My Good Life & Transition Toolkit
Two things matter: understanding where I am now, and helping me create the life I want. Use these activities to explore my choices, agree practical next steps and prepare a helpful summary for a planning or review meeting.
Talk through a Good Life activity
Dawn is our AI voice guide. You can ask for simpler words, talk about a fictional goal, or hear a question aloud. You still choose what matters to you. The AI cannot fill in your answers or save progress.
Testing only: Adults and supervised demonstrations. Do not share identifiable, medical or safeguarding information. ElevenLabs processes conversations, and transcripts may be retained for up to seven days.
Four activities. One person-led plan.
New for testing: Explore the Nexsteps Voice Companion pilot. Currently intended for adults and supervised demonstrations using fictional information, not confidential assessments.

All about me
What would you like people to know about you? You do not have to tell everyone everything.
My good life
Think about an ordinary day when things feel right. What would you like more of?
My choices and decisions
Different decisions need different kinds of support. Tell people what helps you understand your options.
How would I like to make this decision?
This is a preference conversation, not a Mental Capacity Act assessment. Decisions must be supported appropriately and legal duties still apply.
My relationships and community
A good life includes people, interests and places where we belong. You can use roles instead of names, for example “my sister” or “a trusted worker”.
Turn my goal into an activity
Choose what you would like to work on. Nexsteps will suggest relevant independent living activities from the 21 skills areas. You choose which to explore, with the support you prefer.
These are suggested resources, not prescribed tasks. Some topics need agreed support and safety arrangements. Opening an activity in a new tab keeps this planning page open.
My activity and progress review
Progress is about what changed in my life, not passing a test. It's fine to try part of an activity or decide to try another day.
My transition conversation summary
Use the summary in a conversation with someone you trust, a key worker, personal adviser or transition team. The summary is a discussion aid, not a completed statutory assessment.
Choose “Update my summary” to bring your responses together. Nothing is sent to Nexsteps.
Privacy: Answers stay in this browser page while it is open. They are not transmitted or saved to an account. A printed or downloaded copy is yours to manage securely. Avoid entering identifiable safeguarding disclosures or private financial details.

This toolkit helps structure a conversation about strengths, wishes, communication, decisions, relationships and meaningful outcomes. It can inform person-centred assessment and support planning, alongside statutory duties and existing local-authority processes.
Nexsteps' original activities are informed by established person-centred thinking and self-directed support approaches, including work associated with In Control and Helen Sanderson Associates. Nexsteps is not affiliated with or endorsed by those organisations.
