Real change doesn’t happen alone.
From your first conversation to your biggest breakthroughs, our Elephant Rider community is here to share experiences, swap ideas, and cheer you on every step of the way. We bring together bold, curious leaders who aren’t afraid to talk about what really drives culture... emotions.
Join our community >A place for Elephant Riders to connect, learn, and rehumanise work
However you join us, whether online or in person, you’ll be part of a global conversation that’s transforming workplaces and the way people feel at work.. Organised as communities of practice, our community has evolved into a dynamic, global tribe of practitioners where people meet, interact, share learnings and answer questions. These communities become available from when you graduate fomr your first ECD Specialist Course. Then, as you make your way to ECD mastery, more opportunities to engage with, and learn alongside, experienced practitioners become available.
The key to our communities
Completing one of our ECD Specialist Courses gives you access to so much more of The Emotional Culture Deck Universe. Having mastered the foundational elements, you become an ECD Practitioner and unlock your official Elephant Rider badge. This is the first step on our ECD Professional Certification Pathway, and you now have access to our communities. Don’t miss out. Experience the sense of welcome and support for yourself.

You’re never alone
Throughout your entire journey with The Emotional Culture Deck, you can tap into our supportive and generous Elephant Rider Community. Being active in our communities will also exponentially improve your success and bring new life, value and depth to how you master your emotions.

A global movement of Elephant Riders, learning and leading together
From your first conversation to your biggest breakthroughs, our community is here to share experiences, swap ideas, and cheer you on every step of the way. Because we all have different ways of using The Emotional Culture Deck, the learning is limitless. When you discover a way to tap into The ECD's potential that others haven’t seen yet, seize the opportunity to share it and earn their respect and thanks. Likewise, if someone shares a problem that you’ve already solved, jumping in and helping them out enhances your reputation and can make a powerful difference for another community member.

Three reasons to join
1
Practice makes perfect(ish)
As with all well-organised communities of practice, the focus is practical. Through joining up with others, you'll also discover and learn the different applications of The ECD together and experience for yourself how individuals can - and do - change the world around them every day. Interact directly with others who *get it* and who are also looking to make the most of The ECD. You’ll access the generous resources communities share to support you on your journey and hear from fellow practitioners about their experiences and discoveries.

2
The very real rewards of belonging
Over 2000 people have joined our community to date. This means you have access to an extraordinary pool of working knowledge. We regularly hear from community members how much they enjoy sharing stories and receiving positive feedback and suggestions from others in a community. Our communities also mean you have an active network to turn to – fast-tracking access to information and further deepening trust, relationships and collaboration. Sharing your learnings and experiences then builds your networks and reinforces your presence alongside others.

3
Bring out new conversations
Imagine a world where you can help people have better, more emotionally aware lives and experiences – where they feel acknowledged, accepted and free to state what is happening for them in the moment and beyond. If such a vision excites you, our communities are here to support you on your journey to bring out new conversations.
