Your emotions are contagious. Your moods, your attitudes, your feelings, all leak out and infect the emotional state of those around you.
So if you're about to have a difficult conversation, your state matters. How you show up and what emotional tone you set for the meeting, makes a difference.
If you decide it's just a regular conversation, (until it's not), it could end up being.... just another regular conversation.
BUT, if you have decided it's going to be a HARD conversation, and you are nervous and stressed about it, your anxiety will become contagious. The other person will feel instantly on edge when they enter the room, because they will feel that something is not quite right.
In this interview excerpt on the fabulous 'The Get More Success Show with Warwick Merry CSP, I share more behind the research and behavioural mechanics of emotional contagion.
