Getting started! sharing with friends and learning the Emotional Culture Deck. So simple and yet so powerful!
Megan Mackay
What wonderfully engaging course. A nice mix of video, research and free type. It was engaging to follow along with the cards and hear first had experiences of how ECD can build capability and relationships.
Benjamin Parker
I like the format I think the fact that it is all done by Jeremy means it feels consistent and personal. Going from your intro videos in the home office to filming in the classroom make for a solid experience. Whilst it obviously doesn't replace attending an in-person training it is a great introduction to the tool and allows you to feel comfortable to play with it.
Anne Koopmann-Schmidt
The Emotional Culture Deck is such a powerful tool, and yet it is so simple that it can be used in so many different situations. The masterclass was great as it gave really practical tips and so many ressources that will help to facilitate powerful team and coaching sessions. I can't wait to use this tool to build more human-centred cultures and drive a change in leadership.
Diane Stephen
Great course structured in such a way as to allow you to reflect on your own style, personality, goals, client relationships - stimulates your thinking. The ECD itself is flexible enough for you to also reflect on how you would create valuable conversations. Lots of information in appropriately sized chunks - great, I enjoyed it and am already planning on how to use the ECD!
Denise Wilson
It was very worthwhile
Stan Sozynski
ECD Online Masterclass is a true fast-track in how to use the ECD effectively. It's full of actionable insights and high-impact exercises. It's years of knowledge and experience compressed to a couple hours. I recommend it to anyone interested in using the Emotional Culture Deck.
Benjamin Manu
This is a cathartic way of getting people to be themselves at work. Organizations that give room to their people to bring their full selves to work will greatly learn from the course
Glen Davis
I got a lot out of the masterclass and loved the flexible delivery. This flexibility allows you to listen, watch, absorb and if needed go back again to clarify and check your understanding.
Denise Chilton
A simple, fun and effective on line programme showing you how to get people to have conversations that otherwise they wouldn't have about how they want to feel at work. The On line course really is broken down into smaller chunks so really manageable to complete no matter how busy you are and the content shows a workshop in action so you can see what you need to do. For any coach, facilitator wanting to deepen understanding about themselves and have some more resources and tools to use I would highly recommmend.- it was recommended to me by another coach.Excellent investment of my time and money. Thank you
Bronwyn Boon
A really helpful on-line course supported by useful and accessible resources. The sections step you through in a clear, well paced manner. The anecdotes presented on the way give context to the ECD process and insight into how the process works in real-life.
Lauren King
Great and really appreciate this tool being so easily available and shared.
Stacey McCoy
I enjoyed watching the course being taught and found the examples interesting. The downloads that relate to each video is helpful and the case studies were thought provoking as well as the unintended uses that have grown out of the ECD.
Yasmin Kachwala
I love the Emotional Culture Deck. The masterclass was amazing. I liked the way everything is broken down into byte sized learning, the videos, and case studies. The template super helpful as well. I cannot wait to use this deck with my team and family. It will help people really connect to their inner drivers and enhance self-awareness. The use of this invaluable deck across the organisation can lead to a higher emotional culture and enhance productivity as well as retention.
Hamish Peter
The Masterclass course enable me to reflect on what I have done facilitating in the past and refresh my thinking but more importantly exposed me to more ways to use to deck and experiment with its use.
Chloe Guillevic
The ECD Online Masterclass is the best e-learning course I have taken so far. It is easy to follow, involving and inspiring. It makes you want to try it as soon as possible and create opportunities to play with the deck !
Kirstie Magowan
Thoroughly enjoyed the masterclass, and feel that I learned a lot from the course. I feel like I have the knowledge and skills needed to run my first workshop using the deck and look forward to doing this. I feel supported by the Riders and Elephants team and know that I will be supported through my journey to become a skilled ECD practitioner.
Jules Sim
The course is really good for explaining how it can be used and giving ideas on how others have continued to use it in their organisations. The videos are great so that one doesn't' just have to read instructions. And I love that we can control the speed of the video's as well. Great dashboard, ease of finding resources and support.
