In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Dean and talk about the power of emotional leadership.
Jeremy is the Founder and Master Gamemaker at Riders & Elephants. R&E makes simple, human-focused tools that reimagine the way people and organisations connect and grow.
As a Gamemaker, Jeremy takes complex concepts and simplifies them into beautifully simple card-based games and tools. All R&E games unlock emotion-led conversations. Their games give people the words people need to shift work cultures, change the experiences for customers and articulate what wellbeing means personally.
In 2018, after four years of development, R&E successfully launched The Emotional Culture Deck. The ECD is a card-based tool used in 60+ countries by over 500,000 people worldwide. Organisations including IBM, Netflix, IAG, Canva, Airbnb, United Nations, Toyota and PWC use R&E games. But with all that being said. His main focus is on his young family ā Jeremy and his wife Becky have three kids under three ā it's beautiful, loving chaos!
Jeremy and I dive into practical strategies for integrating emotional understanding into leadership practices, ensuring that leaders can effectively influence their teams not just through what they do, but how they make their teams feel.

Understand the science behind emotional contagion and how your own emotions can significantly impact your teamās morale and productivity. Learn how to identify the emotions that drive high performance within your team and how to cultivate these emotions intentionally. Discover techniques for handling "undesired" emotions in the workplace, helping you and your team navigate challenges more effectively. How to create an emotional strategy that aligns with your leadership goals, enhancing your ability to lead with empathy. The concept of "strategic emotions" and how to balance authenticity with the need to influence your team positively.This episode is packed with actionable advice on setting emotional intentions and using emotions strategically to lead with compassion and effectiveness.

The importance of leaders modelling vulnerability to teams so they feel safe and empowered to share their own struggles Practical strategies for creating safe spaces where team members feel comfortable opening up How to recognise the early signs of mental health challenges in your team Hannahās personal experience with postpartum bipolar disorder providing a raw perspective on the complexities of mental health challenges. The importance of building supportive and understanding environments in both personal and professional settings.

As leaders, we're often expected to have all the answers, but navigating mental health, both our own and othersā, is not about having a perfect solution. It's about creating environments where your team feels seen, heard, and supported.
If we can recognise the early signs and open the door to these conversations, we can help reduce burnout and stress in the workplace.

In this episode, I dive into some of my more controversial views on leadership that challenge the norm. These opinions are things I have been thinking about for a while now when it comes to leadership.
Why leadership isnāt as complicated as we make it, and how listening more could be the key to simplifying your role. How fixing everything for your team does more harm than good, and why coaching them through their solutions leads to better outcomes. The difference between being kind and being nice and why kindness, with firm boundaries and direct feedback, gets better results every time.
These takes might challenge the way you see things, but thatās the point.
