Going Remote with Emotion. IBM Romania's Success with The Emotional Culture Deck

 

In an impressive display of adaptability and innovation, Lili Mesesan, ECD Certified Consultant and Project Manager at IBM, took remote working to a new level during the Covid-19 lockdown. From her temporary home in Piha, New Zealand, Lili ventured into the unknown by using The ECD Remote Team Workshop to facilitate a workshop for 70 IBM Romania team members.

Despite initial nerves about how well the remote format would work, the session turned out to be a remarkable success. Leveraging the chat function of their video conferencing tool, Lili encouraged team members to either type out the cards they chose or share their thoughts aloud. While it took a bit of time to warm up, within just 40 minutes, the importance of emotional awareness in the workplace became clear to everyone involved.

The workshop sparked lively discussions, with many participants openly talking about their feelings and how they wanted to feel at work.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with some attendees saying they would be implementing the ECD Weekly Retro tool within their own teams. We're incredibly inspired by Lili’s work and think this shows how versatile and adaptable The ECD really is!

The ECD Weekly Retro Conversation Guide is a fresh twist on team check-ins, designed for teams new and old, and even groups who don't usually work together. It's a straightforward, impactful activity that encourages openness and vulnerability. With this guide, team members reflect on their week, share emotions with chosen cards from The Emotional Culture Deck, and tell their stories. This simple process leads to surprisingly deep connections, helping to tackle issues, celebrate wins, and learn together for a stronger, more emotionally intelligent team.

Problem It Solves: The team check-in is broken. It's old and tired and doesn't create connections with team members or help individuals really express what's happening for them. In a busy work week, teams might not stop to reflect on how they're doing, especially emotionally. This guide creates a space for that reflection in a way that you or your people won't have experienced before.
