Personal skills define your own personality- ‘how you express yourself’. We need to focus on the various aspects of our personality to project ourselves in the desired way. Anyone can easily tell about an individual’s personal skills- by observing them, how they interact with others in the workplace and everyday life. Some important aspects of Personal Skills are: • Personal skills refer to an individual’s ‘inner’ qualities • An individual, with excellent personal skills, is good in planning, executing and analysing. • The abilities denote their strengths or weaknesses. • They are revealed in those attitudes and behaviours people bring to their work, study and daily activities.
