FAQ: Learning & Coaching card decks

Learning & Coaching decks are structured sets of cards designed to facilitate learning, skill development, and personal or professional growth. They provide focused, bite-sized lessons, insights, and exercises that can help users reflect on their goals, challenge their thinking, and build new habits. These decks often cover topics like leadership, productivity, mindset, or specific skills and are used to guide reflection, learning, and action. A key characteristic is their interactive format, allowing users to engage with content incrementally while applying new ideas immediately.

Learning & Coaching decks are used by professionals, educators, coaches, and individuals seeking personal development or guidance in their careers or personal lives. They are often used to supplement coaching programs, self-study, or team-building sessions. Accessing these decks on your phone makes them more dynamic and practical. Users can engage with learning and coaching prompts in real-time, during breaks, or while on the go. The digital format enhances flexibility, allowing learners to absorb new information in short, manageable segments rather than committing to long periods of study.

These decks are used because they break down complex topics into actionable steps, making learning and coaching more accessible and digestible. They help users implement knowledge and strategies immediately in their daily lives. As a mobile app, Learning & Coaching decks become even more valuable because they provide continuous access to learning materials, reminders, and exercises. This allows users to incorporate learning into their daily routines, ensuring consistent progress. The app’s features like notifications, progress tracking, and integration with other resources increase the value by reinforcing learning through regular engagement.

Learning & Coaching decks are used by drawing cards that introduce new concepts, pose reflective questions, or suggest actions to help users internalize lessons. Being on your phone makes this process more accessible and adaptable to your daily schedule. You can engage with the deck in small moments throughout the day, like during a commute or break, rather than setting aside large chunks of time. The digital format integrates with note-taking, reminders, or sharing insights with a coach or peer, enhancing both the learning experience and accountability.

Coaching: Introduction to the GROW Model

FIRST STEPS IN USING THE GROW MODEL TO COACH YOURSELF OR OTHERS

SINGLE DECK

Introduction to the GROW Coaching Model
Whether you are already a coach, or you may wish to develop coaching skill, or you simply wish to experience some coaching on your own; this deck is the resource for you!

The GROW Model is one of the most widely taught coaching frameworks and is used by profesisonal coaches worldwide.

Divided into four main sections, these cards help you explore any challenge, opportunity, problem in a way that loosens up your existing thinking patterns and allows your own wisdom and insight to emerge. It's like one of those really great conversations you have with a friend who doesn't tell you what you 'should' do, but you end up feeling really clear.

The four sections are:
Goal - it may sound odd, but many people who come to coaching don't know what they want; but can often identify what they don't want anymore. That's a good start, but the green Goal cards are designed to help get crystal clear on what the outcome actually is. Top tip here: quality time spent in this section is always worthwhile, don't be tempted to skimp!

Reality - this amber section is all about what is stopping them from having achieved the goal already; what gets in the way, what have they tried that didn't work etc. Top tip - sometimes, new coaches are so keen to help clients solve their problem, that they don't spend enough time in this section because they are keen to get to solutions: spoiler alert...if solutions would automatically do it, they'd have done it by now!

Options - the blue section is all about generating potential solutions, even ones that have been rulled out or that you might not have considered yet. It's useful in this section to include any ideas that might sound 'silly' or way out; you can always rule them out later.

Will & Way Forward - the final pink section is about bringing all of it together, making some choices from a place of having gone through the process and to focus on an action or a path to go forward. As they say, even a well-thought-through goal with no action will remain simply a nice dream. So this is the time to commit.

There is also an optional 'coach recap' card for each section. If you are learning coaching, these can be a great way to check-in with your client if you have asked enough questions in that section, or if there's 'more to come'.

The GROW model was never intended to be a sequential model - it is great to recognise that you need to return to a different section to refine the goal further, for example, or to generate additional options. It is a flexible set of questions to surface clarity and resourcefulness, so use it as is helpful.

Each card has a proprietary structure designed to cement your learning: a reason behind askng the question and a reminder or tip that supports it. The physical cards were designed almost 15 years ago to make it easier for new coaches to become more skilled and confident while they practice, so we know they work well. The bonus is that, the more you use the cards; the more intuitively you can remember the questions and the more natural coaching becomes.

And if you have found these cards useful, we have additional decks available to add further to your toolkit: the Intermediate and Advanced GROW decks follow on from this deck, with increasingly powerful questions as you become confident in your own coaching skills. And there are other decks available for Developing Emotional Intelligence, Building Personal Resilience, carrying out Successful Appraisals, working with Values and also Strengths.

THE CHILD PROPHET LOVING KINDNESSES ICONIC DECK

IS YOUR INNER CHILD TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

SINGLE DECK

Welcome to this very special intuitive deck of LOVINGKINDNESSES — companion to the award-winning illustrated book, THE CHILD PROPHET — and to the experiences and truths, this tool reveals.

The iconic symbols and energies from spirit and science come through love and serve listening to Source and your intuition. They are a holistic means with which to illuminate your inner voice. Each symbol is rooted in time and space, so each has a powerful vibration familiar to your spiritual essence, and each is easy to wield.

While this deck contains many symbols, the title word LOVINGKINDNESSES is also rich meaning: affection, mercy, reverence, grace, and behavior that expresses love. In Buddhism, it signifies unconditional benevolence to all beings.

LOVINGKINDNESSES has 16 letters. The number 16 symbolizes introspection, wholeness, and completion; it is double purity, kindness, and luck. The esoteric meaning of 16 is that new knowledge is acquired, and there will be opportunities to use it. Sixteen is also the symbol of love and loving in the Bible, and it is the “duality of true love.” In numerology, 1+6=7 and seven convey the responsibility to listen to your inner voice.

There are 67 symbol cards in the deck. 67 is a magical number meaning that your angels are near and ready to help you realize your higher purpose in this earthly life experience.

About the LOVINGKINDNESSES cards and how to use them:

Your intuition is the key to using this deck. First, have a clear intention. Shuffle. Then draw and lay out the cards and interpret them and the message each offers. The symbol on each card is ancient and full of energy and meaning that transcends. Each is innate and speaks on a deeper level with the soul. Each came from Source through meditation and journeying. And messages from Sources come with each symbol to help translate them.

There are four faces on each card:
1) in gold - the symbol, with the name of the card and a few keywords
2) in rose - a deeper derivation of the symbol, a direct message from the inner child – Source
3) in silver - the divination
4/ in blue - related actions you can take
