Cards on the Table (Literally)

Hey you,

My eldest—Freya—is something of a Vinted queen these days, forever revolving and evolving her wardrobe. In the process, she's claimed pretty much every spare box and corner of storage in the house.

Which is how we stumbled across several unopened boxes of my books and coaching cards—still neatly packed, still full of intention, still… just sitting there. It felt like bumping into an old friend you meant to call back, only to realise they’ve been patiently waiting for months.

These books and cards have travelled far since I first made them. They’ve popped up in workshops, classrooms, coaching sessions, late-night reflections, and even one wedding speech! But now, with the world ever more digital and my cupboards ever more full, they’re waiting for another chance to be useful.

And as much as I love digital tools, I still believe there’s a place for the physical.

The stuff you can hold. That gets coffee-stained and dog-eared. The kind of thing you pull from a rucksack months later and think, oh yeah, this was helpful. The sort of tool you lend to a colleague, forget to retrieve, and don’t really mind.

My wife recently reminded me of that Friends episode where Phoebe tries to save the old Christmas trees from the chipper, because they deserved to “fulfil their destiny.” That’s what this feels like.

So I’ve decided to let them go.

Not in a big-marketing-campaign kind of way. No flashy codes. No urgency countdowns. Just quietly offering them up at below cost, because I’d rather they were in your hands—or a friend’s—than in my attic.

If you’ve ever thought about grabbing a set for yourself, or someone you coach, teach, mentor, or vaguely like… this is the moment.

You can find them at my website and just click shop.

There’s everything from agile joke books to hardback copies of Scrum Mastery, from packs of retrospective cards to Team Mastery books, and more. Something for every kind of agile nerd or curious human.

Send one to a friend. Leave a set in your team room. Use them as existential coasters. I don’t mind. Just let them live a little.

And if you don’t need anything? That’s fine too. You being here is already enough.

With gratitude (and slightly more shelf space),

P.S. If you already have one of my products and found it useful, a quiet shout online or a nudge to a friend would mean a lot. I’m not above gentle peer pressure.
