Candace Lore (reviewing The Unstuck Box One to Ones):
"I’ve been so pleased with the conversations... Creating a comfortable space to talk about hard things that may not otherwise have been discussed. I was looking for something that would help create a more engaged space with my team, and I’m thrilled to say this is exactly what I was looking for!"

Richard Thompson (reviewing The Unstuck Box Conflict Resolution):
"I really struggled to get things out of some of my less communicative staff... Bought them and it’s completely transformed my one to ones."

That's why we can make this iron-clad promise:

Unstuck & Moving Forward

A fun, practical, and surprisingly effective tool for navigating professional roadblocks. Each card offers a clear, easy-to-follow prompt or insight that helps shift your mindset, reframe challenges, and take action—without feeling overwhelmed. What makes this deck stand out is how easy it is to use. You don’t need hours of planning or deep introspection to get value from it. Just pull a card, reflect for a moment, and you’re already moving forward. Whether you're facing indecision, burnout, creative blocks, or just feeling stuck in the day-to-day, these cards offer immediate, applicable guidance. They’re engaging, positive, and often just the nudge you need to regain momentum.

Highly recommended for professionals, managers, and teams who want a low-pressure way to spark progress and clarity.

Great Product

I have found this product to be helpful in helping me managing my team and find it useful to having structured conversations.

Totally recommend The Unstuck Box.

Easy to use resources at my fingertips

Bought this as a gift for my leadership team. Rather than having to source the resources, my leaders now have these great resources at their fingertips and the bonus is that they are so easy to use so they are now consistently being used in team meetings and one-on-ones!

Hear from US-based managers who made the leap:

Here's exactly how the program looks:

Week 1

Build your leadership foundation while achieving immediate improvements

We'll ship your new resources using express delivery within 24 hours, but you'll get instant access to the All Decks Digital Access so you can use conversation prompts from your very next meeting.

We also suggest you read the "Prepare Like a Pro" chapter from the High-Impact 1-1 Playbook we'll send after you order - you’ll get a couple of "low-hanging fruit" ideas which you can use to immediately improve the flow of your forthcoming management meetings (while you wait for your decks to arrive!)

After you receive your decks and 1-1 Planner, you'll start planning for next week, tracking what each team member needs and the right structure for your conversations in Week 2.

Leadership Accelerator coaching only: We'll try to schedule your first coaching session as soon as convenient, so you'll know exactly what you're receiving and how to use each part of the bundle.

1

By Week 2

Deepen relationships and establish your new leadership rhythm

By now, you'll be using your new tools before every meeting. Following the steps in the High-Impact 1-1 Playbook, you'll know exactly what you want out of every meeting you go into.

Your team will have noticed a difference – you'll be running 1:1s that your team actually looks forward to using career development cards from One to Ones deck.

Using the Performance Improvement deck, you'll have a clear picture of what's holding back each team member and a plan to tackle it.

Leadership Accelerator coaching only: You'll have received your personalized implementation plan, so you're reaching for the right tools at the right time.

2

By Weeks 3-4

Navigate difficult conversations and drive performance

You're well on your way to being a transformative leader.

You'll know the career aspirations of everyone on your team and you'll have discussed a plan to get them there. Importantly, you'll have identified unique motivators for each team member and implemented a personalized motivation strategy for each person.

You'll feel ready by now to finally have transparent relationships with underperformers - they'll know exactly where they stand and you'll have a joint plan for improvement.

You'll spot brewing conflicts and have a plan to stop them before they explode. Using the Conflict Resolution mediation cards, you'll facilitate discussion between conflicting team members, document resolution processes and schedule follow-up check-ins.

It's time to communicate some of your successes upwards, using the Workplace Communication deck! You'll prepare executive updates using the persuasion techniques in the deck, deliver them, note down the positive feedback and feed back to your team.

Leadership Accelerator coaching only: You'll have your second session, where we'll ideate solutions to the team problems which keep you up at night.

Delivered after each session

Why is this better than training?

Manager training courses typically take 1-3 days, cost 4-5 figures, and leave you with a lot of theory but very little practice. You might get some handout slides in the follow up email, but in a month’s time, they’ll be buried in your inbox.

Our physical tools are different. They’re designed to live on your desk (so you’ll remember to use them), and they’re bright and inspirational (so you’ll enjoy using them). We designed the planner so that it seamlessly fits into your team catchups – you’ll pull it out daily, and it’ll help you remember what you’re working on with each team member.


We guarantee that The Unstuck Box will become part of your workflow. It’s why our tools work.

Leadership Accelerator: Coaching From The Unstuck Box Founder

For managers who want to make serious progress fast, coaching is our guided experience designed to deliver rapid transformation. In addition to the full Unstuck Box Better Leader Bundle, this tier includes two private 1:1 coaching sessions with The Unstuck Box founder Nicholas Holmes.

Nicholas is an Unstuck coach and the author of multiple Unstuck Box products and the High-Impact 1-1 Playbook. He brings years of leadership experience at Google and Accenture, as well as the hard-earned lessons of building award-winning companies from scratch.


You’ll meet twice across the first month at mutually convenient slots: the first session is a 30-min personalized usage and strategy consultation for your new kit - tailored precisely to your team dynamics, goals, and context. He’ll help you set up the system for success and avoid common missteps.


The second call is a 30-min focused coaching session around employee engagement, objectives, or specific challenges you’re facing in leadership. Whether you’re struggling to motivate, navigate performance issues, or build trust, this is your space to get unstuck.

Each session is transcribed and delivered to you in a PDF - your own private playbook. You'll also get a US-exclusive hard copy of Nicholas' book, The Unstuck Box® High-Impact 1:1 Playbook. And of course, you’re backed by our full satisfaction guarantee.

“For managers who understand that their most powerful tool isn't their authority, but their humanity"
