Introduction to this Toolkit

As coaches we know that too much stuff can fill up our lives and drain
our energy. And it's not just stuff. Overwhelm - having too many tasks
and commitments, and spending too much time with difficult people
(and not enough with those who support and inspire us) also drains us.
In order to "Spring Clean" our lives, we need to understand where our

lives are draining us (Section 1). Then we need to understand specifically
what and who is draining our energy (Section 2) - which can include tasks
that we have been procrastinating over and hang over us...
Next (Section 3), we set ourselves up for success - by getting clear on

how we would like our lives to be (in 3 months is a nice time period and
easy to focus on), as well as letting go of things that drain us, and implement some new habits
to support us!
Finally (Section 4), this Spring Clean Your Life Toolkit wraps up with a neat summary sheet that
identifies the top 3 goals to spring clean your life...
Use this toolkit to help your clients' get a fresh burst of energy - and enjoy their lives more!
SECTION 1: Assess What Areas of Your Clients'

Lives Need a Spring Clean
Use the two tools in the following section to get an overview and raise your client's awareness
as to which areas might need some focus.
TOOL 1) The Wheel of Life Template
Especially Good For: All clients.

Description and Purpose of Tool: The Wheel of Life gives a wonderful
visual representation of how balanced your client's life is. Each segment on the wheel
is scored according to how satisfied your client is across 8 key areas of their life -
raising awareness and providing the opportunity to make change. In addition, this
exercise helps clarify priorities for goal-setting, allowing the client to plan so that
their life is more balanced.
When used to "Spring Clean Your Life", this tool is a great way to begin - identifying life areas to focus on!
Note: This goal is a bonus - included from our Free Coaching Tools!
Steps and How to Use:

1. Ask your client to review the 8 areas on the Wheel of Life. Do they like the category labels? If not,
they can rename them and/or split the categories below to make them more meaningful:
i. Family & Friends (can be split to give a score to each)
ii. Partner/Significant Other/Romance
iii. Career
iv. Finances
v. Health (can be split into emotional/mental and physical/fitness/nutrition)
vi. Physical Environment/Home (can be split into work and home environments)
vii. Fun/Recreation/Leisure
viii. Personal Growth/Learning/Self-development
Other examples of areas your client might like to add to the wheel and score could include;
spiritual wellbeing, service, leadership, integrity, achievement or community.
2. Now ask your client to think about what success feels like for each area.
3. Then ask them to rank their level of satisfaction with each area of their life by drawing a line
across each segment, placing a value between 1 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (fully satisfied)
against each area to show how satisfied they are currently with these elements in their life.
Tip: Use the example wheel in the bottom right to show them how to score/draw the line.
4. The new perimeter of the circle represents their "Wheel of Life". A great question to start
reviewing their wheel is to ask them, "So is your wheel of life a bumpy ride?"
5. Now, looking at the wheel, here are some questions to ask and take the exercise deeper:
• Are there any surprises for you?
• How do you feel about your life as you look at your Wheel?
• How do you currently spend time in these areas?
• How would you like to spend time in these areas?
• Which of these elements would you most like to improve?
• How could you make space for these changes?
TOOL 1) The Wheel of Life Template continued...
• Can you effect the necessary changes on your own?

• What help and cooperation from others might you need?
• What would make that a score of 10?
• What would a score of 10 look like?
When: Use at any time in a coaching relationship for a quick life satisfaction and balance tune-
up. This is an especially good tool to use with prospects and new clients.
Use This Tool:

• In Session *
• Homework *
• Workshops *
• Teleseminars *
• Group Coaching *
* A fabulous all-round tool, with numerous additional applications for your client to gain further
and deeper learning.
Tips:
1. This is also an excellent tool to use regularly to track your clients' progress! Learn more
about how to do this in our article: A Simple 3 Step Process to Measure Progress Towards
ANY Coaching Goal!
2. Once the initial scores have been given, 3 easy follow-on activities are:
i. Brainstorming and identifying actions to raise their satisfaction scores in each segment
(or in the segments that score the lowest)
ii. Using the segment names and scores as a prompt to explore what a full and balanced life
would look like - for each wheel segment.
iii. Using the scores which the client is most dissatisfied with - or would most like to improve
- to brainstorm goals and next steps.
TOOL 2) Take Stock and Take Action Worksheet!
Especially Good For: This tool is a great starting point to explore your
client's frustrations, shoulds and what they're REALLY
looking for from life right now. Also use with clients
who are unfocused, frustrated, or who have niggling
negativity that blocks them from moving forwards.
Description and Purpose of Tool: This simple worksheet helps your

client take stock of their current situation - FAST - and then identify actions to pull themselves out!
What are your clients tolerating, what's frustrating them, what do they think they SHOULD be
doing, and what do they really want? Once they get some clarity from seeing this written down,
they'll get insights into what's getting in the way and can take action to move forwards!
For a life "Spring Clean", this is a great overview tool to explore your clients' specific frustrations,
shoulds and what they're REALLY looking for from life right now...

