“You carry a virus that spreads to your co-workers. It spreads wherever you are, but it definitely spreads at work. So, what is the result of the virus you carry?”
In this episode, I talk about emotional contagion and how our emotional and energetic tones are picked up by those around us.
Emotions are contagious. Do you ever find yourself energized and inspired when you’re listening to an upbeat and uplifting story? Do you notice that you suddenly feel depressed or anxious when you are around someone who is negative, complaining, and unhappy?
Thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors carry energy. That energetic tone is picked up unconsciously and is indeed contagious. Tune into this episode to discover more about this phenomenon and how you can better manage your own energy and be more deliberate about the energetic impact you have on others.

Your host is Janet Ioli, leadership and human development expert, sought-after coach and advisor to global executives, and former executive with experience in four Fortune 100 companies.
