So what are people skills? And why do these skills matter in this age where communication is more focused on texting and messaging?

People Skills are a set of skills enabling a person to get along with others, to communicate their ideas effectively, to resolve conflicts, and to achieve personal and business goals.

One issue of having information at the tips of our fingers all times is that you can get any answer to a question, anytime and anywhere, by simply typing it into a mobile device or computer. Many have not learned to branch out, ask questions and connect with other humans to learn and gain people skills.

One of the most important factors in gaining influence and achieving success, is developing strong, positive, and effective people skills.

So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating International People Skills Month:

Learn to ask great questions that people are excited to answer and then listen attentively. You will engage at a much deeper level than the superficial ‘how are you doing?’’

Be authentic. Authenticity breeds trust, and trust breeds relationships.

Engage with a story. The secret to persuading people is to tell an effective story. Connect to their head, heart and soul.

Be contagious. A bad mood impacts those around us. A good mood, full of energy can produce more energy in others.

Employers often seek out those who have these strong interpersonal skills as they have the ability to work collaboratively, communicate effectively and display the commitment and work ethic that they require.
