Impression Management - how we work (non)strategically to manage how others see us

Self Presentation - how we will work to present our 'best possible self' according to context

Face and facework - the lines we negotiate, others give us or let us take in interaction and how they shape our identity(ies)

Dark side of EI - how emotional intelligence can be used to change behavior of others

Principles of Influence - linking to Cialdini's 6 principles (Authority, Liking, Social Proof, Scarcity, Commitment and Consistency and Reciprocity)

This was a joy to record and I hope that you enjoy listening to it.

Yes, it is

a) long

b) geeky

c) academic at times

d) practical at times

It is also a whole lot of fun and you, dear listener, are getting a deep insight into human interaction. ENJOY!!!!
