Deep Speak: The world according to you

Have you experienced the transformational power of the right question at the right time? Questions can change people’s lives.

The Deep Speak cards invite us to explore some of life’s big questions—who we are, what we value, how we define ourselves, what we believe and who is important to us. The benefits of Deep Speak are considerable. When we listen to and hear young people, we empower them and build confidence in who they are.

These cards have been created specifically with young people’s issues in mind, including questions about relationships, identity, emotions, beliefs and values. Plus, a series of opener questions are provided to break the ice and stimulate conversation. A common complaint from young people is that adults do not listen to them. Deep Speak is a resource specifically designed to facilitate energetic conversations and encourage young people to open up and be heard.

Deep Speak consists of 120 beautifully-designed question cards. In addition and a booklet full of activities and ideas to help users get the most out of the set and engage in meaningful conversations with participants.

This revised second edition includes over 20 new questions plus lots of additional ideas for activities.

Deep Speak is ideal for:

• teachers
• counsellors
• psychologists
• social workers
• parents

…and anyone who wants to have meaningful, explorative conversations with young people and adults.

Each card pack comes with free access to an online toolbox of extras. The Digital Toolbox includes:

• a digital version of the booklet.
• access to a digital set of the cards that you can download and use anywhere, anytime.

"I have recently added the Deep Speak cards to my workshops to practise listening. In this exercise listeners are allowed to speak by affirming what has been said or asking a relevant question, but they are not to hijack the speaker’s story with their own. This activity allows for two-way communication: acknowledging and questioning—without interrupting.  I asked people to choose a question that they were comfortable to speak to for one minute. At the end of the activity each person read out to the group the question they had chosen. By the curious looks on people’s faces, I could tell there were many more conversations to be had!"
