We’ve all heard of emotional intelligence – now find out about how to use your social IQ to make friends, influence people and succeed in life

• learning ways to stand out from the crowd
• developing socio-perceptive skills, including how to build charisma, self-awareness and empathy

• the power of reciprocation: if you scratch my back…
