workshops work 208 - Facilitating F-Word Conversations with the Emotional Culture Deck with Jeremy Dean
Emotions are messy — they’re big, powerful, and changeable. Facts and data are much more palatable — they’re truths and we can discuss our use of them.
But if an organisation is so focused on cognitive culture, they end up neglecting emotional culture. And that’s a sure path towards burnout, resentment, and employee turnover.
Cognitive culture is easy to default to, so how can organisations get comfortable with the discomfort of building a more emotional culture? Jeremy Dean has plenty of ideas — and a deck of cards to help any group navigate the process.
Find out about:
- Why we need to be brave to share our emotions at work — and why it’s worth the risk
- How prioritising simplicity helps people get in touch with their emotions in unfamiliar spaces
- What happens when we label our emotions with positive and negative language
- How to facilitate daring conversations at work
- Why we should celebrate the person who makes the first move
- What to do when you’re facilitating a game as a beginner
- Why it’s harmful that corporate culture prioritises cognitive culture over emotional
