How many times do we jump in and advise young people how to solve a problem or what is successful living or how to lead self well? The intention is to be helpful but, in that moment, we may unintentionally take away their voice.
When you apply a coaching approach to conversations the coach assumes that every young person is the EXPERT in their own life even when they say they are not.
Assisting them can be a challenge, especially when decisions need to be made and action needs to be taken. That is why coaching cards can be a powerful tool to help youth professionals facilitate deeper conversations quickly and with ease.
Coaching cards are a very powerful projective tool because they work at a subconscious level and build self-awareness and access an individual’s creativity, imagination, and problem solving that might otherwise be unknown to them.

“I have been using the POWER coaching cards with my clients. The cards are both subtle and powerful as well as provoking in a positive way. Wow – the results are fascinating and revealing. The process and its employment has been truly rewarding. I have seen clients excited, rewarded, connected, confronted, exposed and a little scared. So much to explore and examine.”
