Great experience. Clear and logical, not 2 words that are ordinarily associated with emotions, but this Emotional Culture Masterclass workshop is both and more. Well presented and a lot of fun, the knowledge you gain will immediately add to your existing toolbox. 100% recommend.
Larry v.
So grateful for such a valuable conversation at the heart of deep listening to the heart of any organisation - Its people. My second workshop already planned. such a flexible dimension for any workshop in future. Thank you to the Riders&Elephants team :)
Monique H.
For me, I realise I 'need' the hard copy physical version so I have ordered this :)
Lily Poh
An insightful and helpful tool with canvas and guides that you can use and redesign to fit your need. Flexible and easy to apply.
Donna Harwood
Having completed the Emotional Culture Crafting Course and learning how to use the Emotional Culture Deck it has been incredibly valuable. It has given me another powerful tool to add to my coaching toolkit and has deepened my understanding of the important role emotions play in communication, connection, and workplace culture. One part I appreciated was the research and insight around how beneficial it is to openly talk about emotions, rather than avoiding them. The course was engaging, practical, and thought-provoking. Both Steven and Katherine have been fantastic, sharing ideas and encouraging everyone to give it a go. I have learnt so much. Thank you for creating such a meaningful and useful tool. I’m excited to start incorporating what I’ve learnt into my coaching work.

The ECD Masterclass offered two opportunities for me - one cognitive, the other connective. The first opportunity, the cognitive part, is the deep understanding of the deck and the framework. When I downloaded the free version I thought that I got it figure out. I realised after the Masterclass how wrong I was. Through the masterclass, I learned the core essence of the deck, the complementarity feature of the canvas and the science behind both. The second opportunity, that which is connective, is being in a platform with ECD experts and fellow learners. The community offered a beautiful space to try, learn, ask question, and be inspired. Finally, it provided a venue for emotions to be freely felt and expressed. The ECD Emotional Crafting Course is a beautifully structured entry point to the world of ECD.

