Emotional Culture & Team Dynamics

 
Too many organisations don't care how their people are or should be feeling at work. Yet studies show "Emotional culture influences employee satisfaction, motivation, connection, engagement, burnout, teamwork and even ‘hard measures’ such as financial performance and absenteeism."– HBR

Hi, I'm Lauren.

I'm passionate about creating human-centered workplaces where people are highly engaged, motivated and able to perform at their best. 

I'm a certified Emotional Culture Deck practitioner.  I love this fantastic tool, and its power to help you define your emotional culture, increase empathy and connection, reduce conflict and improve team dynamics.
