Coaching cards

Coaching cards provide visual or verbal prompts. In metacards they are not merely shown on screen: they can be selected together, arranged and connected to the evolving session workspace.

Work directly with metacards: Use provided decks or upload existing decks of your own in the same workspace. Card artwork is not created in metacards; the product supports selection, canvas work and session continuity.

Professional context

Coaching cards are a broad category

Coaching cards may contain questions, words, symbols, images, prompts or structured tasks. Facilitation depends on the type of card, the topic and the professional setting.

Metaphorical-associative cards are a distinct form: with open image cards, the person viewing the image expresses their own meaning rather than receiving a prescribed interpretation.

How to use cards in metacards

  1. Choose a suitable deckWork with a provided deck or an existing card deck of your own.
  2. Select cardsBring one or more cards onto the canvas as a question, prompt, comparison or conversation opener.
  3. Develop meaningArrange cards and connect them with text, shapes, lines or drawings.
  4. Keep the result connectedRetain the workspace with the session and return to it later with topics and notes.

What metacards contributes

Decks in the workspace

Provided decks and existing card sets of your own are available for visual work.

More than screen sharing

Cards can be moved, grouped, rotated and combined with other canvas elements.

Continue instead of capture

Selection and arrangement remain editable in the session context.

Within the wider coaching process

Cards can support openings, exploration, decisions or closing reflection. metacards neither prescribes a sequence nor interprets cards automatically; the practitioner facilitates the process.

The visual workspace is not an isolated method board: workspaces can remain connected to client, topics and session and be revisited later alongside separate session notes.

Keep card type and working method distinct

Question and prompt cards are facilitated differently from open image cards. The separate reference on metaphorical-associative card work explains that open, non-diagnostic approach.
