Since making the wise decision :) to include Appreciating Change’s Coaching Cubes in one of my corporate coaching sessions in early December, I have become a genuine believer in “Cube Power”. What a superbly “simple” way to power-charge coaching sessions and motivate clients. Valuable discussions invariably pull loose “what if” threads together, thus promoting clear, precise, long-lasting “client authored” results. WOW. Thank you Sarah!

Created by Professor Ilona Boniwell
These cards are designed by leading positive psychology practitioner Professor Ilona Boniwell who describes them like this
'An essential resource for any practitioner of positive psychology, the Strengths Cards can be used in any coaching or training setting, in one-to-one or in group work. With innovative exercises suggested these Strengths Cards always leave participants excited and eager to learn more. Each and every one of the cards contains an innovative photo and the name of the strength on the front side as well as the questions that can be used to identify this strength, its descriptions and suggestions to both activate it and develop it further on the back. With 50 strengths in the pack, they cover the full scope of the current scientific knowledge about strengths, without being tied in to any one of the available (competing!) strengths inventories.'
