Testimonials 

“I carry my Climer Cards with me whenever I am presenting a workshop. They are the perfect companion for a facilitator. I use the cards to help engage those students who have hung back during discussions or to switch up the debrief process. I am amazed at the insights and answers students will give even from the simplest of processing as "Pick a card that represents the day." Even at a basic level these cards deliver great results but the potential for engaging discussions goes far beyond that. If you are a serious facilitator, these are a must have.”

Nick Palkowski, speaker, trainer, author

“I was able to use Climer Cards to process a series of conversations I had with community members in an emerging community. After numerous meetings the citizens were asked to pick a card that was reflective of how they might feel about their community now. The responses were overwhelming. Some related to the “light bulb” as they felt there were new ideas and energy created, while another related to the swimming school of fish and stated “I feel like we are all headed in the right direction together”. These cards are a great processing tool for both formal and informal processing.”
