Customer Voices
“I just wanted to let you know that day one of using the Inspired Check-Ins card deck was awesome! The team loved it, and it cut straight to the bigger, higher level questions. You’re onto something here!”
—John Willard, US Lead for Strategy and Transformation, Quantis
Our weekly check-in felt more engaging and less monotonous! The card deck was truly instrumental in sparking deeper discussions during our weekly status update. Rather than just reviewing our tasks, it prompted us to examine critical pain points and provide more insightful feedback. I plan to incorporate this tool more frequently in upcoming one-on-one meetings.
— Nicole Blake-Baxter, PR & Marketing Consultant, The Blake Agency
This deck has really refreshed my regular one-on-one meetings ... and for several of my employees, the cards were an exciting new activity! We definitely feel like it's added structure to the discussion, and it's created a more natural way to connect across the employee experience (personal connection, more strategic thinking, leaving less un-said).
— Heather Apple, Fleet Program Management Executive, GE Aerospace
