Our topic this week is emotions and moods. Emotions are short-lived feelings that come from a known cause, while moods are feelings that are longer lasting than emotions and have no clear starting point of formation. Emotions can range from happy, ecstatic, sad and prideful, while moods are either positive or negative. Do you think emotions and moods differ among gender? Ethnicity? Age? Are you astutely aware of your own emotions or moods, and does your awareness help or hinder your professional development? Your relationships with others? Describe your experience witnessing others emotions and moods (professionally)? Please offer examples..
