WAYS TO USE THE CARD DECK

1) Reflect, Journal, and Reconnect with your Soul

You don’t have to know all the answers right now. But you can start by asking better questions.

The Career Chat Cards can be a gentle guide for deep inner reflection. When used alone, they become a powerful journaling tool to:

• Uncover what truly matters to you

• Process past experiences and turning points

• Discover hidden dreams and buried desires

• Explore your values, purpose, and calling

• Reignite your sense of self

EXAMPLE:

You shuffle the cards and pick one. You turn it over and read the question aloud.

You breathe. Reflect. Write what comes up without judgment. Sometimes clarity shows up in a single sentence. Other times it’s a slow unfolding—one page at a time.

Many people draw a card each day as part of a career mindfulness ritual—like a morning meditation for the soul. Just one question can shift your energy, your focus, and your day.

Let this deck be your companion during:

• Sabbaticals or life transitions

• Morning rituals or evening wind-downs

• Retreats and solo getaways

• Times when you feel stuck or uncertain

• Moments when you’re ready to dream again

True career clarity starts within. These cards help you listen.

2) Guide Others in Meetings, Groups, Retreats

If you're someone who helps others grow—whether you're a teacher, coach, counselor, or parent—this deck is your new favorite tool. The Career Chat Cards help you hold space for honest, insightful conversations that go far beyond “What do you want to do?” Instead, you’ll explore more meaningful questions.

These prompts invite:

• Self-awareness

• Confidence-building

• Authentic expression

• Dialog exchange and heartfelt discussions

• Clarity around strengths, values, and direction

EXAMPLES:

• Start with a Card Circle: Have each person draw a card and answer aloud in a small group. This builds trust, confidence, and connection—especially helpful in classrooms or team-building sessions.

• Use as Educational Reflection Prompts: Assign a card as a journaling question before coaching, therapy, or class discussions. It sets a reflective tone and helps people connect with their own insights before receiving outside input.

• Flip the Question: Invite the client/student to ask you the question on the card first. This models vulnerability, builds rapport, and creates a two-way mentoring dynamic that deepens trust.

3) Create New Career Opportunities

80% of opportunities never get posted. So how do you find them? You talk to people. You ask good questions. You stay curious. You stay you.

The Career Chat Cards make networking feel natural, not forced. Whether you’re at a coffee chat, alumni event, Zoom call, or backyard hangout, these prompts spark real conversations that can lead to:

• Informational interviews

• Unexpected job leads

• Mentorships and collaborations

• Invitations to apply for unlisted roles

• Clarity around what you’re really looking for

When you show up authentically and ask thoughtful questions, people remember you—and often want to help. These cards are your secret weapon for:

✔️ Making a memorable impression
✔️ Starting conversations without awkwardness
✔️ Building trust and rapport
✔️ Finding clarity through reflection and connection

Networking doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be playful, thoughtful, and even fun. These cards show you how.

Conversations open doors—and this deck helps you walk through them. When used with friends, colleagues, mentors, or even new connections, these questions can spark life-changing insights. It’s not just networking—it’s meaningful human connection. And when you show up with authenticity, others want to help you succeed.

EXAMPLE:

You're meeting someone for coffee to learn about their job. Instead of asking, "What do you do?"…you draw a card and invite them to answer in this playful way.

Suddenly the conversation shifts. You learn so much about who this person is authentically. You then share your response to the card’s question. It’s more personal. More honest. And more likely to lead to a real connection—and real opportunities.

Networking doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be friendly, thoughtful, and even fun. These cards show you how.
