More about Daniel

My background is in International Business, and I hold a Master’s Degree in Finance. I am a certified Cultural Transformation Facilitator, a lecturer at the University of Curaçao, and an experienced board member across multiple NGOs.

Since 2007, I have been deeply involved in World Scouting, currently serving as Chair of the World Scout Committee, where I lead global efforts to empower young people to become active citizens in their communities and beyond through values-based education. I believe real change happens when leaders cultivate emotional awareness, foster trust, and create environments where people feel valued and empowered.

At The ECD, I focus on Emotional Leadership and ECD & Change, helping organizations embed emotional culture into their transformation efforts. Whether guiding C-suite leaders, coaching teams, or shaping culture shifts, my goal is to enable people to lead with authenticity, drive sustainable change, and create lasting impact.

More about Kirsty 

We work from a basis of understanding how our brains work, human behaviour and emotional intelligence to bring this "people focus" to life from a science and research basis. I work with businesses to bring understanding and perspective that shifts the way people interact at work to bring out the best in everyone.

ECD is great for bringing the human experience to the fore, we use it in team building, leadership development, career coaching and supporting change processes. But the adaptability is huge, and can help bring a human lens to pretty much any situation.

I love seeing the lightbulb moments that utilising the ECD can do to give us words to use about how we feel at work, how we want and (don't want) to feel and turn it into something practical for those who may start out more cynical about the value of emotions at work.

I inherently view conflict as a healthy part of the change process, and naturally assist my clients to reframe issues into opportunities. My focus acknowledges our underlying neurobiology, how it shapes conflict, and importantly, how it can be channeled for solution generation.

More about Kristin 

Leading a team of 100, I embedded The Emotional Culture Deck so effectively that it reached three levels within the business unit, transforming how we operated. This approach led to top-tier engagement scores across a large government organisation, with significant improvements in retention, staff development, and career progression seen.

By leveraging curiosity, fun, and FOMO (fear of missing out), I made the ECD a core element of our leadership strategy, empowering leaders to create spaces where people could openly share their feelings and fostering an environment where every voice was heard and valued.

I teach leaders how to embed the ECD through simple, quick, and powerful exercises that they can implement consistently. This creates a learning culture where leaders practice, reflect, and grow. I like to call it ‘nudging leaders to be brave’ and give the ECD a go. The strategies developed through this approach align emotional culture with performance, creating environments where people love being part of the team and can achieve their best.

More about Rebecca 

Whether I’m working with a leadership team or a frontline service team, my workshops and programmes are human, practical, and built to make a lasting impact. Together we explore the emotional culture needed for success and build the behaviours and rituals that bring it to life.

Here’s what I support with:

Team Emotional Culture
Helping teams create connection, clarity, and confidence by understanding the emotions that drive success.

Leadership Development: Guiding leaders to lead with empathy, awareness, and emotional intelligence so they can build trust and inspire their teams.

More about Nike 

I help organisations grow more confident leaders, emotionally connected teams, and cultures people want to be part of. My work blends coaching, facilitation, and practical tools like The Emotional Culture Deck to spark real conversations that build trust, strengthen relationships, and shift how people feel at work.

Whether it’s through leadership development, emotional culture workshops, stakeholder strategy, or designing full programmes, I partner with HR leaders, facilitators, and teams to bring this work to life in a grounded, human way.

Alongside that, I train others to confidently use these tools themselves—so they can create safe spaces, lead meaningful change, and build cultures of care and accountability.

The impact? Leaders with more clarity and influence. Teams that feel connected and aligned. And organisations that retain great people because the emotional culture feels strong, safe, and real.

More about Jenni 

I’m interested in how being intentional around emotional awareness builds culture and emotional wellbeing (using The Emotional Culture Deck), plus how understanding ourselves and each other (using a Communication IQ profile) embed how we can relate differently both personally and professionally.

Completing an MA in Leadership at Henley Business School (2020) this has focussed me on Leadership in particular – whether an individual or a team. We currently run two businesses with the above.

My experience is mainly working with leaders and leadership teams particularly in small/medium businesses, charities and organisations – helping with vision and values, culture and healthy teams.

I use The ECD in the above for emotional culture crafting, leadership, going through change, stakeholder engagement and having difficult conversations.

I’ve got a strong track record when it comes to designing and delivering learning, development, and cultural change initiatives that actually stick.

People often describe me as an engaging, energetic facilitator and coach who brings ideas to life in a way that’s easy to connect with.

I love creating useful tools and resources—everything from reports and toolkits to web content that helps people grow and learn.

At the heart of it, I’m a people person. I work well with others, build strong relationships, and genuinely enjoy collaborating with teams at every level.

More about Marie-Claire 

My son once called me “a solutionist and an artist” — and honestly, that sums me up pretty well. I’m naturally curious, creative, and thrive in complexity. I love solving problems, learning as I go, and finding meaning in the mess.

I’m fascinated by what makes people tick — the brain, behaviour, emotion, connection, and the blend of science and wisdom that shapes how we live and lead. I believe learning and growing is what life’s all about.

That’s why I’m drawn to work that makes a difference. At Nedbank, I get to help turn purpose into action. And through the Six Seconds network, I’m proud to help grow a more emotionally intelligent world — one person at a time

The world needs organisations and leaders who take the long view and are willing to step up and help solve the challenges we face today in service of the greater good. And there is so much good we can do. This is one of the primary reasons I choose to work at Nedbank and to play my part in putting our purpose of doing good for individuals, families, businesses, and societies into practice.