Justina Levinaite
The course was engaging and enlighting to watch, giving it a try to play with teh cards myself allowed to gain some sense of the tool and work on my own self-awearness. Suggestion - share list of materials to read to gain more knowledge around the topics of culture and emotions.
Veronica Huntington
I enjoyed the ECD Online Masterclass course, found it beneficial and I can't wait to use my learnings to connect further with and support my own team. The material was relevant, clearly shared, and accompanied by interesting real-life stories. It was easy to visualise using the ECD in a number of scenarios with varying types of teams.
Tanya Jones
I have found the Masterclass to be engaging, interesting, educational and enlightening.
Tonya Wemhoff
I loved this couse, not just because I learned how to use the cards but also because there more ways to use them than just the shown use. We can be versatile and still have fun. My only wish is that I could go back and rewatch videos after the course. I am so excited to get started and share the excitement and connections that this deck will create.
Georgina de Lautour
Simple and easy to navigate. Love that there are additional resources suggested throughout. Fantastic that you bring practitioners together via online meetups.
Kath Cooper
I loved the course, it was clear, well set out, and logical. The booklet provided was a real gem and complimented the course really well.
Prina S.
A great tool to go deeper. To go beyond the cognitive culture that we are all so used to talking to at a surface level and start to address the emotional culture my clients wish to build. A game which is a game changer!
Desiree Purvis
Mirroring the Emotional Culture Deck, the ECD Online Masterclass Course is well-structured and easy to follow. Jeremy's teaching style is authentic, informative - with plenty of examples - and inspiring. Watching the videos made me have deep regret that I was unable to attend an in-person masterclass as I really enjoy playing and interacting with other people in situ. However, having 90 days to complete the course gives me ample time to go back and review the videos so that I can pick up anything I may have missed. I also really appreciate the opportunity to attend the meetups so that I get to meet students from all over the world, and to learn directly from Jeremy and the master practitioners. I'm grateful for the time they give us out of their busy schedules and feel supported in my learning. The case studies were a real bonus and highlight how ECD can be used in so many different ways. That I was able to use the deck and tools as soon as I learnt the Weekly Retro is testament to how effective the ECD is - amazing! I'm looking forward to continuing my ECD journey, and learning and playing more.
Jess Lawson
The course was great. It is a simple tool which enables a huge shift in the way people talk about how they feel at work. I have learnt a lot about how to make the most of the cards and look forward to improving the conversations that workplaces are having about their emotional culture.
Jonathan B.
I'm really excited to use this new tool.
I'm a bit overwhelmed by the email deluge since I completed the course. Making our workplace more 'humane' I think suggests we go a bit easier - email is the bain of my existence right now. I've not had a chance to test anything out. I'm keen, but I also have a life and a business already operating. The message that pressed my buttons was the email selling the membership at significant expense, a day or two after graduating.... To be honest that really put me off.
Thanks. I hope to do a lot with this tool and with you guys. Go easy on me!!
Sarah Best
Kia ora and ng_ mihi nui Jeremy and the team for creating this friendly, chill, inspiring and very useful course. I'm now feeling ready to facilitate workshops using the Emotional Culture Deck. First off, I'll try it out on my family! Then step right up Wellington organisations who are ready to "Map your emotional culture". Let's do this!
Gemma Saunders
Thank you for the lessons, insights and phenomenal tools. I love how playful, powerful and action-oriented this is. I can't wait to take this out to teams and continue mapping emotional experiences using the game and all the fabulous tools that come with it.
Pamela Wendler
The ECD Masterclass brought me many new perspectives on the importance of involving the emotions in any development process. Furthermore, the additional tools to help in everyday consulting are extremely helpful.
Denise C.
I am half way through the training - had to stop as am on holiday. Loving the training - easy to follow and very accessible in the bite sized chunks
Ellis Gibson
Such an easy and intuitive platform, broken down into the perfect amount of time for each block. I do feel like I need to go through the content again for it to really sink in but it was awesome to have the combination of filmed masterclasses and face to face videos with Jeremy.
Jonathan Bedloe
Overall its been excellent. It has felt like a big investment financially, but I feel it will be worthwhile.
Stephen M.
