ECD Emotional Leadership
Development Course
Learn how to develop emotionally aware, human-centred leaders who harness the power of emotions to help their people and teams thrive.
What to Expect
This hands-on one-day course is designed for immediate application, ensuring that you can translate insights into action as soon as you return to your team or clients. You can expect:
- Understanding the power of emotions in leading others effectively
- Development of effective emotion-led leadership strategies.
- Learning how to use and embed our ready-made Emotional Culture Deck Leadership Tools
- Active learning through interactive activities and group discussions.
- Exploration of personal leadership and team leadership.

Leading new conversations
When individual leaders engage with The ECD, they think about their emotions and what is going on in their life through the Deck. That can be transformational for them. But one of the advantages of these Courses is that a group of leaders is introduced to, and thinks through, their emotions. They decide together and those decisions work both ways. They inform other leaders on how to best emotionally engage, and they help individuals align how they feel and want to feel with the emotional drivers of other leaders in the group.

Why this Course is a Game-Changer
In today’s fast-paced and complex business environment, the ability to lead with emotion is more critical than ever. Our ECD Emotional Leadership Development Course is designed to transform the way leaders understand and harness the power of emotions to foster a more dynamic and responsive workplace.

Why Emotional Leadership Matters
Emotional culture is shaped by how all employees—from the highest echelons to the front lines—comport themselves day in and day out. But it’s up to senior leaders to establish which emotions will help the organization thrive, model those emotions, and reward others for doing the same. Companies in which they do this have a lot to gain. – Sigal Barsade & Olivia O'Neil,
