2. How to Rebuild Trust in the Workplace – Nobl Academy

Why Emotions Matter in My Workplace – Matthew Conger
My workplace, for lack of a better word, is a football pitch. My colleagues, between two and six of them depending on the day, might be people I’ve known for years or met an hour or so before kick-off. Our customers are two competing teams of eleven athletes, along with substitutes, coaches and support staff. They may be of different ages, ethnicities and cultures.

Emotional Leadership = Head + Heart – Denise Hartley Wilkins
I was coaching a leader, using the Emotional Culture Deck to help them explore the question “How I want to feel at work”. We stepped into discovering the desired feelings, the positive state. That flowed easily. We stepped into the undesired feelings, how I don’t want to feel. There was a noticeable hesitancy as they stepped into the ‘why’, the story, sitting behind these undesired feelings.

Upcoming Events
Elephant Rider Meetup – April 26, 2022
Elephant Rider Meetups are 90-minute virtual events where we get to meet each other and learn from each other. So you're always meeting new Elephant Riders.
We invite two leaders (usually Elephant Riders) to share their Emotional Culture Deck experiences and bright spots stories. These leaders each have an inspiring story to tell about how they have used the deck with different groups of people of different sizes.
Well-being Deck Meetup – June 1, 2022
Meetups are 90-minute virtual events where we get to meet each other and learn from each other. So you're always meeting new people who adopt and use The Wellbeing Deck.
Our team will invite two leaders to along as guest presenters. One leader who uses the Wellbeing Deck as part of their practice and work will share their bright spot stories and insights from using the game. The second guest presenter will be an expert or specialist in wellbeing and share their wellbeing story, insights and lessons with us all.
ECD Online Masterclass – September, 2022
People working with the deck are always asking how they can deliver the most possible value to their clients and teams. How they can stand out from the crowd. So we put Jeremy’s knowledge to work - several years and thousands of hours’ worth of development and practice, built off hundreds of workshops - and created this online masterclass.
We only open the Online Masterclass Course twice a year. March & September.
