Welcome to our Transformations™ Cards tool!

 The Transformations cards are an easy-to-use tool for enabling insights and conversations about human development, personal leadership stories, and individual/collective change. Used in personal/team coaching, leadership development programs, and executive education, the Transformations Cards offer a simple structure to help a leader reflect on their own leadership journey and explores what might contribute to shifts in thinking along the way.
We offer two options of the tool – hard copy and virtual.
Both options invite a leader to sift through a deck of 84 Life Logic cards that describe their leadership journey: past, present, and future. They are then asked to choose from a second deck of 50 Catalyst cards, to describe periods of transformation on that journey. A leader then creates a timeline or collage with the cards they have chosen to help gain insights from their personal story and/or to share with others. Read more below…

Hard copy Transformations™ Cards

The hard copy cards consist of 84 Life Logic cards plus 50 Catalyst cards. The hard copy set is a flexible, user-friendly tool for self-understanding, coaching, leadership and culture development. The pack includes suggestions for a variety of coaching and group development uses. Among its benefits are the creation of self-insight and dialogue about the stages and processes of human development, in a way that is engaging as well as reflective, playful as well as serious, and impactful as well as fun. 

Virtual Transformations online version

The online Transformations tool is designed for individuals of all ages and backgrounds with the aim of exploring one’s own individual journey by selecting virtual cards and journalling about the choices on an easy to use online platform, before downloading a pdf of this journey, and coming together to be shared within a group setting or coaching context. It offers a map for development of how we are becoming ever more expansive, and explorative in our reactions, where we are leaning into old habits, and where our reactions of today are taking us.

GLA’s other assessments: the GLP & MWV

Our Transformations cards offer an open to all introduction to vertical development. If you want to go deeper, take a look at our other assessments.  Locating current strengths and limitations in a leader’s decision-making process opens up the possibility for change. Working with the GLP or MyWorldView, GLA’s new validated and reliable AI scored vertical measure & digital learning experience, individuals can reach out and transform themselves and their situation rather than withdrawing from complexity in the world.

Benefits of Using Transformations Cards

    • better understanding of what lies behind a person’s style of leadership.
    • builds trust between colleagues/team members as users share their collages/timelines and tell their personal stories.
    • deeper dialogue with colleagues about personal, group, organisational and societal development.
    • opens the possibility of personal growth as the exercise demonstrates that human perspectives aren’t immovable. This enables coaches/facilitators to help explore a critical inquiry: as a leader(s), how might I (we) need to shift or adapt thinking in the season ahead?
    • great introduction to vertical development before deeper dives in programmes or with MyWorldView® or the GLP.
    • adds a fresh and novel touch to coaching and group exercises, as users find the activity energising and enjoyable.
    • it’s affordable.
    • wide accessibility as the pictures bypass the need for words and help users make deep connections. The labels, for those drawn to them, are available in multiple languages in the digital version.
    • Transformations is used with people from different backgrounds and of all ages, the world over.
