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 Don’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.
