In 2002 Lance Secretan created\u00a0<\/span>Spirit@Work\u00ae Cards and Book<\/span><\/a>. It consists of 77 cards, each containing a word representing the values and ideals of his world-renowned <\/span>Higher Ground Leadership\u00ae<\/span><\/a>\u00a0philosophy. It also includes a book with 77 chapters matching and describing each of the cards, the words, and their meaning, as well as a poem written by <\/span>Marie Knapp<\/span><\/a> for each card, every one beautifully illustrated by\u00a0<\/span>David Rankine<\/span><\/a>. The first version was a huge hit so we created a second-generation version which was met with even greater success.<\/span><\/p>\n

We then created a free mobile app (available from the\u00a0<\/span>Google Play Store<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>iTunes store<\/span><\/a>). The app has been so successful, it has been rebuilt three times. When the user shakes the phone, the deck is shuffled and a random card appears. By tapping the reverse of the card, a limited text description of the chosen card is revealed. The\u00a0<\/span>Spirit@Work<\/span><\/a>\u00ae Cards mobile app is used in our weekly \u201c<\/span>Inspiration in the Cloud\u201d<\/span><\/a> zoom meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inspiration in the Cloud<\/h3>\n

    We have also created a sumptuous multimedia experience which includes a deep-dive, 2-3 minute, mini-seminar, for each of the words, including video, music, humor, famous quotes and Lance Secretan\u2019s take on the meaning and implication of each word, delivered in his trademark, award-winning style (<\/span>www.secretan.com\/inspiration-cloud<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Groups of participants join a zoom call, and one participant shakes their phone and chooses a card on their mobile app. Lance Secretan then shares his screen, which reveals the same card chosen, enabling him to share the teaching and the visuals that go with the chosen card.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The person who chose the card may ask, \u201cWhat does that card mean for me?\u201d, or, \u201cAm I able to practice this value day-to-day?\u201d, \u201cDoes my leader practice this value?\u201d, or, \u201cCan I support others to grow their practice of this value?\u201d, or, \u201cPlease share a great example of someone practicing, and living, this value\u201d, etc. Other participants are then invited to share their experience with that card and its value.<\/span> As a result, rich and inspiring conversations quickly gather momentum.<\/span><\/i> Everyone participates in sharing and learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Effectively, this is improv. It turns the traditional method of teaching upside down, where an expert \u201ctalking head\u201d shares their knowledge with participants in a one-way communication. In this case, it\u2019s the opposite\u2014the agenda is controlled by the participants who take the conversation in the direction of the card chosen, while sharing the wisdom that lies innately within them. It is a \u201cSocratic\u201d methodology. The natural wisdom within participants is always inspiring, and the speed at which topics of significant meaning are covered, enables a deep connection among participants. Sometimes we will discuss many cards, and on other occasions, only one. This all depends on the energy of the group, and the skill and intuition of the facilitator about where the conversation should be guided. But wherever the conversation goes, the essential element is <\/span>inspiration<\/b>. <\/span>The goal, every time, is for everyone to leave the conversation more inspired than when they arrived<\/span><\/i>, and also to gain some useful ideas about how they can live more inspired lives and how they can be more inspiring for others.<\/span><\/p>\n
