You're three minutes into a one-to-one. Your team member gives you the polite smile and says, "Everything's fine." But they won't make eye contact. Their arms are crossed. You know they're holding something back. An idea that could save the project. Or a problem that could derail everything if it’s left unsaid. But the moment passes before you can reach it.
Or picture this: You're opening a workshop. Ten faces on screen, blank and silent. You start your intro, but no one responds. A few people glance down at their phones. One camera clicks off. The awkward pause hangs there. You’ve lost them before you’ve even begun.
These aren't the leadership moments that make it into Harvard Business Review. But they’re the ones your reputation quietly gets built on.
They decide whether people trust you with their real problems. Whether they contribute their best ideas or keep them to themselves. Whether you walk away with genuine progress or just another box ticked.
Here's what most leaders don't realise - it takes just two types of conversations unlock trust, surface problems early, and bring out your team’s best ideas.
The group session that breaks the ice, builds psychological safety, and gets people contributing from minute one. Get this wrong, and you're fighting uphill for the next hour.
The one-to-one where trust deepens, truth surfaces, and real growth happens. Nail this, and problems reach you while they're still manageable. People start bringing you their ambitions, not just their status updates.
Master these two conversations, and everything changes. Not just your meetings... your entire leadership trajectory. The promotions that come because people trust you with the big decisions. The salary increases because you're known for getting results through people. The career security that comes from being indispensable in the right way.
The problem is, most of us wing it. We use the same tired openers. Ask the predictable questions. Hope something good happens. And when it doesn't, we tell ourselves it's just how meetings go.
But what if you had the right question ready before you needed it?
Why Great Leadership Comes Down to Communication
When people feel safe from the start and heard when it counts, they stop holding back and start stepping up.
Your "everything's fine" team member starts sharing the real bottleneck. The guarded stakeholder opens up about what actually matters to them. The project review that goes nowhere suddenly ends with clear next steps and ownership.
When you consistently nail these moments, you stop being the manager who runs meetings. You become the leader people actively want in the room when something important is happening. That reputation creates influence before you have the title, security before the next restructure, opportunities that come to you instead of the other way around.
Introducing: Pip Packs
Pip Packs are something completely different from our step-by-step workshop decks. These are pure inspiration packs—250 human-crafted prompts designed to give you confidence walking into any conversation.
Icebreakers for leaders who need to build connection with their teams, fast.
One-to-Ones for the private moments where you uncover the secret problems and blockers that quietly kill the productivity of a team.
Every single prompt was written by experienced facilitators and coaches, then tested in real sessions with real teams. We kept what worked.
This isn't some AI-generated list of generic questions. It's a curated collection built by humans who've sat in your chair, felt that awkward silence, and figured out how to turn it around.
Inside the Packs
Icebreakers contains 250 proven conversation starters that work whether you're facing a room full of strangers or getting a team to open up about a sensitive topic. These aren't just "what's your favorite movie" questions—they're designed to create the specific kind of connection that makes everything else possible.
One-to-Ones gives you 250 prompts that go beyond task updates into the conversations that actually matter. Questions that reveal what's really blocking progress. That help people articulate their career ambitions. That turn routine check-ins into the meetings people look forward to.
Both live in the Pip Decks Web App, accessible from any device. No downloads. No setup. Just open and go, whether you're preparing five minutes before the call or need to pivot mid-conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access the Pip Packs?
You can access your Pip Packs straight after purchase (we'll send you an email). If you've already bought your digital decks, head to app.pipdecks.com to login.
How are Pip Packs different to Pip Decks?
Pip Packs are designed to spark inspiration.
A Pip Deck like Storyteller Tactics gives you 54 in-depth tactics across a broad subject.
While our new Pip Packs give you up to 500 prompts and inspirations on two specific situations - running icebreakers and one-to-ones.
Will there be a physical release?
Yes, there will be a limited-edition release of the physical packs in 2026.
Owners of the digital packs will automatically be added to the private waiting list for the limited-edition physical version of these decks at a reduced rate, coming in 2026.
Why can't I just use AI for icebreakers and one-to-one questions?
You can use AI, and it might give you something... usable.
But communication isn’t mechanical. It’s emotional, messy, and deeply human.
AI can’t see the flicker of doubt behind a smile. It doesn’t feel the weight of a silent room or sense when trust is fraying. It doesn’t know your team, your culture, your context, or what’s at stake if the conversation goes sideways.
These packs were crafted by humans, for humans. Every question was written, tested, reworked, and refined by real people who understand the tension of awkward moments, the risk of saying the wrong thing, and the power of saying the right one.
They’ve been illustrated by hand. Edited with intent. And built to be used in the messy, unpredictable, high-stakes world of real work with real people.