Enlightening.
Zainab I.
Its amazing how people instantly connect with the deck
Cara Amanda Reid
Clear structure and outline, enjoyed the video content. Lots of resources. Think there's value in seeing/participating in a course before facilitating though.
Louise Elks
It was insightful and practical
Ghaya Barwani
A must for coaches and facilitators - whether you work with individual clients, groups or teams. Even if you are a facilitator who helps enterpreneurs build and sustain their business - the emotional culture deck will help you help them tap into their emotions and build a business that thrives.
Suzanne Doran
Fourth and final course for me! I prefer the in-person format but it was useful to do one online version to be guided through the structure of an ECD culture-crafting workshop. Lots of good tips and tricks from Jeremy's learnings with the cards as well. Thanks!
Tara-Lee Ainsworth
A powerful and effective tool for bringing individuals on a journey first moving to team second to create an impactful environment where people learn much more about themselves and others.
Melissa Felice
Love the way this course builds on the importance of teams to organisational culture! Start small and scale
Cara McCarthy
A great way to understand the impact a conversation about emotions can have on teams and their culture. Simple, effective, creative and intuitive. The course is well structured and easy to access.
Kym Hamer
I am super clear on the value ECD can offer and got the most of the case studies and practical exercises. I did find it a bit repetitive throughout both the course and the reflection prompts.
Robyn Liddiard
overwhelmingly fabulous. so many great examples of practical application provided throughout.
Leanna Ryan
Thought provoking course with numerous applications and high potential
Robin (Robbie) Stennet
This is a very useful and unique course that gets to the heart of something we all deal with and that is all around us yet rarely discussed - emotions and how that affects the work environment and teams. In a simple and structured and fun way this deck workshop format helps teams begin to wade into the likely new territory of intentionally considering and crafting their emotional culture.
Michelle Watt
The ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Masterclass was one of the most practical and engaging courses I’ve done. It provided a simple but powerful framework for connecting emotion, behaviour, and culture in a real and usable way. I loved how it brought leadership and team development together through genuine conversation rather than theory. The tools and structure have given me confidence to run meaningful workshops that create authentic values and stronger team connection.
Masatsugu Tsuji
I thought the ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Masterclass was an outstanding and transformative course. The content was practical, well-structured, and full of real-world examples that made it easy to understand how to apply emotional culture concepts in any organization. I especially appreciated the step-by-step frameworks, the variety of tools, and the opportunities to reflect on my own leadership style. The course not only deepened my understanding of emotional culture, but also gave me the confidence and skills to facilitate meaningful conversations about emotions in the workplace. I was inspired by the stories and case studies, and I found the community aspect very motivating. Overall, I feel much more equipped to create positive change in my team and to help spread the importance of emotional culture in Japan.
Julian Alexander K. H. Del Pilar
very very useful for work, but more importantly for me what an eye opener how to look at situations and deal with people.
Laurel Hollen-Forbes
INCREDIBLE - this will be a tool I use for decades to come, I think it will deepen my practice as a manager and a facilitator and I hope it becomes a regular practice in our organization
Mary Bodilsen
I really enjoyed it - I like the mixture of video and resources, and seeing the ECD in action.
Marsha La Verne
The was one of the most profound shifts in how workplace culture is viewed and supported.
Cristina Alafriz
A great entry point into the world of ECD, opening my eyes into the many possibilities of how I can create even more powerful conversation processes for the clients and teams I work with
Jaimee McAleese
It was a great course. I love the concept of the game and how it opens the conversations that need to be had. There were moments where the videos I felt incomplete and there was one repeated video. But overall I learned what I needed to and love the presenter and the authenticity that came with it.
Rachel Pedersen
This is a powerful tool that I can't wait to use. The course literature and extra tools supplied are amazing.
Mark Harrison
insightful course that reinforced some elements I knew and brought a fresh perspective to element I didn't know
Benjamin Yaw Manu
Our make is our feelings. We become 'alive' by naming and claiming what we feel. Most importantly by telling how stories with these emotions
Julian Alexander H.
Very refreshing and relevant way to engage with people and face the world.
Jeffrey R.
I very much appreciate this course. It is comprehensive, actionable, and chock-full of basic science on the power and importance of creating an positive emotional climate at work. The materials and live check-in sessions contributed to my learning which I have already begun to incorporate into my consulting and facilitation.
Mihai Nastasescu
