What if the key to stronger teams, more effective leadership, and breakthrough innovation was hidden in a deck of cards?
In this episode, Stephen Shapiro takes you inside the world of Personality Poker®, a game that’s been played by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide—from boardrooms in Copenhagen to Fortune 500 companies everywhere. Through laughter and card trading, participants uncover deep insights about their innovation personality and the balance (or imbalance) on their teams.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
The Four Suits of Innovation:
♠️ Spades – analytical, data-driven, “why” thinkers.
♣️ Clubs – structured, results-focused, “how” implementers.
♥️ Hearts – empathetic, relationship-driven, “who” connectors.
♦️ Diamonds – adventurous, creative, “what if” idea generators.
Energy Styles (Numbers): Why introverted “inward” cards and extroverted “outward” cards shape how you show up—and how leaders often emerge from the “high cards.”
Thinking Styles (Colors): Black = rational “dot” thinkers, Red = relational “line” thinkers—and why innovation happens at the connections between the dots.
The Big Insight: The person you like the least is often the person you need the most. Your missing or opposite suit might drive you crazy, but they also bring the traits your team lacks.
The Intersections: Why most people don’t fit neatly in one box, and how combinations like Thinkers, Directors, Influencers, and Builders create powerful team dynamics.
This isn’t about putting people in boxes—it’s about sparking conversations, building awareness, and intentionally designing teams that balance creativity, execution, relationships, and results.
Whether you’re leading a global company or collaborating with a small team, Personality Poker will help you see yourself more clearly and work more effectively with others.
