Purposeful Connection Card Deck

These cards were born from a moment where connection could have saved a life: In September 2025, while fulfilling a lifelong dream of flying in a hot air balloon, a man on our flight -someone I didn’t know -took his own life. I’ve wondered since what might have shifted if we had noticed, reached out, listened and truly seen him, in the lead -up to the flight.

This deck is my response to that moment: an opportunity to spread connection wider than just the teams and individuals we work with. They are an invitation to slow down, notice, and move beyond the superficial. Every question is a doorway: to empathy, understanding, laughter, or grace.

As Purposefully Blended celebrates 10 years,  these cards are more than a box of questions: they are a celebration of thousands of conversations, moments and people. They capture our biggest lesson: connection isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up with curiosity, compassion, and purpose. 

What the Deck Is
