Pick a deck.
Five pre-formed Selections to begin. Build your own from the library. Over 100 plates, research-validated to generate rich conversation.
Fig. 1 · The third thing
The image holds what the group cannot yet name.
It functions as a transitional object, neither self nor other. It absorbs what participants need to put somewhere. The image lets people speak about authority, dependency, grief, or exclusion through the image rather than at each other directly.
Two lineages anchor the work: image-based facilitation and the 4MAT learning cycle. Practitioners design sessions using one, the other, or both.
Pick a deck. Run a session. Debrief together.
Run a session.
Customize how participants engage, pick from a grid or draw from a pile. Share a link. Holds across 1:1 coaching, team workshops, and beyond.
Debrief · Aggregate
Debrief together (or not).
The picks become the conversation. Share from your own devices or view together in one frame. Explore individual perspectives, dialogue between people, or what's happening across the group.
Find the door that fits your practice.
1:1 →
For coaches and consultants working one-to-one. A shared image creates space the conversation can occupy.
Workshops →
For facilitators of group work, teams, and workshops. What the room wants to say is explored through a medium beyond words.
Educators →
For educators and learning designers. Supplements right-brained thinking for 4MAT or experiential learning journeys.
Leaders →
For leaders running offsites, retreats, and team work. Shared imagery does what slides can't.
Built by a practitioner.
Aperture is curated by John Weng, PhD · ICF PCC · group relations practitioner in the Tavistock tradition. The deck grows out of his practice, not adjacent to it. Every image clears a rigorous research validation process before it makes the deck.
Made for any practitioner.
The depth is the source, not the requirement. The same deck holds for a leader running a team offsite as it does for a Tavistock-trained consultant working a group relations event. Accessible and rigorous, by construction.