1. Review the instructions at the top of the form with your client.
2. Now ask your client to answer the questions on the sheet in order. Give them plenty of time
so they can ponder fully what might be going on for them.
TIP: Ask them to write down whatever comes up for them - especially anything awkward or
uncomfortable - however big, small or embarrassing it may be.
3. Before completing the wrap-up section, ask your clients questions like:
i) What surprises you from your responses?
ii) What patterns and similarities do you notice?
iii) Which questions did you enjoy answering? Which did you not enjoy answering?
iv) Is there a theme to your responses?
v) What else do you notice?
4. Finally, ask your clients to note down their Top 3 Observations - and identify an action to
move forwards for each one.
When: This coaching tool can be used any time, and can be given to your client to use
whenever they feel a bit stuck or sluggish and want to "take stock and take action"!
TOOL 2) Take Stock and Take Action Worksheet! continued...
Uses For This Tool:

• In Session  Great in session and with prospective clients
• Homework  Great as homework, then to review in session and explore further!
• Workshops 
• Teleseminars 
• Group Coaching 
Tip: Remind them NOT to think too much about their answers - and to write down whatever
'pops' into their mind for the best results.
SECTION 2: What's Draining Your Client &

Getting in the Way?
In Section 1 your client got an idea of where in their lives they might need to do some Spring
Cleaning. In Section 2, your clients get specific about what and who is draining them - and plan to
take action on something they have been procrastinating over.
TOOL 3) My Energy Zappers Coaching Exercise
Especially Good For: All types of clients.
Description and Purpose of Tool: How can we love our life if we feel
exhausted? What is zapping your clients' energy? What one thing particularly
zaps their energy? This exercise is also a great introduction to the idea that
mental and emotional drains can have a big impact on us too.
A "Spring Clean Your Life" overhaul includes finding more energy to move forwards with - and this
starts with identifying what zaps your energy!

1. Ask your client to read the instructions at the top - which also give examples of potential
energy zappers.
2. You may like to share that there are 3 key types of drains:
1) PHYSICAL Drains eg. a lack of sleep or tired & aching muscles
2) MENTAL Drains eg. incomplete tasks, clutter, unmade decisions, an outdated wardrobe etc.
3) EMOTIONAL Drains eg. long-standing arguments or 'situations', 'SHOULDS', yours or
other people’s behaviours. There may also be specific people who drain us...
3. Now coach them around their results. How did it feel to write out their energy zappers? What
did they notice? What surprised them? What did they learn from completing this exercise?
4. Finally, ask them what actions/next steps might they want to take?
When: This coaching exercise can be used at any time. Whip it out if your clients complain of
being tired or drained.
TOOL 3) My Energy Zappers continued...
Use This Tool:

• In Session * (great to use in session or for homework when a client
• Homework * complains of being tired or drained)
• Workshops *1
• Teleseminars *1
• Group Coaching *1
*1 Excellent exploration exercise in workshops, teleseminars and group coaching:
1. Get people to brainstorm in groups a list of things that zap people's energy generally.
2. Then ask them to share these with the larger group (it's good for people to hear others'
ideas and zappers!).
3. Finally ask people to write down their own unique energy zappers on the worksheet,
having got lots of new ideas from other people!
Tip: You may like to offer that your clients' energy zappers are things they might like to start
saying "No" to in their lives.
Tip: Your clients can use the "Stop Procrastinating - Get it Done!" Exercise to take action on
energy-zapping items identified here.
TOOL 4) Stop Procrastinating - Get It Done!

Especially Good For: Anyone who is procrastinating or avoiding doing a specific task or
action.
Description and Purpose of Tool: If your client has a specific action/task they keep putting
off, this coaching exercise will help them decide 1) if it definitely needs doing and 2) brainstorm ideas to
identify 3 things to get it started - or done!
Nothing says "Spring Clean" quite like completing things that have been hanging over us! If you can't find
something to work on, check the Energy Zappers Exercise for action ideas to free up some fresh energy
for your client.

