Purpose of the Tool
This tool helps you lead honest, meaningful conversations with your key stakeholders. It’s designed to uncover how people actually feel about working with you or your organisation. What’s going well, where there’s tension, and what could strengthen your relationship. Use it to build trust, spark real insight, and improve how you show up for the people you serve.
How the Tool Works
The guide walks you through a simple, emotion-first check-in conversation using The Emotional Culture Deck. Here's how it works:
-
Start by choosing black cards to name the positive emotions in the relationship
-
Share the stories behind those emotions to highlight what’s working
-
Then pick white cards to surface the tougher emotions in the relationship
-
Reflect together on what could reduce or manage the negative and boost the positive
-
End with an open conversation to share anything else on your mind
This guide can be used in a 1:1 stakeholder check-in, in a coaching setting, or as part of a broader relationship review process.
Outcome of Using the Guide
By the end of the conversation, you’ll have clearer insight into how your stakeholders are feeling, what they value, and what they need from you going forward. It’s a small, human moment that can shift the entire direction of your working relationship. For the better.