Looking back at how much I learned during the past weeks I can only express my sincere appreciation for this great course. The structure was excellent, making it easy to navigate and learn at my own pace. I particularly appreciated the wealth of advice and practical tips you provided. The community, the wealth of tools, the great examples from real-world applications made the concepts much easier to understand and apply. The mix of resources—videos, papers, and the opportunity for real-time communication—created a truly engaging and comprehensive learning experience. Most importantly, the course has been a significant reframing for me, giving me a different angle to look at teams, leaders, and individual performance. It's an invaluable resource. Thank you again for creating and sharing such a high-quality course.
Vanessa Torres
I really liked it. The only thing I would change would be to send less emails as I felt bombarded at times.
Mihai N.
The course helped me immediately realize how powerful emotional culture actually is, shaping how people actually behave rather than just how they are supposed to according to the aspirations stated by the organization. I realized why, sometimes, me and my team found it hard to answer the question “how do you live our company’s values?” I also realized how neglected are sometimes the “feeling” aspects which could be a major cause of lack of empathy with all its consequences: lack of trust and psychological safety, low morale, poor communication. The combination of effective videos, self-study and virtual calls with great examples of how to use the tools is very well balanced, helping me cope with the busy schedule and learning at the same time. A portal with a wealth of information helps with tips, hints and answers to most of my questions.
Maike Lena Becker
I think it is great to walk through the whole workshop in the course. I also like the recommended readings and books as well as additional videos. I think the last bit where it is about "selling" ECD to clients is not sufficiently deep - but I guess that was also not the goal of that section (?).
Matt Gray
The Course has opened my mind to the possibilities for the ECD to address elephants in the room for organisations, for emotional honesty and addressing vulnerability in the workplace.
Louise K.
Love the concept of the cards. However what someone teach the course mainly refer to stories about other workshops not that inspiring to watch.
Bill C.
I found the Emotional Crafting Course was excellent - easy to navigate through the learning journey, very helpful and informative, the Coaching sessions are great at bringing it alive, and now there are heaps of additional resources to work through as well.
Katrina Tala S. Ocampo
This is such a powerful tool and should be part of the start of all groups, classes, organizations, etc. and part of our daily check-in with ourselves.
Christine Kern
It was wonderful! Professionally designed, amazing tools and resources, lots and lots of information. My only piece of feedback is that the amount of resources out there can feel overwhelming at times. Also, the live calls that we have weekly are not that impactful. One of the facilitators tends to talk a bit more than I'd like and I wish we had more time to actually play and experience the deck in those calls.
Paula Munch, MSN, RN
The ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Course was amazing. The possibilities for team building using the deck are endless. I would recommend this course for any team because even the best teams have challenges, and this deck can help your team connect on a more personal level.
Tracey Irwin
What a fantastic start to my Certified Consultant journey. The lessons were a good size, lots of different ways to interact to keep the interest, and so much gold in the tips and techniques and application of the deck. Loved it. I have had a hard couple of months, and doing this really helped with my energy levels and focus. I feel ENERGISED.
Tala O.
I love the course and appreciate the extra card deck! So excited to make more use of it :-)
Callum Denali
The ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Masterclass was such a valuable experience. I loved that I could complete it at my own pace it meant I had the time to pause, reflect, and really absorb the tools and techniques. What stood out most, though, was realising how powerful it would be to go through the course as a team. The conversations, insights, and shared ownership you gain by doing it together take the learning to another level. This Masterclass completely shifted how I view emotions in the workplace. Instead of being “soft” or secondary, I now see them as one of the most powerful drivers of culture, performance, and connection. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to build more authentic, human-centred ways of working.
Jeffrey M. Ring, Ph.D.
Helpful, focused, interactive, engaging and playful. The number of tools and applications is a bit mind-boggling, but the three month interval provides lots of time to dive in and explore about
Bill Carson
This Masterclass has been very very straightforward to go though and navigate , the learning management system is very effective and easy to follow. Then there are substantial amounts of resources to learn and to use. Excellent. I will be into action very quickly - which is great.
Tammy Leung
The course was very comprehensive - it felt like I was in an in-person course. Additionally, additional resources are also shared, should I want to reference a book or article Jeremy Dean mentioned. There are several case studies which help to supplement my learning and endeavour to facilitate an ECD workshop.
Mary Chieu-Kwuan Loh
The ECD Emotional Culture Masterclass Course is a deeply insightful layered experience. You are introduced to why emotions matter and how you might facilitate a "Map Your Emotional Culture "workshop for your team or for others to build stronger teams. Fully loaded with up to date research on emotion science, practical step by step workshop plans and case studies, you will be equipped with new ways in which high performing teams can become more successful by defining what its members want or don't want to feel.
Amy Smith
Such an engaging format, great content and a really digestible way to learn how to use such an agile tool.

