Author Rikke Østergaard, known for the books Vi havde en fest på arbejdet, men så kom Preben and Befri Preben, takes you through the latest research on social intelligence and emotional contagion in this talk.
The evening looks at why moods spread through a group, how to understand the different types of people you work with, and why stress is often shaped more by a bad atmosphere than by workload. Her aim is a smoother working relationship and more energy in everyday life.
Rikke has a background as a mental health expert, leadership consultant and sociologist, and specialises in stress, conflict resolution, collaboration and workplace happiness. She is Denmark's first business sociologist and has guest-lectured at the University of Sydney's leadership academy.