The package and cards are awesome. I love the branding, and I particularly love the extra little touches. You really do pay it forward :)
Tonya W.
I am so inspired with the reactions and openness that people have toward the Emotional Culture Deck. They get excited and the conversations are amazing. I love these experiences.
Ferdinand Morales
This has been an incredibly enriching experience for me! I am feeling more inspired than ever as a leader and I credit that to how the course exposes you to real-life applications and outcomes of organizations running the workshops. I got so much out of hearing the stories and case studies of other organizations that have embraced emotional culture. I feel ready to become an elephant rider!
Anne S.
I really appreciated Jeremy's down to earth and authentic style of leading the workshop. I also really love how accessible this genius game is for folks who may be new to thinking about how they feel. Great tool for gently introducing emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Mahesh Parmar
Very engaging, easy to follow with structured steps that allow for deviation where appropriate.
Kathy S.
Amazing Masterclass that really sets us up to being this invaluable tool to our clients. Love the practical exercises that help us experience the power of the conversation these cards unlock.
Katherine Riddoch
Terrific self-paced course, packed with resources and tips. Loved the addition of the Slack community. Can't wait to put it all into practice. Thank you!
Tim Waite
Really enjoyed the ECD Online Masterclass course - I came away with a good understanding of how to use the ECD with plenty of context provided through the video discussions. The supplementary articles and videos really added value, especially enjoyed the real life application demonstrated at Burger Fuel, and the other organisations referenced - Thanks to them for giving permission!
Helen Beamish
The ECD Online Masterclass enabled me to learn at my own pace - in what was a very busy personal and family season - yet the video presentations helped me feel like I was "in class" . The additional downloads and links to other readings were really helpful in each section. When coupled with the opportunity to meet up and have some time with others in the online cohort, there was ample opportunity to get to know others in the class, and to experience using the cards together. During the course of the Course, several other invitations from allied people - other Elephant Riders - became possible, through the associated Slack channel. Having access to other professionals within the wider community of those currently training, and those who have done the training in the past, was a bonus I had not expected - and was delighted by. The content of the course is delivered at an easy pace to achieve within the 3 months of access - there is actually only 4-5 hours of online content to complete, plus 5 reflections - and several opportunities to join meet-ups with others in the cohort and a couple of mentors. This means that there is plenty of time to explore what others are doing with ECD, to read some of the reading suggestions mentioned in the course, and to "play" with ECD both personally and with others while you are doing the Course. I thoroughly recommend it for boosting your confidence in becoming a facilitator of workshops... and also exploring other ways of using the ECD.
Andrea H.
I absolutely loved completing the ECD online Masterclass. Jeremy is incredibly passionate, authentic and lives and breathes his work. An absolute inspiration. I love weaving ECD into my daily life, work and family. A highly versatile game which is a game changer in life. I'm proud to have become an Elephant Rider Practitioner and loving the richness of conversations I now have talking about the F (feelings) word.
Katharine Huska
I found the Masterclass course very helpful and a genuine experience. I felt that at the end of the course my confidence grew as did my excitement.
Nuzee Nawaz
Can't recommend it highly enough. It's very easy to follow, love the format, quality of videos and resources/tools provided are amazing. The masterclass provides all you need to successfully start leading these workshops, the rest is practice and being creative with the application. The masterclass is so much value for money!
Anne Sauget
Loved it! The combination of Jeremy�s specific messages to/talks with the online viewer combined with the selected videos of an in-person training session provided the in-depth understanding of the material � and its potential � that I was slightly concerned would be missing from an online course focusing on the human side of the workplace. The cost of the course was money well-spent, and I am now able to immediately take what I learned and put it to practical application.
Anne Sauget
I found this to be an awesome tool to help us think about introducing certain thoughts, ideas, feelings and themes while we are looking at elevating the EQ within our company culture.
Vanessa Taane
The flexibility to do this course at my own pace, from either work or home made this a great learning experience. The online Masterclass Meet up was a fantastic opportunity to meet and interact with others who are also doing the course provided additional information and the opportunity to start seeing the ECD in practice.
