Imagery & affirmations — author, voice, assign¶

Audience: coaches. Create guided imagery (visualization) scripts and affirmations, give them audio, assign them to a coachee or group, and see how they land.

Both live under the Exercise Library tab in the coach dashboard (called Assignments until 19-Oct-2026), each with a Browse / Create / Assign / Manage set.

Library scripts are edited by an admin

Once an imagery or affirmation is in the shared Library, every coach uses it (assigned, in packs, in workshops), so only an admin can edit or delete it, even if you wrote it. To adapt one, make a private copy and change that. Your own private scripts are yours to edit as before.

Imagery (guided visualizations)¶

An imagery exercise is a script the coachee reads or listens to, optionally with a narrated audio track and a background ambient-music overlay.

Create one — Assignments → Imagery → Create / Manage Imagery (needs the Create Imagery permission; if it's locked you'll see a CPD badge): 1. Write the title and the script (the words the coachee follows). 2. Audio (optional): generate a narration with text-to-speech (pick a voice), or upload your own recording. You can also attach an ambient music track to play underneath. 3. Save.

Assign it — Assignments → Assign Imagery → choose the imagery, a coachee or group, and optional schedule/due dates. Manage Imagery Assignments lists what's out.

Affirmations¶

Short, repeatable prompts (text and/or audio). Create under Assignments → Affirmations → Browse / Create (needs the Create Affirmation permission). - A New Affirmation has a title and optional text. The audio section is the one place to attach audio — you can upload a track even if there's no text (e.g. a sung affirmation). The file stages when you pick it and attaches when you click Create. - Waitley cadence — a one-click button that restructures your affirmation into the Dennis Waitley style: each statement is repeated twice with a silent pause for the client to repeat it to themselves, before the next statement. It adds the pause markers for you, so a generated audio track has the gaps built in. Runs on the text you've written; safe to re-apply. - Background music (optional) — attach a bed from the shared ambient-music library. It plays softly underneath the spoken affirmation for the coachee (the same overlay imagery uses). Choose it in the affirmation's audio area; it saves as soon as you pick it. It's not layered on a personal song (see below) — a full song doesn't get a second bed. - Assign under Assign Affirmation; Manage Affirmation Assignments lists them.

Personal songs (per coachee)¶

An affirmation or imagery can carry a personal track for one coachee — either a generated song (see Music Studio, below) or one you upload just for them. It plays instead of the shared audio, so the same affirmation can have a different song per client.

Music Studio (paid)¶

Exercise Library → Music Studio. It's a paid feature, unlocked by a subscription, a free trial or an admin grant, and metered in credits per generation.

Background music: generate an instrumental track for a coachee from a prompt, preview it, then attach it to their imagery as background music.
Song prompt: draft a song's style, lyrics and excluded styles from one of your coaching sessions, to use in your own music generation tool. (If you're testing Make a song for a client below, you won't see this: you make the song in the Studio instead.)

Make a song for a client (test, selected coaches)¶

Some coaches are testing songs made with AI music generation directly in the Music Studio. If you're one of them, you can start a song from wherever you are:

In a coaching session: Make a song (under the S.P.O.R.T. canvas) opens the song maker on top of the session, for that client, with the title, lyrics and style already drafted from the session. You never leave the session; follow steps 3 to 5 below.
From an affirmation: Make a song from this affirmation in the affirmation editor (the lyrics start from its words), or Make a song when assigning an affirmation to a client.

The last two open Make a song for a client in the Studio:

Pick the client.
Write the lyrics, or choose Draft lyrics from a coaching session to fill in the lyrics, style, excluded styles and title from your notes with them. Sessions are listed newest first, by date and title. Edit anything before you generate.
Set the style of music, any styles to exclude, the vocals (any, female or male), the length and the model: v6 is the best quality, v6 mini is faster, v6 wild is more adventurous. Advanced settings add style influence (how closely it follows the style), weirdness and take variety (how different the two takes are).
Generate. The first time, you're asked to agree to send the lyrics, title and style to our music generation partner, which makes the song outside MyZone; choose I agree and generate. (Which partner? under the agreement names it, and so does the privacy policy.) Your client agrees too. The first time, they're asked on their own dashboard. Until they agree, you'll see "Your client hasn't agreed yet" with Remind them. Sample clients don't need to agree. A song costs 3 credits with v6 or v6 wild, 2 with v6 mini (an instrumental, 1). About a minute later you get two takes. Listen to both and choose Use this take on the one you want.
Under Songs for [client], choose Give to [client]. The song becomes a private affirmation, with the lyrics as its text, assigned to them. It appears on their screen like any affirmation, and in your Affirmations. Or choose Attach to an existing affirmation to make it the song for one they already have.

Songs for [client] lists every song you've made for that client, so you can listen again, switch takes, or give a song again. If a song doesn't finish, choose Try again: you're only charged for songs that finish.

Keep names out of the lyrics

The song is made outside MyZone. If the lyrics or title mention your client's name, you'll be warned first. Change it, or go ahead if you're sure.

What the coachee does — and what you see back¶

The coachee opens the imagery/affirmation, plays the audio, and marks it complete. They can optionally rate it (1–5), reflect on how it went, and leave feedback for you — all optional, editable any time. You see their rating + written feedback per item on the coachee's Assignments tab (open a coachee → Assignments), and for imagery, "Opened N×" as a usage signal.

Choosing a voice¶

The voice picker plays a short sample of each of the nine voices, so you can hear one before spending a generation on it. Names are decoded too — bm_george shows as George (UK, male). Samples are shared and pre-made, so previewing costs nothing.

Tidying up old audio¶

Regenerating audio replaces the current version and keeps the previous one. Once you've settled on a take, Delete older versions clears the rest. It never touches the version you're using.

A piece of content you create is private to you until you publish it to the Library. If you want a colleague's eyes on it first, use Shared with on the item and pick them by name — they'll see it in their library while it's still private. They can read it; editing and deleting stay with you.

This is the middle ground between "only me" and "everyone", and it's the intended way to get something reviewed before it goes out.

Good to know¶

Scripts are copy-protected when read. When a coachee opens an imagery or affirmation, the script text can't be selected, copied, or right-clicked — a deterrent against casual lifting (not DRM). It only affects the read view; your create/edit editor stays fully selectable.
Browse Imagery is open to all coaches; creating/editing imagery and affirmations is gated on the matching CPD permission (an admin grants it).
Bundle them into a journey with Programme Packs once the imagery pack items land (exercises ship today; imagery/affirmation items are a later phase).
