Self-esteem and consultant's toolkits

I recently had to brush off my self-esteem toolkit, and I couldn't remember everything in it. I would normally turn to More Secrets of Consulting: The Consultant's Tool Kit for the details, but I never seem to be at home when I need to remember all of them. So, I figured I'd list them out here with some links.

The self-esteem toolkit comes from Virginia Satir. There's a good article describing it's elements here . The basic elements are:

• The golden key


• The detective hat


• The courage stick


• The wishing wand


• The wisdom box


• The yes-no medallion


• The heart

In More Secrets of Consulting: The Consultant's Tool Kit, Weinberg adds the following:

• The mirror


• The telescope


• The fish-eye lens


• The gyroscope


• The egg


• The carabiner


• The feather


• The hourglass


• The oxygen mask

He describes them all ever-so-briefly here . The mirror, telescope, and fish-eye lens all have to do with Satir's congruence model (self, other, context) which Rick Brenner shows some applications of here .
