Who are you becoming at work?
Work is changing. Roles are shifting. Most of us are making it up as we go.
The Adaptive Identity Game is a conversational tool to help individuals and teams explore who they are at work, and how they work together, beyond job titles.
Join early playtests, community experiences, and follow along as we test, learn, and shape the deck together.
Explore identity beyond job titles
Designed for change, transition, and reinvention
For individuals, coaches, facilitators, and teams
A new way to talk about work
The Adaptive Identity Game is a flexible, conversation-based tool designed to help people explore who they are at work, especially during times of change.
Using a simple combination of cards, participants create new ways of describing how they work, what they bring, and who they are becoming. The result is often surprising, energizing, and practical.
It can be used in coaching conversations, workshops, team sessions, or informal gatherings to spark reflection, connection, and new possibilities.
Designed for coaches, facilitators, trainers, and therapists
Useful for career transitions, promotions, performance conversations, and role shifts
Helps teams navigate change and evolving ways of working
Simple to use in workshops, coaching, or group conversations
Built through real playtesting with professionals across industries
Based in Adaptability Intelligence (AQ) science, CliftonStrengths, Positive Psychology & neuroscience.
A simple format for powerful conversations.
To play, participants draw cards, create new identities, and explore how they show up at work in fresh ways. Conversations unfold quickly. People connect across roles, experiences, and perspectives.
What starts as playful becomes meaningful, practical, and energizing. We unlock new language for how we show up and see ourselves in our work, now, and for what's next.
How to play:
Each person draws 3 cards to create a new work identity.
Share and reflect individually, in pairs, and small groups.
Discover strengths, possibilities, and areas for growth.
Leave with new language for how you show up at work.

I don't usually like word games, but this gave me an easy starting place. It was fun, and I left feeling inspired and hopeful about my future.

Early participant
It's such a simple format, but the conversations were surprisingly thoughtful and deep. I can immediately see how I will use this in coaching and team sessions.

Coach & Facilitator
People connected about their roles and themselves in ways that don’t usually happen in workshops. It helped us move beyond job titles and talk about strengths, possibilities, and how we show up at work.
