Above all, the development process was quick and uncomplicated for us. It only took 3 weeks from the idea to the print-ready (digital) card set. This was also due to the proactivity and pragmatism with which Tobi and his team approached the project, as well as the quick coordination in between.

We already had the questions in mind. Thanks to metaFox's preparation on a digital whiteboard, we were able to transfer the questions very quickly and supplement them with suitable images for the reflection cards.

"Stronger You" Coaching Cards

I use it right now in almost every consultation, one woman was really impressed how she picked the adequate cards that reflected her resources that she had forgotten during a stressful situation. I also used it in a Resilience Workshop with teachers from a secondary school in Bonn and they worked really well as inspiration for group work! Likewise, I give the set to my clients and let them pick the cards they like - also this simple intervention always creates new ideas and mostly, the revival of old resources!

Our facilitators are able to use the cards in conducting an activity aimed at crafting individual vision statements, rooted in powerful imagery, to catalyze a culture of inclusivity, mutual support, and trust. We have found that metaFox's coaching cards provide a practical and innovative approach to supporting transformational systems change in educational and organizational settings.

I used the “Stronger You” card set today in the ZERA course (Connection between Illness, Rehabilitation & Work) in the Strengths and Weaknesses subprogram. There was a great exchange. Assigning a strength to the other participants was also very lively and bonding. Balm for the soul – really great!

I use the deep pictures of metaFox to gather associations of my participants on a workshop topic. Using the images, I experience time and time again that participants share their thoughts much more concretely. Especially academics tend to hide their feelings behind fancy phrases; through working with images, we bring their thoughts to the ground and talk straight.

How to work coaching tools

▸ How can I use your cards?

There is a vast variety of ways to use coaching cards in your practice in 1-on-1 sessions as well as with groups.

A common process is what we'd like to call "Select-Reflect-Share":

  1. Spread the cards facing up.
  2. Ask a prompt question to your clients, e.g.:
    • Which card describes you best today?
    • Which card represents your last week?
    • How do you feel—in a picture?
    • Which card describes your future vision?
  3. Have client(s) reflect and select a card.
  4. Have client(s) share their thoughts and feelings (by speaking to the entire group, in couples, or even in writing).
