INTRODUCTIONEnlightened ways of working require newways of understanding how we connect.Inspired by the principles of Tarot —thesecards are designed to build connectionthrough the power of stories and play.Stories are the most powerful way wehumans connect—they bring us to a placeof better understanding. The cards representa collection of symbols and words—the bones of stories, which can be told inan infinite number of ways, depending onthe person telling the story.In work, in life, and in stories, perspectiveis key. Getting outside of our routine canradically change the way we see things andthe stories we tell. These cards prompt usto share and understand parts of our deeperselves to create a more humane, purposeful,equitable and inclusive work culture.CONTRIBUTERSMichelle Morrison, Alice Katter
