Beautiful Question 1

How do we help our leaders better lead our teams?
The 'Emotional Culture for Leaders' workshop is designed to bring your leaders together and help them create a better connection and understanding between themselves and with their people, which nudges them to develop and grow.
By mapping emotional culture, we explore the core question:
“What do we want our people to feel (and not feel) to be successful?”
Who Is This Workshop For?● New leadership teams.● Fractured leadership teams.● Leadership teams wanting to improve how they work together.
It's an innovative way to identify how to work better together and improve the way they lead their teams day-to-day.
What Will You Gain?● A shared vision of how to lead.● Greater empathy & team awareness.● Clear actions to create a thriving culture.● A system for ongoing leadership growth.
How Does It Work?Using proven tools like The Emotional Culture Deck, we guide your team to:● Define the feelings & actions needed for success.● Align on leadership behaviours.● Build a culture where people thrive.
By the end, your leaders will leave with the confidence and tools to inspire their teams and create lasting impact.

Beautiful Question 2

How do we improve the culture of our team (in a way that moves beyond values and a superficial ‘tick-the-box’ exercise)?
The ‘Map Your Emotional Culture’ workshop is designed to be a hands-on interactive way for the team to come together to co-create the culture of their team.
Map the emotional culture of your team, explore how you support each other, the culture of your team and the way you work together.
Through this workshop we will help:● Individuals understand their motivations, desires, needs and fears at work, plus those of their teammates.● Build greater empathy for each other.● Reinforce the great cultural things that already exist within the team and environment.
How we’ll run the workshop:● We’ll explore how your people want to individually feel and not feel at work.● Work together to map how the team want to feel and not feel as a collective to be successful (your team’s emotional culture).● Explore how this environment will impact the culture of the team and how they work together day-to-day.
Post workshop. Following the workshop, we’ll meet to:● Review the workshop and share our learnings and insights we gain from the workshop.● Plan potential next steps for how you might take what we uncover and learn during the workshop and keep the conversations alive and embed into the way your team work together.

Beautiful Question 3

How do we get to the heart of our stakeholder relationships and improve how we deliver for them?
The ‘Stakeholder Relationships’ workshop is designed to bring your team together to get to the heart of your stakeholder relationships.
The objective of the workshop is to:● Explore who your stakeholders really are, their desires, fears and emotional drivers. ● Then, generate experiments that you can deliver to improve the experiences you create for stakeholders.
Through this workshop we will help:● Your team develop greater empathy for and understanding of your stakeholders.
How we’ll run the workshop:● Teams will explore who your stakeholders are and identify their emotional drivers.● We’ll explore how your team want their stakeholders to feel and not feel when they’re interacting with you.● Together we’ll map your high-level stakeholder journey.● We’ll explore ways to enhance and improve the experiences your teams deliver to their stakeholders.● At the end of the session, we’ll have completed the Stakeholder Canvas, which describes how we want to collectively lead our people.

Imagine a workplace where emotions shape everything – where teams feel deeply connected, energised, & ready to create magic together. The M.A.P.S. Framework guides your team on this journey, turning disconnected behaviours into meaningful emotional connections.
It starts by Mapping your team’s emotions, unearthing the hidden dynamics at play, and moves into Awareness & Behaviours that spark real shifts in how people engage with each other. With a clear Plan of Action and Sustained Support, this journey leads to genuine Connection & Growth, creating a workplace that feels alive with energy, creativity, & possibility.
As your team progresses up The Emotional Culture Spectrum, you’ll see a shift from isolated individuals to a united team, emotionally aligned and driven by shared emotional values. Emotions become the glue that holds everything together – fostering inclusivity, trust, and psychological safety. This isn’t just about getting the work done; it’s about building a culture where people feel deeply connected and part of something greater.
When emotions are at the core, your team thrives – creating real culture, real connection, and real success.
This is the power of emotional culture: a workplace where people feel great at work.

Jess Salamanca

Startup Workshop at Enterprise Nation’s and HISCOX StartUp Show

Cara was an inspiring speaker at our flagship StartUp Show event – her presentation was thought provoking, energetic and made an impact on our attendees. Attendees shared their business challenges and Cara gave them tailored action steps and ideas, which is a huge bonus for them. On top of providing super insightful tips and advice, Cara was incredibly easy to work with, made sure the presentation was perfect for our audience and spoke in a very engaging manner. We highly recommend Cara as a speaker.

The Business of Emotions completely transformed how we approach emotional culture. Our team is now more energised, emotionally connected, and fully understands how their influence shapes our workplace experience. The values and vibe session was a standout, helping our teams align on a deeper level. If you want to build a thriving, emotionally intelligent culture that strengthens team dynamics, I can’t recommend The Business of Emotions enough.

Jamie Burrows Recruitment Training

Within the recruitment industry, it can be difficult to identify resilient individuals within an interview setting. A mindset that employers are looking for more and more. I asked The Business of Emotions to deliver some online Evergreen training for my clients: recruiters. Cara's insights, methodology and Resilience Scorecard were an immediate win for all recruiters. This was far more than I had hoped for. Professional, creative and impactful.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Cara – AND as a result, she will be running additional training for my client base. When you are putting a business partner in front of your clients – you want to be able to trust them. You want them to do the job, and more! Cara and The Business of Emotions did just that.

Gemma Watts

Marketing Mentor The Whitehall & Industry Group

Cara is one of those rare leaders who reminds you that business is, at its core, human.
I recently had the privilege of joining a Lunch & Learn session she led on emotional leadership and I walked away feeling more inspired, more grounded, and more committed to being the kind of leader people remember for all the right reasons. Cara creates space for meaningful reflection. She asks the questions that matter, like “How do you want people to feel in your presence?” and she does it with warmth, insight and a brilliant sense of timing.
Her ability to bring people together from across the globe and spark open, honest conversation is a testament to her emotional intelligence and deep understanding of what it really means to lead. In a world increasingly dominated by technology and automation, Cara reminds us that emotional intelligence isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential.
If you're lucky enough to work with Cara, expect to feel heard, seen, and motivated to be your best self.

Cara is an outstanding professional!
We recently connected, and I was blown away by her passion for empowering leaders. Her company, The Business of Emotions, tackles the core aspects of effective leadership, going beyond generic training.
Cara's focus on results and her commitment to overcoming personal limitations in leaders is refreshing. It's clear she understands the challenges businesses face today and she is ready to support any company that believes in the value of supporting leadership to flourish.
I highly recommend Cara for any organisation looking to unlock their leadership potential and drive real business growth.
Cara's genuine support and insights were incredibly valuable during our conversation.

I engaged Cara's services when faced with career decision that had a number of pros & cons on each side. I felt that I couldn't commit to a decision, either way, but also couldn't find a way to progress. Cara coached me through a series of questions, including having me describe the options in front of me, bringing depth, structure and clarity to what had previously seemed as obscure and intangible alternatives.
She was kind, curious and thoughtful, allowing me the space to explore my inner-most thoughts and feelings tied to these choices. The outcome of this conversation was quite startling, as the obvious choice in front of me suddenly shone bright with possibility and energy. Decision now made, I can move forward with confidence and conviction. Very happy to recommend!
