I don’t have to tell you how easily viruses are spread from one person to another. But just as easily spread are emotions. A colleague may come into the work environment carrying negative emotions generated at home. Be careful, you could easily catch that negativism and then spread it to others. Jessica Woods, an accomplished global business, sport and transformational coach, speaker and author created a TED Talk that could show you how to avoid catching the bad emotions of others, whether colleagues, family members or friends and by so doing avoid infecting others with them.
We are often not able to cheer up someone in a bad mood, much as we might like. But Jessica has specific advice for how to guard against letting them turn your mood sour and potentially passing that mood on to others.
I invite you to spend 10 minutes with Jessica in this TED Talk. It could help to brighten your day today and tomorrow.
