Product Overview

This is the digital toolbox version of Deep Speak.

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

Deep Speak invites us to explore some of life’s big questions. Each of these 120 unique, beautifully-designed cards includes a single question—some of these questions are light-hearted, some are highly personal, some may be confronting or challenging. All of them invite us to reflect on ourselves, our relationships with others and our unique experience of the world.

In this new edition, there are even more questions about the issues and topics that are important to young people and adults alike—the environment, gender diversity, culture, identity, and social issues.

Deep Speak is divided into six suits—openers, identity, relationships, values, emotions & beliefs—allowing you to curate the cards around the topics or themes you’d like to discuss, or the preferences of a group.

An engaging and thought-provoking resource for educators, mental health workers, spiritual care practitioners, youth workers or anyone employed in juvenile justice.

Learning to Listen

‘At the start of my workshops, I invite participants to pick a Deep Speak card they like. They then pair up and take turns speaking for two minutes using the card as a prompt—while the listener simply listens, without interrupting or steering the story.
Later, we repeat the exercise with a twist: listeners can affirm or ask relevant questions, but not hijack the story. This encourages respectful, two-way communication.
To keep things comfortable, I ask participants to choose a question they’re happy to speak to for one minute. While many pick safe topics like “What’s your favourite food?”, others choose deeper questions such as “What responsibilities come with having sex?” or “How do you feel about abortion?” The mix sparks curiosity and genuine interest.
By the end, everyone agrees these activities highlight the value of listening and create a more respectful way to communicate.’

On a Mission to Tweak

Facilitator and life coach Donna McGrory knows the value of inviting participation. “I use Deep Speak for icebreakers all the time. I walk in and say, ‘Pick a card, any card,’ but sharing is optional—willingness is a bonus.”
Her top tip: join the activity. If participants pick a card and share, Donna does too. “It helps me connect with the group,” she says.
