— and the story behind the tool
- by Jeremy, R&E Founder

Whether you're starting a new role, leaving a job, welcoming a child, navigating a restructure, or facing something you didn't expect — transitions are emotional.

You're not who you were. But you're not yet who you're becoming.

That in-between space is uncomfortable. And most of us try to rush through it, suppressing or ignoring the emotions, and instead focus on the rational side of change: logistics, plans, process.

All the while, our emotional response dictates how we actually navigate the shift.

Where this tool came from

My wife Becky and I struggled for four years with infertility. We eventually had our first baby, Izzy, on our third & last round of IVF.

We went from the despair of thinking we would never have children — to having three babies under 2.5 years old.

I designed the ECD Transitions Handbook to help Becky and myself navigate these life-changing transitions we went through over that period.

It's incre...

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our ECD Emotional Change Strategy Course, the first of three brand new, next-generation ECD Specialist Courses set to be released over the next nine months. This course marks a new chapter in emotional culture design, offering a completely new approach to helping leaders and teams manage change by recognising and shaping the emotions at play – for themselves and the people they serve.

Why Emotional Change Strategy?

Change is inevitable in every organisation, but how we manage the emotional impact of change can make all the difference. Whether it’s a shift in leadership, restructuring, or navigating an evolving marketplace, the way people feel about change has a direct impact on its success. The ECD Emotional Change Strategy Course equips leaders with the tools and insights they need to guide their teams through the emotional landscape of change, ensuring that transitions are not only smoother but more meaningful.