Melanie Court
This masterclass was definitely the missing piece that I was looking for in terms of human centric. The way the game is put together is a perfect toolkit for me to nudge conversation. It is an amazing game as it is a playful way of showing that talking about "the inside" of our humans is not scary and will definitely help to make them aware. Tried to explain this at my current job and it was too abstract for them until I got the game printed out and actually did this with them they saw they value of this. Absolute must have when you want to dig a little bit deeper.
Cathy Sheppard
I liked it very much, it is a good length and I like that i could dip in when I had the time rather than having to attend at certain times. I also like the meetups, i have attended one and booked on another. I have completed the work well within the 90 days and I think that I would like to go back over some of the sections which i understand i can do.
Richard Huddleston
Loved it . The game is easy to use, can be fun and also can be used in heaps of different situations and for various outocmes that needs to be acheived
Michelle Marie
If you want to change your culture; look no further that the Emotional Card Deck. The ECD process provides a meaningful learning experience that is transformative and brings people together.
Shanon Rieman
The ECD Online Masterclass Course was well worth the money, time and effort! I not only learned how to facilitate the course, I'm walking away clearer about my own goals and needs. I can better identify ways I can build the positive feelings into my role and also better share what causes me to disengage in situations.
Sam O'Loughlin
This course had a fantastic layout. I enjoyed the videos - as a visual learner, this was perfect. I like how there's a foundation for the game but flexibility in how you can run the workshop - lots of different ways it could be used.
Nell Wilson
This is a great way to, at your own pace, understand how to apply the ECD cards and different ways to facilitate and engage with individuals and groups. I am both nervous and excited about taking the process to groups to help them identify their individual emotional needs and how to help groups calibrate in order to understand what their culture can feel like and how to manifest it in their every day processes and choices.
Ashley Andersen
The course was helpful to know how to best and better use the deck. It gave a lot of different scenarios and options for use and walked through those ways in great detail. I wish there was more variety and energy behind the videos- I found myself fading off if I wasn't super focused.
Mark Hamilton Borthwick
The ECD masterclass was an enjoyable and fulfilling experience which allowed me to learn and develop an understanding of the power of our feelings and emotions and how central these are as drivers in terms of productivity and happiness in our work and workspace. Working in the sports industry has allowed me to get an understanding of how sport evokes strong emotions in people. This course elevated my understanding this and offered a way of getting our sports - people to understand how feelings drive behaviour and it supplied a methodology to assist them, (be they players, administrators or in governance), in developing their awareness of this and how they can respond in a positive way to those strong emotions which can in turn impact their performance for the best.
Cathy S.
I am loving playing the game. It makes it so much easier to have some challenging conversations.
Prina Shah
The course was easy to follow, provides great resources and is super engaging! I recommend this course to anyone who works on culture and change. It will enable you to take your conversations to the next level.

Roya Elison
I found the ECD Online Masterclass Course extremely insightful and I am very excited to running my first session. The course covers the purpose behind it very well, as well as the mechanics of running a successful workshop. I especially appreciated the case-studies and stories to see how different teams/companies in various industries are using the game to promote a good culture within their organisations.
Vanessa T.
The ECD is a simple but powerful tool that is versatile and able to be used in a number of different settings.
As a facilitator, being able to empower a team to take ownership of how they feel, develop an action plan to build the culture they want, as well as giving them tools to call out unacceptable behaviour in a safe and mana enhancing way, is a positive and uplifting experience.
Desiree P.
After attending Lotty Roberts' first "Have a Play Workshop" in Wellington I cracked open a pack and got busy setting some intentions with one of my colleagues- he loved it!
Michal P.
ECD is a great way to facilitate difficult discussions and create a space where everyone is valued, heard and respected. During session where we use ECD, there is so much that people learn not only about each other, but also about themselves. And this is the true power of ECD!
Anita Newton
It's genuinely been brilliant. I was a little sceptical before but after working through the master class and practicing the workshop I feel prepared. I'll be using the ECD to support my clients in having quality conversation to enhance the engagement of their teams and recognising the importance of human based conversations at work.