Michelle Ann Blewett
The ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Masterclass Course empowers organisations to have a pulse on the true emotional drivers of their people, allowing them to gain a powerful edge to retain talent, reduce absenteeism, and increase collaboration and trust in their teams. The ECD is a powerful tool for organisations to move beyond stale top-down values statements, to a culture driven by the emotions that empower people to do their best work.
Maria Padalski
The Emotional Culture Deck Course is one of the best-designed and most enriching learning experiences I’ve had. It’s incredibly well-organized and flexible, offering a rich variety of formats and a wealth of resources to dive into at your own pace. What truly sets it apart is the amazing and generous community—facilitators from around the world who openly share their ideas, experiences, and tools. You don’t just learn about emotional culture—you become part of a movement that’s reshaping the way we work, lead, and connect.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. The course has given me so much inspiration and has me feeling extra curious and excited to see that this looks like in my organisation. Also, seeing someone who is like me 'doesnt like public speaking' and feels anxious most of the time, create and deliver such a amazing and powerful tool that is used world-wide! Jeremy is the best!
Lexie Clare
I liked this way of learning. Jeremy including all the little details about why aspects of the workshop are there and what things will work, may work or may not work and the reasons behind the thinking was really helpful!

Awesome course! I want more!

Very well-designed, rich and practical.

The structure of this course is excellent, as is the learning platform. Jeremy's presentations are fantastic with his abundance of generosity and humility. The process and tools bring forth what workplaces and relationships are crying out for right now; to simply get to the beating heart of what matters without over complicating things while honoring individuals' inherent need for autonomy.
Saba u.
ECD is a simple yet powerful tool that opens up meaningful and authentic conversations about emotions/feelings in the workplace.
The bite size lessons in the masterclass make it easy to learn and digest. Highly recommend it!
I can't wait to use ECD in a variety of ways!

It was easy enough to follow. The sound and filming in some of the live recordings was not the best - couldn't hear valuable participant questions
Saba Umair
A must for everyone wanting to bring emotions into the equation and rehumanize their workplace

Sarah Horne FCIPD
The course was really insightful and thought provoking. Some valuable tips and techniques on how I can now implement this and take back to my clients. I cant wait to get out there and start talking feelings and emotions with all of my clients!
Nicole Seichter
simple but to the point
Jennifer LeBlanc
Simple but brilliant tool for bringing emotions into the workplace in a variety of different ways. Based on well-founded research that shows that leaders and teams that deal with (vs ignore) emotions are happier, more engaged and productive together.
Emma Georgiou
I thoroughly enjoyed the ECD Emotional Masterclass, the training and resources provided were very comprehensive and it was structured in bitesized chunks, with content in different formats to suit different types of learners. I was amazed by the simplicity of the tool. This doesn't compromise how it works, or the results it gets, as it is clear it leads to powerful conversations and big changes.
Sharazad Maricar
Easy to follow, well organised, and packed with practical advice.

Judy Mikalonis, MSOD, CPCC
This course appeals to multiple learning styles and has very practical application across leadership development, change management, coaching, culture change, psychological safety and trust work. It's refreshing to have a tangible, hands-on, researched-based way (a deck of cards) to engage others in play and ultimately help them create their own moments of insight and self-awareness. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to make a difference for themselves, their teams and their organizations.
Sandi Arrowsmith
A wonderful set of tools and guidelines to truly bring teams together. Sharing stories, discussing common experiences, and identifying differences is such a powerful way to involve people to decide the culture of how they want to work together and support each other.
Karen (Armstrong) Tucker
Amazing! So happy I found you guys. The course was structured well, great content, good presentations and heaps of valuable material to apply to Client engagements straight away. I look forward to offering Emotional Culture Consulting services. Thank-you!
Amanda Carmine
A key effective way to gain a solid foundational understanding of the ECD; its background, how it is used and how it can help in so many situations to support humans.
Catherine Moore
I am grateful for the opportunity to have taken this course – I learned about it because someone I respected mentioned it in passing, and I signed up because I thought it would be interesting, but for me, it was much more. I had several ah-ha moments in the course, and the material in this course made things I had learned about in a different course come alive for me in a way that I did not expect at all. I enjoyed being able to use the cards in many different settings, including with family, to generate really interesting conversations. Thank you, and I look forward to learning more through my journey with the ECD!
Sue Ann Tan
The ECD Emotional Culture Crafting Masterclass course was truly eye-opening. It gave me a fresh perspective on the significance of emotions in shaping team dynamics and workplace culture. It's something that you can't dictate from the top but you co-create through open, genuine and authentic conversations that connect people on a deeper level. The course was practical and insightful. It went beyond just teaching tools - it created an immersive experience that offers both personal insight and practical skills to facilitate these conversations. It's given me the confidence to not only to try using these tools professionally but also experiment them in personal settings, like with family and kids, which I've already seen meaningful results. I left feeling inspired and exited to apply what I've learned to help teams and individuals create more emotionally aware environments. I'd high recommend to anyone looking to make a meaningful impact.