NOTE: This exercise can be done in one "sitting" as a complete exercise or each page can be a
separate step. In addition Page 1 can be a standalone exercise to check and grow commitment to the
task, and Page 2 can be used standalone as a way to brainstorm ideas to get a task started or done.
PAGE 1
1. Go through the questions on page 1 with your client. Delve a little deeper
with some additional coaching questions if your intuition tells you to! You
could try questions like:
- What wants/needs to be said/heard?
- If you could wave a magic wand what would you do?
- If there was an outcome you were secretly looking for, what would it be?
2. Pay close attention to your clients' responses to questions 7 & 8. Do they
REALLY need to do this task? Really? And help them make a decision whether to either let
the task go or fully commit to move forwards with it.
3. When working directly with a client questions 9 and 10 are at your discretion.
PAGE 2
4. Ask your client to list 3 (or more) things they love for each of the 5 senses,
plus what delights them. If your client finds this difficult - a great place to
explore is what they loved in their childhood or as a teenager.
5. Next, ask them to review what they've brainstormed and use these ideas
to identify 3 actions to get moving on this task.
6. Finally, ask them to score out of 10 how likely they feel they will complete
this task now. As usual with the /10 scoring system, an 8 or more is great.
If their score is 7 or less they'll need some more coaching. You could try the questions from
step 1 above or ask, "What would secretly make the difference? What could make your score
a 10/10?"
7. Finally, we ask them to commit to the task by signing their name.
TOOL 4) Stop Procrastinating - Get It Done! continued...
When: This tool can be used any time. It is be particularly useful with an action a client repeatedly
does not complete - but says they want or need to get done!
Use This Tool:

• In Session  Use the form or simply use the questions as a coaching framework
• Homework  1
• Workshops *1
• Teleseminars *1
*1 This tool can be used 'as is' in a seminar/coaching workshop/group coaching. If you have time, the
questions on page 1 benefit from further coaching questions/exploration. You can also use page 2 as a
standalone exercise to brainstorm ideas and identify actions to move forward with.
TOOL 5) Detox Your Toxic Relationships Exercise!

Description and Purpose of Tool: WHO we spend our time with has a
significant impact on our lives - some relationships uplift and inspire us and
others are downright draining. This is about bringing awareness to, and being
intentional with, whom we spend our time. It’s a great exercise to do with all
our clients – and in our own lives too.
For a life "Spring Clean", use this exercise to look for action steps to 1) Reduce time spent with
people who drain us, as well as 2) Increase time spent with people who energize us!

1. Review the instructions with your client.
2. Ask your client to make a list of the 20 people you spend most of your time with.
3. Now ask your client to give everyone on the list a score by asking: "How do I generally feel after
spending time with this person?" Score each person on a scale from +5 to -5 (where a + leaves you
feeling good and a – leaves you feeling somehow less).
4. Now review the scores. Great questions to ask include:
- Are there any surprises?
- What are the scores for the people you spend most of your time with?
- Are you generally spending more time with the ‘pluses’ or ‘minuses’?
- How much time are you spending with the high scoring +4s and +5s on your list?
- What about the draining -4s or -5s?
- What other patterns do you notice?
5. Now decide on next steps:
a) First, consider the "plus" relationships. How could your client spend more time with them? If
you don’t have any +4s and +5s on your list, who can you think of who could fill that slot? How else
could you find and develop +4 and +5 relationships?
b) Then, consider the "minus" relationships. In theory, these are people to try and spend less time
with - but any healthy relationship has rough patches and it’s not necessarily the right thing to
discard someone simply because times get tough. You could ask if there a wound or grievance that
needs to be brought into the open and discussed. Where are they giving their power away? Who
has your client outgrown – is it time to let go and move on? And finally, for "minus" relationships
your client may still want or need, how can your client change HOW they spend time with them so
they still feel good about themselves?
c) Lastly, consider your most important relationships. Does your client need to shift things around
to spend more time with those who are most important?
TOOL 5) Detox Your Toxic Relationships continued...
When: This tool is ideal to be used as part of a life balance and self-care assessment, to help
your client gain an understanding of how they are currently taking care of their
relationships - and how those relationships take care of them...
Uses For This Tool:

