Most organisations and leaders don’t realise or pay enough attention to the critical role emotions play in building culture and the employee experience at work. Instead, they focus on how people think and behave – an organisations ‘cognitive culture’. By ignoring the emotional culture, organisations and leaders are at risk of glossing over a vital part of what makes people and organisations tick. In this podcast Teresa Callow, GM of People and Culture at The New Zealand Merino Company, shares how an understanding of human behaviour and emotional culture has been key to the New Zealand Merino Company’s competitive value proposition and success in transforming the wool industry from volume to value.
She shares her insights on how to develop an effective emotional culture aligned to business strategy, brand and growth. The results are remarkable and surprisingly more achievable than you might think.

If you’ve debated where covid came from, whether Amber Heard is believable, or who should win a recent election – this is a podcast for you.
Polarised opinions seem to be the norm on most things these days. Sometimes these conversations are enlightening and positive. Other times they’re toxic and damaging. So, learning how to express and solicit strong opinions is paramount. Spoiler alert – avoiding them altogether is not the answer. Especially at work.
Special guest Dr Andy Luttrell, social psychologist and host of Opinion Science, shares the fascinating science of opinions. Dr Ben Palmer, EI expert and CEO of Genos International delves into the role of emotional intelligence in managing polarised opinions for positive outcomes – whether at work or home.
Facilitated by Marie El Daghl, MD of Chasing Albert.
Points of discussion include:
What are opinions and how are they formed The difference between strong opinions and weak opinions The relationship between our opinions and feeling part of a tribe Understanding opinion polarisation Insight into ‘unfounded confidence’ The definition of moralised opinions The critical role of emotional intelligence in expressing and soliciting opinions How to be persuasive and outcome oriented when discussing polarised views Positive framing and how it helps you navigate the strong opinions of others. To shut down or not shut down heated arguments around polarised opinions – that is the question. The extent our mindset impacts how we enter discussions with polarised opinions How people higher in EI react when they are faced with a difference in opinion vs. someone with low EI.Learn more about Dr Andy Luttrell here.
