Have you ever had the experience where a client you are meant to be helping, becomes stuck, and is reluctant to talk about an issue? They want your help, but can't put it into words.

Have you ever wished you had someone to help you sort out a challenge, but thought - "I should be able to do it myself"? While you are busy helping others, your own issues lie ignored in the background. You think that, because your job is to help others, you ought to be able to sort it out yourself.

Do you want to bring some play and laughter into your sessions, to help your clients relax and open-up more? The beginning of a session is usually quite awkward. Learn how you can quickly break the ice with people of all ages and background.

Workshop Overview

This workshop is presented by Rory O'Connor inventor of Rory's Story Cubes™ and the Inner Vision Deck™. In this  one day workshop you will gain the experience to confidently use these simple, playful yet powerful tools to reach a level of insight and trust with your clients, not normally experienced through ordinary dialogue.

By learning how to use these two creative tools in your sessions you will empower your clients to better help themselves. By teaching your own clients how to use Rory's Story Cubes and the Inner Vision Deck, you will discover that your clients will be more willing to do 'homework', knowing that they have the tools to help themselves.

As a result of the workshop and using these tools, you will find that...

  • Your sessions become easier on you, as your client does more of the work;
  • You clients will have more buy-in to the solutions they discover for themselves;
  • Your listening skills will improve, as you no longer have to listen & solve at the same time;
  • Your level of self-awareness will increase with each use of the tools;
  • Your client relationships will move to a deeper level as your clients become more willing to reveal themselves;

What People Are Saying

The Inner Vision Deck was awarded Five Stars by InnovationTools.com

"The guy is a genius. If I could have [Rory's] brain, that would be my 1st success!!"
- Anonymous response to Workshop Survey conducted by University of Ulster

"As a person reliant on my 'Inner Knowing' I find the Inner Vision Deck™ a useful link-in to my intuitions. The card selection helps me to bring focus to what is up for me and to gain clarification or confirmation on the way forward. The deck can be used as a quick reference tool or alternatively...it can be used as a more methodical 'search engine' type tool that allows me to connect with insights on issues or questions for which I am seeking answers. The Inner Vision Deck is a big bang for your buck!" - Tom K

"I am getting so much from [your workshops] both on a personal and a business level. I'm gaining tools to work with both in my coaching and in my personal life. The group interaction is great and the workshops are thought provoking and supportive. I feel this course is both an eye opener and an asset to my creativity. Your passion for working in this way certainly comes across very strongly and I, as a participant, reap the benefits. Learning through play and experience is the best way for me." - Mary Power, Empower Coaching

"What stands out for me now is how excited I felt about finding two locally-produced tools...which can help circumvent blocks in the coaching process.  Coming to that pass, i.e. the client being over-rational or controlling or inclined to disable the helper (even one that 's costing money) is a major challenge in our line of work, I think." -Emer McDermott, ReNua Coaching