• In Session  (This tool is probably best given as homework,
• Homework * then reviewed in depth in session)
Note: Avoid this exercise in workshops/group coaching - when there may be people on your
clients' lists who are also present in the workshop - and may be upset by how they are scored by
others.
Tips:
1. Remind your client that we can't change others' behaviour (only our own). So, how could
they behave, spend less time or spend time differently with people to boost their
relationships?
2. I do hope you try this exercise out on yourself! It's one of my favourite coaching tools and
gives us an empowering way to review our relationships - including partners, colleagues,
friends and family – and make conscious, powerful choices that leave us feeling better about
ourselves and our lives.
3. Finally, it may be worth mentioning that as we work on and change ourselves, we may
notice people reacting to us differently, or that we see people differently. This is all a normal
part of our growth. We may need to make a decision whether we still want these people in
our lives - and if so, how.
SECTION 3: Setting Your Client up for Success

In Section 1 your clients identified life areas to focus on. In Section 2, they identified what's draining
them and began to take action. In this Section they will get a vision and set themselves up for success!
TOOL 6) The "3 Month Vision" Worksheet

Description and Purpose of Tool: This simple visioning tool helps your
clients identify balanced and meaningful short-term goals. Your client is asked to
consider how they want their lives to be in 3 months' time across different key
life-areas. Once your client has completed this coaching exercise, it'll be easy to
drive out and set goals for the next 3 months using the notes they've made.
This exercise helps your client get clear on how they would like their life to be. It's a great place to find goals
for your clients to move forwards with following their life "Spring Clean".

1. Review the instructions at the top of the form.
2. Ask your client to complete the form, and write out they would like their lives to be in each
of the areas on the form. TIP: Remind clients that the more specific they can be when
answering the questions, the more useful it will be. If they feel like it, they can write more on
a separate sheet in answer to a particular question/s.
3. Finally, coach them around the results. How was it? Does it feel like they have a balanced
vision/potential set of goals? What's missing? What is different to what they expected? What
have they learned about themselves?
When: Use after your client has identified general life areas to work on, and what's draining
them. Then use this tool to form a vision of what they want from their life in the short term.
Use This Tool:

• In Session 
• Homework 
• Workshops 
Tip: The "Theme" they identified for the next 3 months can be very useful to return to during
coaching to focus your clients.
TOOL 7) Letting Go Coaching Exercise

Especially Good For: All types of clients. But especially where you notice
patterns of bearing grudges, holding onto the past, or resisting change.
Description and Purpose of Tool: People often hang onto things which
cloud their minds and drain them of energy - preventing them from moving forwards.
This coaching exercise also explores WHY they're holding on and the benefits of NOT
letting go.
What better way to "Spring Clean" your life, than to let go of what no longer serves you - whether
it's memories, people, 'stuff', feelings, beliefs, behaviours or something else...

1. Review the instructions with your client.
2. Then ask your client to make a list of 10 things they might need (or want) to let go of.
3. Once they've done that, ask them to consider how they benefit by "holding on" to each item. This
is what you may know as the "secondary gain" - what they gain by staying exactly as they are.
4. Now review and discuss the client's responses. Great questions to ask include:
- Are there any surprises?
- How do you feel as you review your list? How would it feel to let go of ALL of these items?
- Which items are you ready to set free? Where are you willing to loosen your grip?
- What are you NOT ready to let go of yet?
- If there was a pattern or theme that stopped you from letting go, what would it be?
5. Finally, what actions or next steps will you take following your learnings from this exercise?
When: This coaching tool works standalone and can be used any time, but is especially helpful with
forgiveness issues (self and others) and to wrap-up a period of coaching.
Uses For This Tool:

• In Session 
• Homework *
• Workshops *
• Group Coaching * (When a client struggles to let go, they may be more likely to
succeed with help from a non-judgemental group of peers!)
Tip: This coaching exercise is also a perfect way to start a discussion of the concept of
forgiveness – whether of self or others.
TOOL 8) Daily Success Habits Exercise
Especially Good For: Everyone.

Description and Purpose of Tool: By making small changes to our daily
routine (success habits) we can make BIG changes in our lives and careers! This life
coaching exercise helps your clients come up with 5 new success habits - a simple
personal framework around which the day’s activities fall into place. These habits
can be anything from health to our relationships to planning and organization or
making time to breathe - and will be utterly unique to our clients!
Use this tool to identify new daily habits that will give help "Spring Clean" and energise your
client's lifestyle!

