Conduire sa Vie

Conduire sa Vie - road signs as metaphors for life situations

A red traffic sign can mean more than a stop light. In this card set by Céline Caze, traffic symbols stand for personal patterns, obstacles and choices of direction. It is a set you can use alone or in a group, based on principles of nonviolent communication and collective intelligence.

Céline Caze developed Conduire sa Vie as a working tool for coaches and trainers, but also for people looking for a playful way to reflect on their life situations. The cards work with images everyone knows: yield signs, stop signals, detours, one-way streets.

How it works

The set offers different game formats. You can draw a card as a starting point for conversation, use a series of cards to map out a situation, or play cooperatively in a group. The guidebook describes each card and explains how to translate the symbolism into concrete life questions.

The metaphors are deliberately simple. A stop sign refers to a boundary, a detour sign to an alternative route. That directness makes the set suitable for different settings, from team development to individual reflection.

Draw a card at the start of a coaching session and ask: which road sign stands for you right now? It opens a conversation without requiring you to immediately name private matters.

Who this works for

Conduire sa Vie is designed for professionals in coaching and guidance, but the accessible symbolism makes it usable for anyone. You do not need experience with cards or coaching to work with it. The guidebook is full of examples and practical game formats.

Please note: the cards and the guidebook are entirely in French.
