some question a bout volvab

One of my friend had helped me greatly in improving my "people skills".

"People skills" is the professional term used to describe how to deal with people and communicate with them.

People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts (a ggod book on people skills)

做人處(柱)事方面 進步左可以譯為：
improve my skill to deal with others.

全句是：
I like to say that one of my friends influences me a lot. He/she makes me to improve my skill to deal with others.
