Overview

Strong teams are built through the conversations that actually happen, not the ones that get skipped because no one knows how to start them. Conversation Cards for Coworkers & Managers is a deck of 150 workplace-curated questions that help managers and teams move past small talk and into conversations that build trust and improve how people work together.

Each card is organized into one of three color-coded categories, so the deck adapts to the moment: a lighthearted icebreaker before a standup, a real question inside a one-on-one, or a prompt that helps onboarding and culture-fit conversations land. Every question is built specifically for the workplace, avoiding personal or awkward territory that does not belong in a professional setting.

What You'll Learn

Open one-on-one meetings with questions that build real trust, not surface-level small talk.
Use icebreakers that fit a professional setting without feeling forced.
Support onboarding and culture-fit conversations with structured prompts.

All prompts curated specifically for the workplace, with no personal or off-limits topics.
Durable, matte-laminated 2.5 x 3.5 inch cards built for repeated use.
Useful across one-on-one meetings, retrospectives, onboarding and team offsites.

Iyagi is a Korean word that carries three meanings at once: a story, a conversation, and the time spent sharing both. The brand builds conversation tools specifically for the workplace, designed for the meetings managers and teams actually run.
