A Ball of Emotion “Try and keep your head still,” a soft voice murmured. We all run movies in our minds and our emotions are the result of the part we are playing in those movies.

How do we Mirror neurons also provide an understanding and sharing of emotions. When we see someone pick up a stone, how do we know if it's a threat? Our words shape the experiences of others. Workplace culture (with rare exceptions) seems to be stuck in a time warp that mirrors an old 1970s cognitive psychologists perspective– that they offer no value in themselves, the best they do is just interrupt us so that we can direct our attention to what is really important.
