The Culture Deck 

Transform the way your team works together!
A modern card deck designed to help teams align on values, take positive actions, and reinforce a thriving culture. Perfect for workshops, training sessions, and daily team rituals.

Team success isn’t about a temperature check once a year. It’s about the daily rhythm and commitments:

 

experiences → beliefs → values → actions → culture 

 

When your players have strong, positive experiences, their beliefs align. When beliefs align, they reinforce the team's values. When values are clear, focused actions naturally follow. And when those actions are consistent, the culture develops and results will take care of themselves.

Why Handshake, Fist Bump or High Five?

Connection between teams is one of the most important elements for team success and it starts with physical connection. Each time your team gathers there is an opportunity to physically connect non-verbally based on your comfort level, using a handshake, fist bump, a high five or even a hug. That physical connection stimulates the release of oxytocin, ("bonding hormone,") that promotes feelings of trust, empathy, and respect.  It creates an immediate, positive connection by conveying trust, respect, and confidence, which fosters further trust and cooperation.

Handshakes, Fist Bumps and High fives also lead to the following:

  • Increased cohesion: 

    More physical contact builds stronger bonds between teammates, leading to greater cooperation and trust, which translates to better teamwork.

  • Better performance metrics: 

    The studies found that high-fiving teams had higher scoring efficiency and showed more selfless play.  

  • Boosted morale: 

    High-fives and other forms of positive touch boost morale and motivation, which is crucial for both in-game success and overall team spirit. 

  • Predictive of success: 

    The amount of physical contact during the early part of a season has been shown to predict a team's overall success throughout the year.