Deanne Gagnon
I thought the course was great. It was really comprehensive, and easy to understand. I liked the explanations around why certain things are done in specific ways (i.e. everyone having their own decks). It was honestly awesome. Such a great resource to have, plus all of the additional canvases that came with it will be great to use!
Michelle Teunis
Such a great course that opened me to new possibilities through the use of the cards, especially in the area of human centred change. LOVE IT!
Deanne G.
I LOVE everything about the Emotional Culture Deck. The masterclass was awesome. I love how everything is broken down into manageable size pieces, the explanations, and case studies. The template downloads are invaluable as well. I feel like I want to shout it from the roof tops and tell everyone I know that they need to be using this tool!
Jessica W.
The Masterclass really opened my eyes to how versatile the deck can be and inspired me to utilize it within the family and my own weekly check ins to start my week on the right foot and helping me to be more in tune with how I am feeling and plan my days accordingly.
Danielle Swain
A very useful, well paced course which provides lots of ideas and tools on how to use the ECD (and more besides). I feel that this will be a useful addition to my development toolkit and will be particularly helpful in facilitating some of those 'harder to have' conversations about feelings. Great to have a fun and engaging way to run sessions to get into ways of changing the culture and behaviours and understanding the needs of individuals and teams.
Shona Wilkinson
The course clearly articulated how to be an effective facilitator of the game. It increased my understanding of how it can be used to help individuals and teams gain insight into how they want to feel generally at work and also in specific situations within their workplace. I particularly appreciated hearing how the game has evolved through trial and error and continues to evolve. The case studies and resources shared were very useful in helping me visualise how I can use the game within my organisation.
Helen B.
I'm learning to use the ECD beyond my own personal work-life self-supervision, and supervision with supervisees... another space I'm hoping to be able to use this (and the Wellbeing Deck) is when involved in mediations and/or coaching within a commuity mediation service setting. Time will tell... but at the moment, I have several friends who are self-employed sole operator business people, wanting to "have a go" and help themselves reflect on their touchpoints for building the culture they want for their businesses (in their customer facing spaces) - even though they may be the only ones working in them - and their own self-compassionate work practices. It's an exciting tool to work with - and I learn something for (and about) myself every time I shuffle through the cards. Thanks Jeremy and Riders and Elephants, for making the process so user-friendly and accessible to those of us who don't have a background in HR but simply want to be better human beings!
Juliette Ledoux
Good mix of theory and practice as even thaugh it is an online masterclass, we can experience some of the essential points by using the cards to self reflect on our own emotions.
Rachel Small
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will be sharing my learnings far and wide! The video content is super accessible, the Slack community is so supportive and I love the way that self-paced learning is complemented by virtual meet-ups with other course attendees.
Voula Roussos
As a learning professional myself, I went through the masterclass course also assessing the learning experience (on top of learning about the ECD). It was in the top 3 self paced courses I have participated in. I felt engaged, motivated and interested throughout. I am now competent and ready to apply what I have learnt with groups.
Danny Kwan
It is powerful yet simple to learn, easy to pick up as a game. At the same time it is very practical and I feel no less in learning the ECD through Online than by face to face. I love the self-paced method as I have variable free time in my work. I have time to think about each section and I can do small research on something particularly caught my attention before I move on. Another thing I like is the community. I asked a few questions through Slack and got feedback by the team, Jeremy specifically, with other learners in the course. And the network includes other ECD masters, specialists, practitioners, well classified into different channels. This is another success of this course. Thank you Jeremy and his team for all their hard-work. I am really appreciated and feel contented all the way through.
Leslie
Course was just the right amount time. Easy to follow. May have included more ok now you try to see uses with getting familiar with the deck. Also when the audience asked questions, repeating the question/comment would have been nice bc I couldn’t quite make out the guestions/comment.
Kathy Smith
The ECD Online MasterClass Course was really well done and provided all the materials and guidance needed to confidently run the ECD workshop. The training is broken down into bite-size pieces that allow the participant to move forward at their own pace depending on the time they have available. The community aspect through SLACK also provides extra support and opportunity to ask questions or explore new ideas. Am looking forward to hosting my first workshop!

