Apply nowHow does the Programme work?
The programme a guided journey of personal development, learning-by-doing, and reflection. As part of the programme you'll run five ECD workshops and complete a series of challenges to develop deeper and more professional Emotional Culture Deck facilitation skills.
Over the course of the Programme you'll have 6 one-to-one working sessions with Jeremy. Before and after completing specific levels, you’ll share, reflect and learn together. Once you’ve completed all the scenarios, you become an Emotional Culture Deck Certified Facilitator aka Pro Elephant Rider!
You complete the Programme over 6 months at your own pace in your own time (because we know life can get hectic). There are 7 levels of progressively more advanced scenarios that will broaden and strengthen your ECD facilitation skills.
As we grow our partner network around the world, only 10 people are invited to join the programme and start their Pro Elephant Rider training every six months. Apply now to continue your journey.
