The ECD Reaches Japan via GLOBIS University Graduate School of Management.

We're excited to see that The Emotional Culture Deck is making an impact in Japan! Last May, Leo Castillo, one of our ECD Certified Consultants, ran an ECD session titled “Communications and the Power of Emotions” for the Graduate School Global team at GLOBIS University Graduate School of Management. This is particularly special as GLOBIS is Japan’s largest MBA school and Leo's alma mater.

The team at GLOBIS faced challenges in cross-collaboration, which led to misunderstandings, decreased morale, and reduced performance and engagement. Recognising the need for a shift, they turned to The ECD to help craft their emotional culture.

Laying the Foundation for Emotional Culture

During the workshop, Leo guided the team in laying the foundation for the emotional culture they aspired to cultivate. As an internationally diverse group, they recognised the importance of a team where each member felt UNIQUE, OPEN-MINDED, and CONNECTED. These values were essential to support the growth of each team member, their organisation, and their students in the MBA program.

One of the participants shared their gratitude, saying, "Thank you Leo for doing this inspiring and engaging session for the English MBA division. We could openly discuss our emotions and build a more psychologically safe environment for all of us."

Continued Commitment and Support

The GLOBIS team has continued to work on their emotional culture since the workshop. They are in ongoing conversations with Leo to explore further support, reinforcing the idea that emotions are a universal language. No matter where you are in the world, understanding and harnessing emotions can lead to profound positive changes in any organisation.

Universal Language of Emotions

Leo's work with GLOBIS exemplifies how The Emotional Culture Deck can bridge cultural and communication gaps, fostering a more connected and effective team environment. We are thrilled to see the global reach of The ECD and its ability to create meaningful change.
