What an incredibly powerful sentiment. There is a light that shines, special for the emotionally adept. The togetherness of genuine workplace interaction is indeed magical
Thank You! 😊
We can not choose our family but we can choose our workplace. I am fully agree with this statement. However, whenever I went for an interview, the interviewer seems to keep asking the reason you wanted to leave the company. Many employers only think that we unable to adapt to that company, it is our own problem. They have never thought that they need to provide a good working environment to the staffs.
Brilliant.
Great piece. This is helpful
Touched home, interesting.
Absolutely, one particular department in my place of work has a couple of women who are incessant complainers and I always feel drained after being in there. I try to be as positive as I can but others can easily effect my emotions.
Thanks for the video
So good!
Wow 🤩 great

I tried to hold the yawn in, but I couldn't. That was a good TED talk, though.
It’s true-emotions are contagious, and it’s called emotional contagion. Learn what science and research says about how easy it is to “catch” other’s emotions, positive and negative. Sapien heard that laughter is contagious. Older Sapien may have also heard sapien say a sapien are a “sympathetic crier,” meaning if a sapien see a sapien crying a sapien unforcibly start tearing up too, even though sapien don’t have a reason to cry. It’s funny how a sapien "can take on" the emotions of another viewed, as if emotions or feelings are contagious. But it’s true-emotions can really be contagious. It’s called emotional contagion, and sharing emotions tendly happen easier than a sapien’d think. Emotional contagion is simply when a one person’s emotions or behaviors are mimicked by a another person’s. Often times, these emotions or behaviors happen subconsciously. According to “Are a Sapien Catching a Other Sapien's Emotions?” in U.S. World and News Report, upbeat emotions such as enthusiasm and joy, as well as negative ones such as sadness, fear and anger, are easily passed from a one person to a another, often without either "party" realizing it.

There were a lot of stories here, but not actually a lot of facts.
