Putting the F in Culture – Webinar

A couple of weeks ago Jeremy was invited onto the Fully Human webinar by Kate Billing, Founder & Creative Director, Blacksmith.

In this one hour webinar, we discuss:

• how The Emotional Culture Deck came into being
• emotion as the missing link in organisational culture
• using unpleasant emotions as a tool for self-awareness and personal growth
• fearing our own emotions and those of others, like a bomb that could go off at any moment
• the importance of developing a deep and wide emotional vocabulary
• the cathartic and connecting power of emotionally-centred conversations
• reciprocity, vulnerability, and emotional courage
• group affect, emotional contagion, and leadership responsibility
• the power of using ‘a game’ to facilitate emotionally-centred conversations: vocabulary, transference, the familiarity of using cards, and holding things lightly; and
• how little nudges and micro-moments create trust and psychological safety.
