Elephant Rider Community Update
People keep asking "what is an Elephant Rider?". So we sat down with a few of them and asked them what this Elephant Rider thing is all about!
ECDTV: Emotional Leadership Season Launch
Elephant Rider Insights Season 2 is all about Emotional Leadership – the awareness and understanding of the importance of emotions at work. Building genuine connections by allowing others to bring their whole selves to work (and life).

2 Pieces of Content To Inspire
Here are the next two talks that changed the way I see the world, my work and how we work. Both these talks explore emotions I'm familiar with: discomfort and fear. But they helped me see them from a new perspective. Hope you enjoy.

2. Rohan Gunatillake: You Are Not Your Work
"At the heart of any creative endeavour often lies fear; fear of missing an opportunity, of burning out, of not scaling, or fear of failure. In this presentation, Mindfulness Everywhere Director Gunatillake reminds us of the humanity in an often cold business world—and how to never lose sight of the fact that there is another human being at the other end of the screen."
1 Tool Worth Testing
Building thriving cultures in a hybrid world – by SYPartners
"Given the Great Reset at work sparked by the pandemic, what’s changed about how to create a vibrant company culture? And are there entirely new elements we should be considering as we work to evolve our organization’s culture so it can be resilient and fit for the future? What makes a culture, anyway?"

Wellbeing Deck Meetup – March 2, 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.
Bring your cards along! We will always play with The Wellbeing Deck in each Meetup!
ECD Unconference, March 23, 2022
Beyond the Deck ECD Unconference is our new annual gathering for Elephant Riders.
It's a conference with no formal set agenda, where every attendee is a worthy keynote speaker on their own. All topics of conversation are on the table: from what is emotional culture, vulnerability, leadership, and so much more.
Elephant Rider Meetup – April 26
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.
Our team invites two leaders (usually Elephant Riders) to share their Emotional Culture Deck bright spots. These leaders each have an inspiring story to tell about how they have used the deck with different groups of people of different sizes.
Introducing ECDTV. New ways. New ideas. New answers. New perspectives.
Here's this month's episodes...
This left an impression on me...
"In the startup world, we rarely hear about personal growth. It’s all about the growth of the company. What would it be like to put human metrics on a whiteboard with the same level of importance as sales numbers."
– Rohan Gunatillake, Mindfulness Everywhere
We hear you.
At riders&elephants we believe in people’s right to express themselves and to tap their emotions to challenge and shift behaviours. Our games help people speak their truth through simple, powerful words. It’s time to lay your cards on the table.
