The Culturevating Leader Workshop

Culture isn’t written in your business plan or strategy documents. It’s felt in the habits and rituals of your everyday interactions.

If you’re a founder, you already know the pressure of building a business and now you're building a team too. Unlike corporate leaders, you don’t have an HR department or senior manager checking in on you. It’s on you to lead — and to figure it out as you go.

The workshop is truly hands on learning, exploring individual, team and organisational responses to leadership and exploring multiple drivers that inform that response mechanism. Giving you the space to pause, reflect, and recharge.

In one-day we will help you:

• Lead with emotional clarity, not just operational pressure
• Build a team culture that performs without burning people out
• Connect with other founders and new leaders who are facing the same challenges
• Leave with practical tools you can put into play the very next day.

How we do it:

Being a part of The Culturevating Leader Workshop, you’ll learn to use the Emotional Culture Deck (ECD) and transformative resources to help individuals and teams navigate the emotional complexities of leadership. You'll leave with actionable tools and techniques to build strategies so you can lead effectively through emotional connection. The workshop is truly hands on learning, exploring individual, team and organisational responses to change and exploring multiple drivers that inform that response mechanism.

It’s leadership learning with an edge.

It’s self-care disguised as strategy.

And it’s exactly what most founders never make time for — until it’s too late.

What is the Emotional Culture Deck?

The Emotional Culture Deck (ECD) is the number one game in the world for better workplace culture designed and created by Jeremy Dean of riders & elephants.

What you’ll take away

By the end of the day you will:

• Define the emotional culture you want to build in your team
• Discover which leadership behaviours create trust and performance
• Learn how to stop ignoring the “emotional data” that drives your people
• Create a blueprint of actions and rituals to shift how your team feels — and therefore how they perform
• Leave with new connections, stories, and strategies from others who get the founder’s reality.

Who it’s for

• Founders taking on their first employees
• New Directors and Managers leading in an SME
• Founders with established teams who’ve been “too busy running it” to invest in their own leadership

Agenda (9:30–3:30)

Facilitator

Sarah Dena – Founder of The Culturevators.

Sarah works with leaders and teams across professional services, SMEs, and start-ups to shape cultures where people thrive. She believes emotions are data, not fluff — and that the best leaders obsess over culture, not just performance. Sarah and The Culturevators have run programmes with global professional services firms as well as ambitious local businesses, always with one mission: to inspire the next generations of Culturevating Leaders.

Why now?

Because culture doesn’t wait until you’re ready.

Your team and clients are already feeling something. The question is: are you leading it, or leaving it to chance?

Final word

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”– Maya Angelou
