Product Description
Research has identified four specific psychological characteristics—optimism, hope, resilience, and confidence—that strengthen our ability to cope effectively with challenges, draw on past successes to guide our thinking, and look constructively to the future.
The HERO model encompasses these four characteristics and has been defined as constituting psychological capital: a positive psychological state of functioning, characterized by:
Hope : persevering in the pursuit of one's goals and, if necessary, adjusting the path to achieve them.
Personal effectiveness ( Efficacy ): having the confidence to take on challenges and put in the effort required to succeed.
Resilience : Overcoming problems and adversity, bouncing back and even going beyond to succeed.
Optimism : having a positive vision of one's present and future success.
Together, these psychological resources, Psychological Capital (PsyCap), have a greater positive impact on performance at work and in life than each of these resources taken individually.
In other words, a person with a high level of these four qualities tends to perform more consistently and at a higher level.
More recently, a fifth element has been proposed as a starting point for the HERO journey: Mindfulness – the ability to voluntarily bring full and undivided attention to the present moment.
A mindful HERO is therefore someone who is able to be fully present in their current reality, in order to move forward without fear of failure.
How to Mindfully Discover the HERO Within You?
The Positive Transformation Cards are a coaching tool designed to support you on this journey. They focus on the 5 core skills needed for positive inner change.
The Mindful Hero journey is about learning to believe in yourself and smile no matter the circumstances. This journey is facilitated by a selection of inspiring images and thought-provoking quotes.
The Positive Transformation Cards are divided into 5 categories, linked to the acronym Mindful HERO. In addition to the 60 illustrated cards, divided into the five categories, and the quotes on the back of each card, the deck contains 5 coaching question cards (12 questions each), designed to explore the process of positive transformation and activate your Mindful HERO abilities.
Who is it for?
These cards are aimed at both individuals and professionals and can be used alone, in pairs or in groups.
They are particularly interesting and useful for care, help and support professionals (therapists, coaches, mediators, nurses, etc.), for those seeking effective communication (teachers, managers, HR, etc.) and for anyone who wants to explore their creativity and “not so conscious” thoughts (artists, but also individuals).
Its use
1. For use in structured coaching, therapy, or personal exploration:
Select a challenging situation or transformational goal you would like to work on and follow the process below. You can also use the question cards for a more detailed process. As you ask questions or ask yourself questions, follow the Conscious Hero model to create a fan of five cards. Choose these cards freely, allowing yourself to be drawn to an image. Arrange them in a circle with the Consciousness card in the center.
Attention – This is the card that represents your actual position or situation. What do you see in this picture? What does it tell you? What does this card show you? What change needs to happen?
Hope – What do you hope for? What is your goal? Where would you like to go? How do you get there? What will motivate you to start?
Effectiveness – How do you feel about this journey? Look at the colors, shapes, and details that emerge from the map, what do you learn about yourself? How confident do you feel about the challenge ahead?
Resilience – What challenges are you likely to encounter along the way? How can you best prepare for these obstacles? What resources are available to help you overcome them?
Optimism – What do you need to do or believe to ensure the outcome is positive? Are you now ready to step into the unknown? What will be your first step?
Once the process is complete, turn the cards over and read the quotes. How can your ideas and resolutions be improved by the thoughts of these wise people?
2. By combining the image and question cards:
Focus on a question, topic, or challenge that is important to you. Choose (or ask your client to choose) a card, either deliberately or randomly. These cards are primarily used to facilitate self-expression around difficult topics. Look closely at the image, pay attention to small details, allow free association, and let your imagination complete the story. Now, choose a question from one of the cards, again either deliberately or randomly. Read the words. Review the ideas that emerge from the question, the image, and the quote. Then, listen and express the responses that will inspire action.
3. As a source of inspiration during creativity workshops:
Spread the cards on the floor and invite participants to choose the ones that inspire them in relation to the workshop theme (e.g., technical improvement of a product, research into new concepts, development of a new service, etc.). These cards can generate interesting associations or give rise to ideas for new and useful solutions. They are an excellent tool for generating changes in perception and improving teamwork.
