Meet our independent coaches, facilitators, and leaders, officially endorsed by riders&elephants. They’ve trained to apply The Emotional Culture Deck to real-world challenges across culture, leadership, change, and stakeholder engagement.
Certified in one or more of our four ECD Specialist Pathways, Culture, Leadership, Change, and Stakeholder, our Consultants & Masters are authorised to deliver official ECD Courses, bespoke workshops, and immersive learning experiences.
Our ECD Certified Consultants & Masters work across a wide range of industries, using The Emotional Culture Deck to support leaders, teams, and organisations to craft emotional culture, lead with emotion, navigate change, and design emotionally impactful stakeholder experiences.
ECD Specialties & Status Tiers
Each ECD Certified Consultant & Master has completed our comprehensive Certified Consultant Development Programme. To move along their ECD Certification Pathways and unlock higher status badges, consultants must deliver more ECD Workshops, One-to-One sessions, and ECD Specialist Courses.
As they continue their journey, they gain deeper recognition that reflects their practice, impact, and influence in the field of emotional culture.
Here’s what the Consultant-level badges represent: Â
- Pro ECD Consultant – Proven depth of practice using The ECD in their area of specialty.Â
- Expert ECD Consultant – Recognised for growing influence and consistent delivery of powerful emotional culture experiences. Â
- Elite ECD Consultant – Honoured for the wide-reaching impact and leadership they bring to our global movement to rehumanise work. Â
- ECD Certified Master – Our highest level of recognition. Masters are experienced, generous leaders in our community who’ve demonstrated sustained excellence and deep contribution across culture, leadership, change, or stakeholder engagement.
