I was lucky to have been joined by a CBS alumnus, who has asked to remain anonymous for this interview. They have joined me for a chat about wellbeing, and to try out the dialogue cards.
We opted for the cards on colleagueship. The interviewee has recently started a new job upon graduating from Copenhagen Business School and shares some reflection from their new job. This gives both of us the opportunity to share our thoughts on wellbeing and colleagueship at the workplace.

The dialogue card consists of three parts: The first part reads out a statement, and each participant chooses which answer(s) they prefer. The participants can also opt to not choose any of the answers. The second part reads out three different statements, and each player must place their gaming piece on a number between 1 and 5; if the piece is placed on 1, it means they don’t recognize the statement at all, and if it is place on 5, it means they recognize the statement and can relate strongly to it. The last set of cards consist of an open round of questions, which opened for reflection and new conversations on the topic of wellbeing.
The interviewee and I agreed on many of the statements, such as the one about how to approach someone who might need help with something. It was agreed that it all came down to the individual, the situation, and the environment of the workplace. While it may be necessary to reach out in some cases, it might be better to stay away in other cases. It is all about reading the room in the different situations. Although the interviewee works at a workplace, where it might be difficult to incorporate the dialogue cards, they certainly agreed on that they are a useful tool for many other workplaces in general.
