Picture Coaching Cards are for anyone that wants to find solutions, improve performance and get better results – theirs or their teams. These are also ideal for managers or for every day.
Project Oxygen, by Google, analysed thousands of people’s performance data such as appraisals and 1-2-1’s. Their conclusion was that the skill that managers are worst at is Coaching. But also, the skill that managers need to be best at is Coaching. These cards give immediate access to the skills and power of coaching to help you to improve the performance of your people and yourself.
Prompt yourself to think differently about a situation, challenge why you feel the way you do, or approach a problem from a new perspective.
Coach someone, even if you have never coached someone before.
Help someone to achieve things, from solve a problem, to identify their goals for life.
Who are the Picture Coaching Cards For?
People managers & leaders, beginner coaches at work, even qualified coaches, or for those that simply want to become the best version of themselves. These Coaching Cards provide an immediate and easy way to get direct results and forward momentum.
You do not have to be a qualified coach/trainer to use them.

How to Use these Picture Coaching Cards
These Coaching Cards are easy to use. Here are 10 steps:
Book a meeting with your coachee (that could be yourself) for 30-60 minutes.
At the start of your session explain to your coachee that this is a coaching session:
They should bear with you as you learn and get used to coaching with the cards.
You will invite them to give you feedback at the end.
Ask them to keep an open mind.
There might be some bumps and pauses as this is a new approach to personal development or coaching.
Start with the whole deck of +80 cards in front of you. Set your instructions cards to one side.
Grab one card and ask yourself or the coachee a question like, ‘How does this make you feel?’ or just show the card and say nothing to the coachee, and see what they say.
You might also ask; How does this relate to you? Or How does this resonate with you? Or What do you see in this card?
Finish the coaching session when the coachee feels that they have made progress on a particular situation/problem/challenge.

“Working with Darren has been a game-changer for me”
He has an incredible ability to help me recentre and find clarity, even in the midst of chaos. Through his open, thought-provoking questions, he doesn’t hand over answers but instead empowers me to critically challenge my own thinking. Every session with Darren feels like a journey, and I always walk away with new perspectives and actionable insights.

“I really enjoyed my 1-2-1 training with Andy. After finishing my apprenticeship at Greenyard I was transitioning into my new role as a junior account manager and didn’t feel like I had some of the skills and confidence to do my new job well.
