Tell Me More!

The AHA deck of cards is designed for self-reflection, decision-making, and gaining insight into your personal and professional life. Whether you’re navigating challenges or feeling stuck, these cards offer practical guidance to help shift your perspective and uncover your “aha” moments within.

Each card presents a key trait or principle, with a brief description and actionable tip or exercise. The five categories cover essential skills for personal growth and effective management, making the deck a versatile tool for anyone seeking clarity and confidence.

1. Communication, Influence, and Persuasion: Develop skills to effectively convey ideas, inspire, and collaborate through verbal and nonverbal communication.

2. Situational and Interpersonal Awareness: Enhance your ability to read social cues, manage emotions, practice empathy, and resolve conflicts.

3. Management, Strategy, and Results: Focus on organizing and directing resources to achieve goals.

4. Creativity and Problem Solving: Encourage innovation and critical thinking to tackle challenges with fresh perspectives and effective solutions.

5. Professional Acumen and Attitude: Build the knowledge and mindset for success.

Ideas

Use the AHA Deck of cards in any way that helps you. Here are some ideas to get you started.

  • Think of a pressing problem or challenge you feel stuck on. Shuffle the deck and deal three cards. Find a theme between them or pick one action and do it to get closer to resolution.

  • There are five categories; pick one color to focus your improvement efforts.

  • Have a pair of people or entire teams pick a card and brainstorm how to adopt that attribute best to improve or enhance their current work.

  • Use the deck as a pocket-coach. Draw a random card each day. Reflect and take action.
