Directions

• Select five cards.
• Place the card that is least like you face down on the

table.

• Mingle with the group and trade cards to get an

increasingly accurate description of yourself as reflected in your cards.

• When you have four cards that describe you well,

think about your workplace strengths and select the two cards in your hand that best reflect those strengths.

• Discard the other two by placing them on a table face

up.

• Trade any card in your hand for any card on any table

that you believe more accurately describes your workplace strengths.
