ABOUT THE MAKER

IRA SAHAI

Founder of Quirkwise and Creator of The Mirror Deck

------------------------------------------

Ira brings experience across corporate leadership, the impact sector, coaching, psychodrama, transactional analysis, and expressive arts.

Her work focuses on helping people understand their experiences, recognize patterns, and create meaningful change. The Mirror Deck grew from this approach, using images, roles, and reflective prompts to uncover insights that direct questions may not reveal.

Metaphor Cards for Coaching, Facilitation, and Leadership Work

A premium coaching card deck for practitioners who work with reflection, behaviour, roles, and group dynamics. Each card gives people a visual way to enter the conversation when direct questions are not enough.

Why the Mirror Deck Exists

I created the Mirror Deck because I kept seeing the same thing across very different rooms.
People often know more than they can explain.
A leader may know something is not working but may not know how to name their part in it. A team may sense a pattern but avoid saying it directly.
A card creates distance from the issue — making the conversation safer, clearer, and more useful.
The Mirror Deck was built for practitioners who want to work with that kind of conversation.

Why Choose Mirror Deck

A Metaphor Card Deck for Coaches, Facilitators, and Reflective Practitioners

The Mirror Deck is a set of 64 illustrated metaphor cards designed for coaching, facilitation, leadership development, and reflective practice.

Each card combines an image, a role, and three reflection prompts to help people notice patterns that may be active in a conversation but have not yet been clearly named.

In coaching, the cards give clients something concrete to respond to. In facilitation, they help groups move from general discussion to specific recognition. In leadership development, they encourage people to explore how they show up—not just what they know.

This is not a deck of affirmations or generic prompt cards. It is a practical coaching and facilitation tool for working with behaviour, conflict, transition, and change.

The deck is designed for coaches, facilitators, L&D leaders, organisational consultants, and reflective practitioners who need a grounded way to work with complex conversations.

CREATES DISTANCE

Helps people explore challenges objectively through visual metaphors.

GIVES LANGUAGE

Makes complex thoughts and feelings easier to express.

DEEPENS REFLECTION

Encourages meaningful insight beyond direct questioning.

SUPPORTS COACHING

Useful for coaching, workshops, facilitation.

WHY IMAGES HELP

Reflection begins with an image, not with the right answer.

Images create a safe starting point for conversations, helping people explore thoughts and emotions without feeling judged or pressured.
A direct question is useful, but it is not always the best place to begin. Sometimes a person does not yet have the words. Sometimes a team is too close to the issue. Sometimes the same explanation has been repeated so often that it no longer opens anything new. A visual card gives the conversation another starting point. Mirror Deck helps people explore patterns without turning the conversation into a diagnosis, a performance review, or a debate.

WHAT PRACTITIONERS SAY

Voices from the Field

Used across coaching sessions, leadership programs, team workshops, and self-reflection practices by professionals across India and beyond.

The Mirror Deck is beautifully and powerfully designed, creating a space for deep learning and self-reflection. I'm continually astounded by how the deck acts as a catalyst for meaningful revelations, helping to uncover insights that might otherwise remain hidden. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool across a wide range of client contexts, consistently prompting profound and thought-provoking discoveries.

Educational Transactional Analyst | Founder – Encountering Education

The Mirror Deck helps clients make connections and name things that might otherwise remain hidden. I have used it in different contexts, and each time, the cards have opened reflection and led to discoveries that ordinary questions may not reach.

Suva Chattopadhyay

Partner, Reflexion | Executive Coach

I used the Mirror Deck as a check-in during a leadership workshop and saw the conversation shift. One participant recognised how he had become a block to his team's execution. Another identified the gap between the team's intentions and its actions. The cards helped both participants see and say what had been difficult to articulate. It is more than a deck of prompts. It is an insight-generating machine.

MCC | ACTC | Global Executive Leadership Coach

The image reached me before the words did. The questions helped me see my family not as a puzzle waiting to be solved, but as a tapestry still being woven. The Mirror Deck invites discovery and helps us listen to what is already trying to emerge. I can see myself returning to it in conversations, groups and moments of reflection.

