But then at a certain point in the conversation, they start working with you to broaden your perspective. they're in an ideal position to help you do that. Problem isn't often happening to them. There's an art to doing this well. So if you're now the person that someone is coming to, seeking support, you start off and, you know, like, what's going on? Tell me about it. Oh, it sounds terrible.

When you see your opening, you know, sometimes, hey, I have a thought. Can I share it with you? Sometimes they might say, no, I'm not done. And then they keep going, right? And other times it's like, yeah, tell me, what do you think?

So you want to be delicate with that because depending on the person, what they're struggling with, some people need to do a little bit more of that emotional work first.

So we want to do both though, right? We want to follow that trajectory. First, the emotional stuff, then the cognitive. The amount of time you need in that emotional zone is going to vary. But now we've just given folks a blueprint for both how to find people to provide them with the best kind of support

And if someone comes to them, here's a roadmap that they can follow to give other people good support. How contagious are emotions? Unbelievably contagious. They can spread within seconds, which is why you should be incredibly alert to folks on your team who may be experiencing emotions immediately.

That if if they spread might not be conducive to the broader to the broader group you know why does this happen why are emotions contagious because in particular when we're in circumstances that we're not quite sure. What we should feel? Other people are a pretty good source of information. So we're constantly referencing other people for info about what the situation is like.

And we're using that information to inform our own reaction. So you get these contagiousness effects a lot where it's not certain how you should feel. And you're more likely to be... infected i guess is the well let's stick with the metaphor um when it's it's someone who is at your level or above your level someone that you um just in in the hierarchy you're more vulnerable to that interesting

Yeah. So you want to pay attention to contagion. And you can use this as a tool as well. You can affect, hopefully positively, other people by trying to come in there with the right kind of attitude that you think is conducive to the goals that you have, if it's a workplace environment or even in your home. Yeah.
