MEGApack Contents

The Coaching Tools MEGApack includes ALL our paid Life and Career Coaching Tools. That's 67 Coaching Tools (7 Toolkits and the 6 Tools not in any toolkit) for just $295.

It includes the 7 Life and Career Toolkits:

  1. WELCOME Pack Toolkit
  2. CAREER Coaching Toolkit
  3. LIFE Coaching Toolkit
  4. SELF-DISCOVERY Toolkit
  5. Extraordinary GOAL-SETTING Toolkit
  6. BALANCE and SELF-CARE Toolkit
  7. Productivity and TIME MANAGEMENT Toolkit

Plus the 6 Career / Life coaching tools Not in any Toolkit:

  1. 21 1/2 Workshop Games Icebreakers & Exercises Ebook .pdf

  4. Love Your Weaknesses - Reframe Exercise
  5. Mentor Magic Coaching Exercise
  6. Spheres of Influence Coaching Exercise

Yes, whilst we don't recommend it - you are allowed to change the name.

Here is some idea of what’s involved:

  1. The 13 coaching exercises are all client-facing and Microsoft Word .docx format. But these are not branded "Renew You" - so no rename is necessary.
  2. The User Guides and Checklist are all branded "Renew You" and are .pdf format. But as these are not client facing (ie. only you use or see them) - no rename is necessary.
  3. The Marketing Materials are branded "Renew You" in .jpg format and these are (potential!) client facing. This is where you need to make the changes.

Renaming the "Renew You, Love Your Life" Marketing Materials:

If you want to change the name in the Quotes and Social Media Graphics – this is easy to do with graphics editing software like Photoshop or Paint. You’ll need to cover over "Renew You" and replace with your new name. The poster is in Microsoft Word and requires a change to the background image. See details below:

  • Poster – Although it is Microsoft Word .docx format, the text program name  "Renew You" is part of the image. If you wish to change the name/title, simply remove the background image from the Word document, copy the background colour of the sky, draw a square that colour over the top of the "Renew You" name, replace it with your new name, and then put the background image back in. We can also supply a .jpg of the background image file for you to change on request.
  • Quotes x 13 – These are .jpg format. It is easy to copy the solid background colour and then draw a square that colour over the top of the "Renew You" name, then replace it with your new name.
  • Social Media Promo Graphics x 5 – These are .jpg format. Draw a white square over the top of the "Renew You" name, then replace it with your new name.

The above is easy to do if you have a graphic editor and know how to use it. If not, a graphic designer should be able to do this for you quite easily.

We do sometimes update our tools and resources, including occasionally adding new tools to toolkits. We usually announce these updates in our newsletter.

The purpose of our coaching tools is to help your clients explore themselves - either as homework in their own time, in session or perhaps in a seminar with you.

They are a mix of familiar exercises eg. The Wheel of Life, SWOT and The Urgent/Important Matrix and innovated exercises like "Eat Your Elephant" or "Troll Travels".

Through the tools the client is given space to develop their own insights into themselves which they then discuss and delve deeper into with you. What new insights have they gained? What does that mean for them? What are they going to do about it?