Start by reading the background segment.
1. The exercise starts with helping your client get some context for these new daily habits by:
a) Listing their Top 3 Priorities – in life – right now
b) Listing their Top 3 Stressors – in life – right now
2. Ask your clients to brainstorm and write out five or more daily habits that could support
them – including their home, personal and work-life.
TIP 1: Sometimes it’s hard to know what is meant by specific and measurable, so use the
examples on the worksheet to get people started.
TIP 2: Focus your coaching questions to help your client identify ideas that minimise their
stressors and help them achieve their priorities. Questions like, "Where do you sabotage
yourself regularly?", "What ideas have you already (perhaps secretly) had?" and, "What one
habit would help you achieve more/get really focused on your priorities?"
3. For each habit identified, ask your clients to write the benefits alongside on the worksheet.
4. Now ask your clients to look at their list and pick 3 habits they will COMMIT to - one to start
tomorrow, one for next week and one for the next month.
TIP 3: The actions are staggered because trying to introduce 3 new habits at once might be
too much for people. Instead we let them get started, feel good, build impetus, then add
the next habit. But you can customise and do whatever works best for your client.
5. Finally, to wrap-up ask your clients, "Who do you need to BE to implement these habits?"
When: This is a great exercise to do early on in the coaching relationship – to help your clients
create a healthy and helpful framework in their lives, and support the coaching process.
You can give this exercise as homework, asking your clients to write out their answers, or
simply use this as a series of questions that you ask verbally – in a session or workshop.
TOOL 8) Daily Success Habits Exercise continued...
Use This Tool:

• In Session *
• Homework *
• Workshops *
* This exercise is a fabulous all-rounder!
Tip: It takes time and practice to implement new habits. They start as simple actions and
gradually, as we do them regularly, they become habits. It can take anything from 21-30
days to implement a new habit – and it takes a few months or more to cement a habit. So
remind your clients to be kind to themselves on the days they don’t remember – and just
start again the next day!
SECTION 4: Wrap-Up
What better way to wrap up than to summarise key learnings and set 3 goals to move forwards with!
TOOL 9) Spring Clean Your Life - Summary & Goals Sheet

Description and Purpose of Tool: This tool helps you and your client to
summarise the key goals, learnings and action steps to wrap-up this "Spring Clean
Your Life Toolkit" and provide a reference for your clients to take forwards.
In addition you can also use this tool as a mini standalone coaching tool to help
your clients let go of what doesn't serve them, identify new habits, goals and
action steps for a quick "Life Spring Clean". See the STANDALONE tips below.

1. Start by asking your clients to write out 3 new daily success habits. Ideally these will come
straight from the "Daily Success Habits" exercise - but the client might choose something else!
STANDALONE: Coach your clients to identify 3 daily habits that will help them achieve the
life they want. Questions you could ask include, "What would give you more energy?",
"What would boost your health/relationships/peace of mind?" and "What new habit could
you introduce that would freshen up and/or simplify your life?"
2. Next ask your clients to identify their "Top 3" Goals that will help them "Spring Clean" their
life. If they need help coming up with 3 goals, here are some ideas. Review:
• The areas with low scores on the "Wheel of Life"
• The "3 Month Vision" worksheet
• Their "Energy Zappers" (look for goals to boost their energy)
• Their frustrations and desires on the "Take Stock and Take Action" Worksheet
You could also ask "What would a "Spring Cleaned" life look like?", "What would be in your
life that isn't there currently?", "What would no longer be in your life?" and, "How do you
want to feel?", "What would give your life a breath of fresh air?"
STANDALONE: Coach your client to identify 3 goals to "Spring Clean" their life - using the
questions above, and your own!
3. To increase commitment and excitement, for each goal identify both 1) a Benefit and 2) ONE
key action step with a date to complete it by.
4. Finally, ask your client to choose 3 things they want to let go of. As it says on the form this
could be a limiting belief, bad habit, energy zapper, someone in their life or something else!
If your client has completed it, review the "Letting Go Exercise" and see if their Top 3 items
to let go of can be found there.
TOOL 9) Spring Clean Your Life - Summary & Goals Sheet continued...
5. Once completed let your client know they can cut out the form and put it somewhere they
will see it regularly. Suggest they might want to actually READ it rather than just look at it to
keep them focused. They can also check off their actions as they complete them.
6. Finally, ask them, how was it? What's missing? What is different to what they expected?
What have they learned about themselves?
Note: You could also give this tool as homework after the other tools have been completed,
then review and coach your client around the results in session.
When: This coaching tool is ideally the wrap-up for the "Spring Clean Your Life Toolkit". But it
can also be used standalone eg. for a "Spring Clean Your Life" coaching session!
Use This Tool:

• In Session 
• Homework 
• Workshops 
In Summary:
There are 9 Life Spring Cleaning Tools in this toolkit and this guide was written to help you
use this toolkit more effectively. The tools, tips and sequence above are suggestions only - it all
depends on you and your client - so dance in the moment, have fun and play with your tools!
