ZERA FAQ
General Questions
What is the ZERA Card Game?
A: ZERA is a deck of 150 cards inspired by African proverbs and rooted in the 5 pillars of Emotional Intelligence — Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Empathy, Motivation, and Social Skills. Each card includes a proverb, a reflection, and a practical step. It’s designed for play, conversation, and growth.
Who is ZERA for?
A: Anyone who wants to grow in Emotional Intelligence while connecting with culture and community. Parents, educators, therapists, youth workers, leaders, and families all use ZERA — from classrooms to boardrooms, from dinner tables to healing circles.
How much does the ZERA Card Game cost?
A: $95 per box. Each box is beautifully designed and built to last for years of use.

Do you travel to workshops?
A: Yes. Wisdom travels. We can bring ZERA into schools, companies, or community centers locally and nationally. Travel costs are factored into proposals. Virtual sessions are also available worldwide.
Can I combine coaching with workshops?

Custom Programs

A: Corporate training includes interactive facilitation, ZERA-based exercises, reflection activities, and leadership tools. We co-create the curriculum to match your workplace goals — from team communication to conflict resolution.
Do you create programs for schools or youth groups?
A: Yes. ZERA was born to empower the next generation. We run youth leadership labs, after-school programs, and intergenerational circles. Each program is tailored to age group, setting, and cultural context.
Can faith-based or cultural groups use ZERA?
A: Yes. ZERA works beautifully in churches, mosques, cultural centers, and community spaces. The wisdom of African proverbs speaks across traditions.
Practical & Usage
Can children use the ZERA Card Game?
A: Yes. The game is designed for intergenerational use. Educators and parents use ZERA to spark meaningful conversations with children as young as 8 years old.
How do I use the cards?
A: Simply draw a card, reflect on the proverb, and answer the guiding question. You can play solo (journaling), in pairs (conversation), or in groups (circle discussions). Each card includes a practical step you can apply within 24 hours.
How many people can play at once?
A: There’s no limit. ZERA works for one person or a room of 100. The key is conversation and reflection, not competition.
Do you provide facilitator guides?
A: Yes. We have resource packs for educators, therapists, and community leaders. These include lesson plans, exercises, and printable worksheets.
Transformation & Impact
What kind of transformation can I expect from ZERA?
A: Participants often report greater self-awareness, more empathy in relationships, stronger conflict resolution skills, and a renewed sense of cultural pride. ZERA helps people reflect deeply and act differently — one small step at a time.
How is ZERA different from other EI tools?
A: Most EI tools are clinical or corporate in tone. ZERA is rooted in African wisdom, storytelling, and play. It brings warmth, culture, and community into the learning process, making Emotional Intelligence both accessible and meaningful.
Is ZERA evidence-based?
A: Yes. ZERA is built on Emotional Intelligence research (the five core pillars) and informed by cultural psychology. It combines evidence-based practice with the wisdom of African proverbs for a unique, holistic approach.
