Interpersonal skills are the life skills we use every day to communicate and interact with other people, individually and in groups.
Interpersonal skills include not only how we communicate with others, but also our confidence, and our ability to listen and understand. Problem solving, decision making and personal stress management are also considered interpersonal skills.
