Event description
THE EMOTIONAL CULTURE DECK
Emotional Leadership Workshop
For Leaders who care about humanising the workplace. This half-day event is a must-have addition to your leadership development toolkit. Implement what you learn straight away, literally 'out of the box'. Come and have a play!
Come learn the most valuable skills, behaviours and more that leaders need to succeed.
Transform the way you:
- Lead yourself
- Lead your teams
- Lead your stakeholders & clients
So many of us don’t have the tools to support the lasting changes we seek in our organisations or with our clients. We’re looking for simpler and more impactful ways to connect with our people and shape the behaviour of our teams.
***
Level up your leadership skills and embrace emotions at work through The Emotional Leadership Workshop, where you'll learn practical and interactive ways to use The Emotional Culture Deck and gain the confidence to transform your team, stakeholders and customers.
In this interactive and hands-on workshop, you'll experience using The Emotional Culture Deck to transform four key areas:
- Effective team check-ins
- Human-centred leadership
- Leading through change
- Stakeholder relationships
You’ll be posed a bunch of 'beautiful questions' to explore these areas and use The ECD as a tool to navigate these questions.
It’s a ‘sandpit environment’ where you come along, get your hands on the deck and experiment and learn together.
This half-day event is a must-have addition to your leadership development toolkit that you can use straight away and literally 'out of the box'.
Get in quick. Only 20 spots available.

Better workplace culture starts with emotion.
Most organisations underestimate the influence emotion has on their culture and leadership. But as a leader, you know that when engagement and morale improve, so do productivity and employee retention. The Emotional Culture Deck adds a powerful tool to your belt for enabling human conversations and bottom-up culture change.
Increase engagement and morale
The emotional culture of an organisation influences employee satisfaction, wellbeing, burnout, teamwork, and even hard measures such as financial performance and absenteeism. But organisations (and leaders) often don’t talk about emotion. Many lack confidence in their relational skills.
Have the right tools on hand to help your organisation thrive
The Emotional Culture deck helps you flip leadership and culture conversations. It’s a simple card game toolkit that helps leaders uncover what truly motivates their people, and map desired team culture. As empathy, connections, and trust develop, results go up - and your people advice proves its value yet again.
Drive human conversations about what really matters in the workplace
Traditional leadership development is broken and doesn’t work because it either neglects or glosses over the crucial element of human motivation – emotion. The ECD flips traditional leadership development and training on its head.
The ECD Emotional Leadership workshop is:
- An introduction for leaders to 'The Emotional Culture Deck'
- Practical, hands-on and interactive learning that will allow you to understand how you can level up your leadership by embracing emotions at work
- A lesson in the four simple ways to use the game as a leader to get you started
- The quickest path to gain the confidence to go and play the game with your team, stakeholders and customers
- A complementary learning experience to the ECD Online Masterclass.
The ECD Emotional Leadership workshop is not:
- Pathway to Certification or Accreditation in The Emotional Culture Deck
- Teaching you how to run ECD team workshops or use the game as part of culture change
- Lecture on the theory of emotional culture
- Not a presentation of case studies (although ECD Certified Consultants share anecdotes and stories throughout the workshop about how they use the ECD and the activities being taught in the workshop).
