Full testimonial transcript
Hi, I'm Eloise.
And I'm a business consultant in the luxury jewellery business industry.
Now, why did I decide to buy the Pip Decks now? I'm sure like few of you, you are hesitating. Like I did wondering if these are going to be useful tools and if they are worth the money, well, I can tell you, they are, at least they are for me.
So I create workshops for clients, but I also run webinars conferences and recently just hosted a gala event last weekend.
And storytelling has been extremely useful and I actually used both. So in a digital format, in a physical format, these are great things to have.
Now we all know that creating a narrative in storytelling is quite instinctive, but having these little cards and helping you through it, is actually in a structured way, very useful.
So I wouldn't trade these for the world and I'm sure these little tools are going to be in my toolbox for years to come.
I even got the beautiful carrier box to have them with me. So if you're hesitating, don't click the button. You won't regret it. They are very well made. Very well thought through. Just do it. Take the plunge. You won't regret it.
Enjoy.
From hesitation to essential tools
Eloise was initially hesitant about whether Pip Decks would be useful tools worth the investment. As a business consultant in the luxury jewellery industry, she needed to be confident that any tools she invested in would deliver real value for her clients.
She quickly discovered that the cards became essential to her work. She used them for workshops, webinars, conferences, and even a recent gala event. The structured approach to storytelling helped her create more engaging and effective sessions.
The luxury consulting challenge
Working in the luxury jewellery industry requires more than just business expertise—it needs compelling storytelling that connects with high-end clients. Eloise found that Workshop Tactics provided the structured approach she needed to create narratives that resonated with her audience.
The cards helped her move from instinctive storytelling to structured, effective communication, improving her ability to deliver impactful workshops and presentations in both digital and physical formats.
What made the difference
Eloise's experience shows how Workshop Tactics solves real problems for consultants and facilitators. The cards provide instant access to proven facilitation techniques, reducing planning time whilst maintaining quality. The structured approach, in particular, helped her create more engaging and effective sessions.
How Eloise uses Workshop Tactics in practice
Eloise plans client sessions by chaining 2–3 tactics for a single outcome: an energiser to warm the room, a mapping exercise to reveal constraints, then a decision tactic to pick a path. For gala‑week schedules, she keeps a short list to hand so she can switch activity style mid‑flight if the audience needs more interaction or more focus. The result is a consistent arc—clarity, momentum, commitment—without heavy slide decks.
