everyone’s behavior.

cheerful.

people working around you.

make you look severe in your work
environment.

attentive and have a great emotional quotient
when comes to dealing with people.

otherwise in your dealings with people around
you at your work place or when at a social

soul of human relationships.
• Communicating in the right way will help you
build a professional as well as personal
network.
• Appreciate someone when they are looking
nice, give your opinion when asked; oppose
something which does not feel right.

10. • 6. Do not involve yourself in disputes- We
suggest you watch from the side lines.
• It’s not always considered smart to interfere
in someone’s conflict.
• Another important point on the list of
interpersonal skills is to try and be assertive,
diplomatic before you give rise to a dispute
yourself.

ability with the people you come across.

respect, and commitment as both parties
work together to achieve a goal.

• any activity which has been specifically
designed so that students work in pairs or
groups, and may be assessed as a group

• Generating enthusiasm and energy by being
positive, focusing on finding solutions and
maintaining a positive attitude even when

something goes wrong, asking "What can we
try now?" instead of saying, "That should have
worked better.").
