Emotional Leadership Development Course
This isnât about managing emotions. Itâs about leading with them. Traditional leadership courses teach models. This one teaches presence, vulnerability, and emotional impact. Youâll learn how to establish the emotions your people need to thrive, and how to show up in a way that inspires trust, connection, and performance.

Most change management focuses on tasks and timelines. This course zooms in on what actually blocks change: how people feel about it. Youâll learn how to map and shift emotional patterns during change, and design strategies that help people move from resistance to engagement. Itâs change leadership that starts with emotion, not a timeline.Â
Learn more here >Emotional Stakeholder Engagement Course
Traditional stakeholder strategies often focus on processes. We focus on people. In this course, youâll learn how to lead with feeling. Shaping experiences that spark loyalty, connection, and deeper impact. Itâs about crafting meaningful moments that people remember.

Crafting Course

Itâs hands-on, practical, and built around The Emotional Culture Deck. The world's most popular culture tool used by thousands to craft team culture from the bottom up. No long-winded theory.
