There’s not always a lot of information available about social intelligence. The discipline is relatively new and that means often it can feel like there’s nothing to measure your approaches and strategies against. No one for you to ask questions to when you come up against problems.
It can be lonely. Often you may be the only social intelligence professional in your team or even your company. Even other marketing professionals don’t always understand what you do.
At the Social Intelligence Lab, our mission is to change that. We’re bringing together people all over the globe working in social intelligence to provide community, share experience, and cultivate ideas.
