of your organisation visible in order to: proactively tackle the retention policy, keep employees interested and connected. That way, you not only keep your own organisation fresh and healthy but also stay alert to stay ahead of the competition.
- Your organisation as a concrete first step in setting up and implementing a distinctive Talent Development programme that crosses competences and behaviour - and really wants to give space to and deploy the Talent & Passion of employees.
Below, we gladly list our available psychometric tools and guidance programmes for pupils as young as 10 years old to students in higher education. These instruments are described in more detail on our "Tools" page.
Tapas for Professionals
Our flagship
Tapas for Professionals is the only science-based tool that independently measures talent and the energy for that talent. As a result, you not only know what you are good at, but also whether it gives you energy or not.
In addition to talent and energy, Tapas for Professionals also visualises stress mechanisms. This reveals the relationship between talent and functioning under stress. It gives a clear picture of your current position and possible next steps in your professional career. In addition to a substantive scientific foundation, the framework of the test is derived from a scientific methodology. This makes the test more than a scan of your self-image.
Numerous organisations have opted for this well-founded instrument and are gradually replacing the classic competency thinking with thinking and acting from the energising strengths of their employees.
From the T4-P, we can work with both individuals and teams. Based on the individual profiles, a team analysis can also be made. This creates a coherent framework that can be used to drive change in both individuals and teams.

Tapas for Organisations
Talent mapping of your organisation
Every organisation has talents with which it can stand out in the outside world. We are not talking about talented employees or the talents of employees within the organisation, but rather the strengths of the organisation itself. These may as well be energy-giving or energy-costing. It depends on how the organisation is shaped. Strengths are therefore important, both for the organisation and for the organisation's employees.
Yet in practice, it is often difficult to let these talents be leading. Where does one sense the organisation's talents? What do those talents mean for action in the organisation, now and in the future? How can one prevent the organisation from 'forgetting' its own talents due to daily concerns? Practice shows that many organisations have drifted away from their intrinsic motivation, their talents, and thus from their full potential. This makes it difficult for organisations to deal proactively with the complexity of the environment.

Tapas for Recruitment
A uniqueness for recruitment
In a recruitment process, focusing only on the pool of 'War fot talent' has proven to be insufficient. The ongoing pandemic has made it clearer than ever that the extent to which someone can work with energy is equally decisive and therefore distinctive. This therefore calls for a much more proactive approach in the recruitment process with all stakeholders involved. Tapas4Recruitment (T4R) was therefore developed as an adequate response to this need.
From a facilitated and structured methodological process, together with all stakeholders, the talents needed are considered and determined in order to be able to guarantee an optimal job fulfilment in addition to adding value to the organisation in the longer term.
From this facilitated process, a so-called 'Virtual Talent Profile' is created in an automated way, a benchmark, as it were, in which all stakeholders agree.
In the ultimate final phase of the recruitment process, one can thus establish in a very factual and objective manner whether the Tapas profile of the candidate matches the predetermined Virtual Profile. This makes the Tapas4Recruitment both an accelerating factor and a much stronger predictor for a correct recruitment.
