What are interpersonal skills?

Interpersonal skills help us to engage, interact and build relationships with other people.  They are necessary in order to thrive in school, at home and at work.  Interpersonal skills are also known as social and emotional skills, soft skills, or life skills.

Through life experiences, interactions with family, friends, teachers and coaches, you have been in a continuous feedback system that helped you develop your interpersonal skills.