Effective date: 20 September 2026

This policy applies to physical products purchased directly from The Mirror Deck website. It explains when a return, replacement or refund is available and how to request one. Purchases made through another retailer or marketplace are handled under that seller's policy, without limiting any rights available under applicable law.

1. When a return or refund is available

You may request a return, replacement or refund if:

the product arrives damaged or defective, including a crushed box, torn cards, missing cards or material printing errors;
you receive the wrong product or the order is incomplete;
the product is materially different from the description or images shown on our website;
the product is counterfeit, spurious or otherwise not genuine;
the shipment is confirmed as lost in transit; or
delivery takes place after the stated delivery date, except where the delay results from an event that legally qualifies as force majeure.

We do not normally accept returns because you changed your mind, no longer need the product or selected the wrong item. We also do not cover damage caused after delivery through misuse, improper storage, unauthorised alteration or ordinary wear. Minor variations in colour or finish caused by screen settings or normal print production are not defects unless they materially affect the product or differ substantially from its description.

2. Reporting a problem

Please report visible transit damage, an incorrect product or an incomplete order within 48 hours of delivery. This helps us raise a timely claim with the delivery partner. If you contact us later, we will still assess the request fairly and in accordance with applicable consumer law.

Defects that were not reasonably visible on delivery should be reported promptly after they are discovered.

Submit the request through the Contact Us page on our website and include, where relevant:

your order or invoice number;
the name and contact details used for the order;
the delivery date and a clear description of the problem;
photographs of the product, outer packaging and shipping label; and
a short video if it helps show the issue.

An unboxing video is helpful but is not mandatory. We will not reject an otherwise valid claim only because an unboxing video is unavailable. Please keep the product and its packaging until we confirm whether they need to be returned. Do not send the product back before receiving return instructions.

3. Review and outcome

We will acknowledge your request within 48 hours. Once we have the information reasonably needed to assess it, we aim to communicate our decision within seven business days. We may ask for additional photographs, order information or other reasonable evidence where necessary.

If the request is accepted, we will offer an appropriate remedy, which may include:

a replacement at no additional cost;
a full refund for the affected product; or
a partial refund, but only where you agree that it is an appropriate resolution.

Where a replacement is unavailable, we will provide a refund. If we reject a request, we will communicate the decision in writing and explain the reason.

4. Returning an eligible product

If an approved claim requires the product to be returned, we will provide return instructions and arrange or reimburse reasonable return shipping. The customer will not be charged return shipping for a damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete or materially misdescribed product. Please return the product with all components supplied with it, where reasonably possible. Missing original packaging will not by itself invalidate a genuine claim.

5. Lost or delayed shipments

If tracking shows no delivery or you believe the shipment has been lost, contact us through the Contact Us page. We will check the shipment with the courier and keep you informed. Once the shipment is confirmed as lost, we will offer a replacement or refund.

If an order is delivered after the delivery date stated at purchase, please contact us. We will assess the delay and the remedy available under applicable law, including whether you had agreed to accept a later delivery date.

6. Refunds

An approved full refund will cover the amount paid for the affected product, including any shipping charge attributable to that product. Discounts applied to the order will be reflected in the refund amount.

We will initiate the refund to the original payment method within seven business days after approval or, where a return is required, after the returned product is received or collected. Your bank or payment provider may require additional time to credit the amount. We will email you when the refund has been initiated.

7. Complaints and grievance support

Return and refund requests can be submitted through the Contact Us page. You will receive an acknowledgement and a complaint reference or copy of the request. We will acknowledge consumer complaints within 48 hours and seek to resolve them within one month of receipt. The name, designation and contact details of our Grievance Officer are available on the Contact Us page.

If you remain dissatisfied, you may use the remedies available under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including the National Consumer Helpline.

8. Your consumer rights

Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts or replaces any right or remedy available to you under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, or any other applicable law. If this policy conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the legal requirement will apply.
