Mediation Essentials
✅ 60 cards of practical mediation moves, from first session to follow-up
✅ Learn which move fits the moment and when to hold back
✅ Real dialogue examples, plus the watch-out that makes each one backfire
What is the Mediation Essentials Card Deck?
A deck of 60 mediation cards organized into 8 groups, from ground rules to reframing to closing an agreement.
Each card gives you one move for one moment at the table, not a certification course to sit through.
Is this a game?
No, the Mediation Essentials Deck is not a game! It's as easy to pick up as one, but every card is a real move you can use in a live session, not a rule or a challenge.
How does the card deck help me?
It hands you a specific move for the exact moment the room stalls, instead of general advice you have to figure out how to apply yourself. Pull a card, read it in ten seconds, use it.
How can I use it
1. Before a session, draw two or three cards and pick what fits the case.
2. During the conversation, return to the deck when the room goes quiet or hot.
3. Use one technique at a time. Don't run three moves in one session.

I am new to marketing. Thanks to insightdecks, I can grasp to marketing concepts on-the-go, wherever. One thing I enjoy about the decks is, it provides clear action plans for every concept.

I like to use them for my own personal development :).
Would definitely buy other decks.

Thank you for the card. My boss shared his selected card with the other leaders and provided a brief insight. Everyone is now sharing their reflections.

Great deck. Very useful for me, who is AuDHD. The cards are made of great paper, not too thick but not too thin, either. I think I will buy more decks in the future.

The brainstorm deck arrived along with an ice storm. I was delighted that when the power went out in my area my project was able to kick into high gear.

The cards are better than I expected. Very useful in therapy work!

I love seeing my decks every morning, just to remind myself the state of my emotions, as well as what I am wanting to achieve (emotionally). I would love to buy more decks on marketing, and other professional development.

Neutrality Isn't the Hard Part 😬
You stayed neutral. Then one side said "you never respect deadlines" and the other one shut down, and the room went quiet. This deck skips the theory and hands you the sentence that turns that attack back into an issue.
Built for the Stall 🧭
Eight groups named after the decisions that actually stall the work: framing the issue, power imbalance, buy-in.
If a technique needed a calm room and two reasonable people, it didn't make the deck.
What people say about us ❤️
Third deck from this shop. They keep being useful, which is more than I can say for most desk objects.
I use them alone, mostly in the evening before bed.
Bought two for my team and one for myself. The team ones get used more.
The digital file is fine but I much prefer the physical cards. Wish the download had been easier to organize on my tablet. Still worth it.
I keep a deck in my client bag. Handing someone a card lands better than quoting a framework at them.
Gave one as a gift, then bought two more for myself.
Started with one deck out of curiosity. Now there is a small stack on my shelf and I still reach for them.
Practical without being preachy. That is rare in this category and it is why I bought a second one.
Good for reading five minutes a day. I do not use every card, but the ones I use I use often.
