My wife bought me a copy of the one to one planner recently because I spend my time moaning about how unstructured my one to ones are and how I really struggled to get things out of some of my less communicative staff. I then went online and saw the one to one cards, bought them and it’s completely transformed my one to ones. The cards include a large range of things and my favourite so far has been asking staff what they’d change first if they were CEO.
Great gift for someone who is new to management or just wants to mix things up a bit.
I’ve implemented the Unstuck Box in my one on ones and my new employee 90 day evaluations so far. I’ve been so pleased with the conversations they initiate, creating a comfortable space to talk about hard things that may not otherwise have been discussed. The questions are light and conversational and take the weight off our meetings. 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!
I use the UnStuck Box and Workplace Communication Box less for myself and more in crafting quick weekly emails to send to out employee network and offer quick PD tips and tricks. I can use the box to craft a bunch at a time, easily make them bite sized, personalize, and schedule for a future date.
I still haven't quite figured out to use the Performance Improvement box, but it does have great Qs and prompts if you do a lot of performance reviews and discuss and feel the conversations are a little stale.
We got these for my directors who are now using them for team meetings, 1:1 interviews, and pre-hire inquiries and they’ve been insightful just in the first few weeks I’ve had them. Thank you!
I’m in the process of changing jobs and will soon be leading a new team. I’ve purchased the cards from The Unstuck Box to refresh and reset my leadership approach. It’s very easy to get yourself set into fixed ways and forget about past learnings.
These cards are an excellent way to remind yourself of other ways of approaching a leadership challenge and, as important, provide an easy reference for specific problems when they occur.
Just flicking through the cards when they arrived already gave me ideas on how to onboard to a new team leadership role.
Leading a large team of technical professionals I have found the ideas shared in the Conflict Resolution Unstuck box to be very helpful in managing my team with confidence.
As someone seasoned in one-on-ones and supervision, I didn’t expect a box of prompt cards to shake things up, but The Unstuck Box did just that. It’s been brilliant for opening up meaningful conversations, especially with people new to these spaces who aren’t quite sure what to say (or where to look).
The prompts are thoughtful, surprising, and disarming in the best way.
These cards have been like opening new doors on how to think about things. They have given me something to move my thinking and truly get me unstuck! This really helps with confidence.
Nice box to shuffle through when thinking.
some of the concepts are familiar, but there are also new ideas that I can go away and find more detail.
There are a lot of cards, arranged in to groups that trigger conversations. I have found them useful as neither my colleague or I are big on small talk and it's given us a starting point.
Thought provoking and insightful questions that lead to conversations to evolve into a better leader and manager. Very useful.
Although I work as a therapist I have found the perfect persuasion deck an invaluable resource to remind me the fundamentals of how to build a relationship with clients. I especially appreciated the cards on trustworthiness and pain point pinpoint. I can see how the box would benefit anyone who wants to improve their interactions with others.
I am a leadership consultant and executive coach and I find the Unstuck Boxes a hugely valuable resource to help me think through challenges, generate ideas and provide support to the leaders I work with. Absolutely packed with through-provoking and interesting things which always get me moving in the right direction!
The idea is creative and a few of the cards are thought provoking, but I wish they would have more action steps
I saw the Unstuck ad on Instagram and was intrigued. As a GenX'er with multiple GenZ and Millennial direct reports, it's sometimes difficult for me to draw out what they're goals are and how I can best support them. Using the Unstuck 1:1 cards, I have them pick a few and it gives us new and interesting talking points during each of our sessions. The results - so far so good! And my direct reports have all given the cards a thumbs up for improving our discussions. Thanks Unstuck!
The Unstuck One-to-One Cards have been a great tool—really helpful for sparking better conversations with new team members and getting people thinking in new ways. They’ve made my catchups smoother and more focused. Their customer service has been great—super friendly and quick to respond.
Inflexible, arrogant, narrow minded, self righteous customer service. Unstuck box ok as a product.
The Perfect Persuasion cards are helpful. They could have simpler examples.
I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I could use these cards to engage with my team. I’ve been able to use some of these questions as a point to consider during regularly scheduled 1:1s but they have also helped shape some strategic planning efforts that we are engaging with for staff professional development. I’d highly recommend. I found myself using them as a manager but also reflecting as an employee.
Started using these with my team meetings across various volunteer organizations and already seeing a difference with a single use. The amount of team bonding, communication in general feedback has been impressive.
I ordered the manager's pack which has 4 boxes. Only 1 box has arrived so I am still missing 3. The shipping vendor says these boxes were delivered, but I cannot access the picture of where the delivery was left. When I contacted Unstuck, they said to wait 3 more days and then contact them again to see what they can do. This bundle was over $100 and I'm not getting the product as soon as I needed it (to plan staff development). Such a shame because I like the one box I received (on Team Building), but without the rest of the item I purchased, I have to rate this low. I hope the company gets a better, reliable and reputable shipper. Just be prepared to wait over 3+ weeks to get your product.
Interesting concepts 50%.
