A leadership team on the brink finds unexpected healing through a card game, sparking genuine connection and lasting change in how they work together.
The story
Around a crackling fire at a mountain retreat, a leadership team faced their breaking point. Fractured communication and rising tensions had taken their toll. That’s when someone pulled out Play to Evolve.
Initially skeptical, the team discovered this wasn’t just another card game. Based on practical empathy and nonviolent communication principles, it created a space where strategy met genuine human connection.
The quiet finance director emerged as a natural mediator. The typically dominant sales VP learned to seek input from others. As they played, the artificial barriers of corporate hierarchy melted away, replaced by authentic collaboration.
The transformation was subtle but profound. Team members started reading each other’s subtle cues, understanding perspectives, and making decisions with consideration for their collective impact. This wasn’t forced team building – it was natural connection through play.
When they returned to the office, something had shifted. Meetings became more productive. Conflicts resolved faster. Trust grew stronger. The team kept a deck in their conference room as a reminder: sometimes the best path to professional growth is through play that nurtures real human connection.
Experience the power of Play to Evolve – where leadership development meets meaningful engagement. Because true team transformation starts with understanding each other.
