Broadly speaking, interpersonal skill is your
ability to communicate, cooperate, connect,
relate, and work with others. In fact, in any
interaction between two people where information
is being exchanged, including both verbal and
nonverbal communication, interpersonal skills are
in play. Everyone is of course different. You may
know someone with great interpersonal skills, and
another person lacking some interpersonal skills.
People with great interpersonal skills are
generally more successful both professionally and
personally than those without.

• Nonverbal Communication. Just as important as the
  words you are speaking is what your body language
  is saying. Developing your nonverbal
  communication enables you to make a good
  impression, the first time and every time. Some
  of the important aspects are
• Improving our posture
• Using our hands and facial expressions to help
  articulate our point
• Avoid using your phone or laptop when in meetings
• Using appropriate eye contact
• Smiling
• Keeping your hands away from your face
• Nodding to show understanding
• Shaking hands firmly but not excessively

• Negotiation, Persuasion, and Influence Effective
  negotiation is based on trust and mutual respect
  and often results in win-win outcomes, where both
  parties benefit from the result of the
  negotiation.
• Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision
  Making Critical thinking can be defined as your
  ability to take charge of your thinking. It can
  enable us to solve complex problems, both as an
  individual and as part of a team. Just like all
  other interpersonal skills, improving your
  critical thinking skills will help you both in
  life and your career.
• Assertiveness Being assertive is not about
  being forceful, but it is about being able to
  stand up for both yourself and others in a way
  that others can respect. To be assertive you need
  to be open and forthright as to your needs whilst
  respecting the needs, rights, and views of
  others. Because of this, assertive behavior is
  not aggressive behavior.
• Working with Groups Teams Team working uses
  many of the skills we have already examined. It
  involves working within a group, contributing
  ideas, sharing responsibility, being assertive,
  giving constructive feedback, and learning from
  and accepting feedback.
