Emotional Leadership Development Course
This isn’t about managing emotions. It’s about leading with them. Traditional leadership courses teach models. This one teaches presence, vulnerability, and emotional impact. You’ll learn how to establish the emotions your people need to thrive, and how to show up in a way that inspires trust, connection, and performance.
Learn more here >Emotional Change Strategy Course
Most change management focuses on tasks and timelines. This course zooms in on what actually blocks change: how people feel about it. You’ll learn how to map and shift emotional patterns during change, and design strategies that help people move from resistance to engagement. It’s change leadership that starts with emotion, not a timeline.
Learn more here >Emotional Stakeholder Engagement Course
Traditional stakeholder strategies often focus on processes. We focus on people. In this course, you’ll learn how to lead with feeling. Shaping experiences that spark loyalty, connection, and deeper impact. It’s about crafting meaningful moments that people remember.

Crafting Course
Forget top-down values lists or culture clichés stuck on posters. This course shows you how to actually shape how people feel at work. It’s hands-on, practical, and built around The Emotional Culture Deck. The world's most popular culture tool used by thousands to craft team culture from the bottom up. No long-winded theory. Just human conversations that lead to meaningful cultural shifts.