Wes Lyons
Overall, it was great! Easy to do, follow along and complete at your own pace. The content was enough that gave good "instruction" but also gave creative freedom when doing the workshops. The videos were helpful, and the content downloads is packaged nicely to find things easily. If someone is on the fence regarding doing the class, I would say it is definitely worth the time and investment.
Jo Fitzgerald
It was a good course. Easy to follow and understand. Great to be able to self-pace. Great resources.
Jodie Shelley
I enjoyed the course. I started it as soon as I could and I had completed it just days later. I found the bite sized videos really easy to consume, even when time poor. I enjoyed seeing the % completed number climb upwards. I liked the videos and the stories.
Jane Hemingway
The masterclass gave an insight into using a useful tool to help define the organisational emotional culture.
Ming Hui Cheng
This course gives confidence to the importance of building an emotional culture in the workplace. It's super easy to follow and after this, you can get started in no time!
Lyncia Podmore
I really enjoyed the course. It is nicely spaced and I completed it in a day- easily- with lots of tea breaks. I thought the videos were a great length, I don't think there was one that went over 15 minutes- you could complete the course on the train going to work. Thanks for the case studies and the demonstrations at the board and going "granular" with the timing. That will be really helpful
Dana Arzani
I loved the ECD Online Masterclass Course. Great Step-by-Step Videos, great templates and tools. Very well suited for those who already have facilitation experience. Good structure and really well paced.
Andrea Hancox
ECD Masterclass is an absolute game changer. I love the fact that is it online as you can break your learning into 1 hour sessions and then reflect between sessions over a couple of days. In an all day in person course, you don't necessarily get the opportunity to learn at your own pace and reflect. The course is incredibly inspiring and the most engaging course I have ever been on!
Donna Jones
In addition to the amazing support you get FOR FREE with the ECD, the Masterclass will give you more tips and tricks to really maximise the potential of your people - to connect at a 'real' level and cut through the superficial. Really understanding what motivates and demotivates people, using the ECD, helps me as a leader, know what to focus on when creating a team environment.
Sharon Perry
I thought the ECD Masterclass has enabled me to be focussed and confident in delivering this workshop as part of my consultancy
Pani Herekiuha
Its a course that starts with a strong foundation and takes you through the process of building knowledge and confidence section by section. Insight, intelligence, interpretation and implementation are all covered in the course. Its a journey that grows with you and helps you define where you will take it next. It gives you the skills needed to set sail and also a bunch more options to experiment with as you ride that elephant.
Sebastian Stahn
The ECD Online Masterclass Course explains step by step how to facilitate culture talks within teams. I like the approach to start discussing feelings which we want to experience and which not. This leads to a common ground and understanding how the team culture should be build and maintained.
Jessica Worden
I appreciated learning from Jeremy how the deck evolved and how to effectively run the workshop, as well as utilize all the various tools that are made available through taking the Masterclass. The reflection exercises were fun and helped me to thoughtfully process each section of the course as I finished it. The course was easy to follow and filled with tips and tricks for how to successfully manage group dynamics while facilitating the Map your Emotional Culture Workshop.
Amy Stinnett
The course was quite informative and really went into how to effectively use the card deck and the canvases in various ways. I enjoyed the online format which allowed for self-pacing as well as pausing and rewinding the videos when there was something I really wanted to capture.
Julie F.
I have used this deck with work colleagues and family with powerful results. I love how it helps people really connect to their inner drivers and becomes a core tool with reconnecting to yourself when making decisions.
Marcus Ward
This was a great option for travel restricted people looking to learn more in Covid times. Really expanded out the practical application of the toolkit beyond the cards
Sean Foster
Highly recommended for all coaches/consultants that work in the areas of culture development; engagement etc. The etc is simply because the ECD can be used in so many different ways within the business. If you need to develop people or teams then RCD should be part of your toolkit.
Natalie Boswell
The ECD Online Masterclass Course provides Facilitators with a great tool to help humanise the workplace. The cards and canvas help teams to build their emotional culture, this can help drive culture change from the bottom up. The courseware was easy to navigate and all of the tools are visually appealing. The research papers were interesting and contemporary. Overall i enjoyed this course! Thank you.
