Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Skills

The importance of developing and maintaining good interpersonal and intrapersonal skills cannot be underestimated. Good communication is essential to developing and nurturing good relationships. Many people have some understanding  of the need to communicate effectively with others, but take for granted  the one voice always with us, our own. We can tune out the noise of distraction and negativity of others, but that constant voice within, we are forced to listen to any and every time it processes our thoughts.

Knowing how to communicate with ourselves is a prerequisite for effective communicating with others. Self awareness is a critical component in this equation because we all know from experience that our emotions and feelings impact our thoughts, interactions and actions.
