“Poker is the perfect training ground for business and life–it’s about knowing when to take a risk, when to hold back, and how to read subtle cues from those around you,” says Jo, “Aces High isn’t just about learning the game–it’s about breaking down barriers, boosting confidence, and helping teams collaborate more effectively, all while having a great time.”

With interactive sessions designed for companies and teams, Aces High provides a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate training, helping professionals build resilience, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills in a setting that’s engaging, inclusive, and–most importantly–fun.
