Credit Drift Toolkit

For when an idea you started gradually becomes associated with everyone but you. The toolkit has two parts: an Idea Map that follows an idea from the moment you first put it forward through the point where it becomes shared work, flagging where credit is most likely to slip along the way. And a Situation Guide with 10 real scenarios for when drift has already started — what’s actually happening, your options, and the exact wording to reconnect yourself to the work. Built around the pattern named in Square Peg Brief No. 005, with both prevention and recovery covered.

For the moment your thinking is happening quietly and the room reads it as disengagement. Three parts: a Pattern Library that names the mechanics of being misread, a Situation Playbook with 10 real scenarios and ready language, and open Reference Notes to scan anytime. Built around the exact pattern named in Square Peg Brief No. 002 — this is where you go once naming it isn't enough.

Cue Cards Bundle: Work + Social Editions

  • Post author:

50 cards, both editions, for the moments that call for the right words in work and social situations - fast.

Work: what to say when you're interrupted, when you need to disagree with someone senior, how to correct someone without embarrassing them, how to ask for a raise.

Social: starting a conversation with a stranger, escaping one gracefully, forgetting someone's name mid-handshake, the friend who won't stop talking.

Every card: the situation, the mindset, and a line you can actually say — covering communication, meetings, professional presence, leadership, and career moves on the Work side; meeting and mingling, conversation, and everyday interactions on the Social side. Better value than buying the two sets separately.
