Interpersonal skills refer to a person's ability to operate within business organizations through social communication and interactions, or in other words, business social skills. Examples: working harmoniously with others, responding appropriately to conflict, working in teams efficiently.\n\nCommunication skills refer to how you communicate (talk/write) with others both verbal and written. Examples: do you speak well using clear and concise language, or do you resort to ummms and ahhs and have difficulty getting your point across in words?\n\nThese are all good skills to cultivate as all employers value and require these types of skills.

I posted this as an answer to a somewhat similiar question about talking, starting conversations and friends. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.\n\n\nTo keep the other person interested don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are VERY few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\n\nWell, it's a littly longer than I originally planned to write but I hope it helps you. If you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nFission

Topic A:\nGetting along with other people at work is important because your personality, social skills and edict is returned to you by human nature.  Your non-verbal communication can show others, without talking, how intersted you are in a conversation with them or the subject that is brought about.  Active listening and observation can help you learn about others in your environment, it will help reflect your communication during conversation with some people who may take things differently. Have self-cofidence in the way you carry yourself, it can reflect how other people may treat you.  Speak with proper speaking and/or phone edict; others will understand you better and it shows how educated you are.  The best way to keep your co-workers friendly is to keep all gossip to yourself and use it for your own discretion.  Keep all relationships on a professional level.  Feelings or paticular actions towards certain indiviuals can get others suspicious of harrassment and/or start rumors that you may regret later.  Remember, this is where one may spend about 8 hours per day for 5 days a week; keep a friendly, balanced work environment and you will enjoy going to work a whole lot more than if there was hostility.

We define political skill as the ability to effectively understand others at work, and to use such knowledge to influence others to act in ways that enhance one’s personal and/or organizational objectives. Therefore, individuals high in political skill combine social astuteness with the capacity to adjust behavior to changing situational expectations in a way that appears to be sincere, inspires support and trust, and effectively influences and controls the responses of others.

It depends on what courses are offered in the area in which you will be living in Germany.  I personally find that interpersonal management classes are the best.  Because you can learn a trade on the job in a few days, but it takes practice and seeing cases and examples of how to actually DEAL with people and problems.

Verbal communication is anything you express with words or sounds. Nonverbal communication is the gestures, facial expressions, etc. that you use. \n\nNonverbal communication is just as important as verbal. For example, if someone asks you to do something and you say "Great, I'll get right on that!" and sound excited and get up right away, they'll know you don't really mind. However, if you say that but roll your eyes or look upset, you clearly aren't interested in doing it and are, through nonverbal communication, expressing something very different.

I had to take several seminars on communication when I worked for a local government agency, and this topic was discussed at all of them. We were taught four main strategies.\n\n1. Mirroring. This simply refers to watching what the other person is doing and acting in a similar manner. If they use a soft tone of voice and speak slowly, try and match your speech to their volume and pace. If they use gestures, such as nodding the head to signify understanding, feel free to also nod in understanding as they speak to you. If their posture is casual, such as standing with their hands in their pockets, you can relax your posture a bit was well; if their posture is very straight and stiff, try to mirror theirs. The goal of mirroring is to set the other person at ease. Gradually, as you become more familiar with one another, your own, personal or cultural tendencies will tend to emerge more, but mirroring at the beginning is a good way for you both to establish a safe comfort zone.\n\n2. Body posture. Generally, it is best to practice "open" body posture. Keep your head up, rather than tucked down into your chin, and don't cross your arms or your legs. Try and keep your facial expression as open as possible as well by smiling and maintaining polite eye contact. Opening your body posture is a way of communicating openness and your willingness to communicate.\n\n3. Verbal expression. As noted above in item #1, you should try and match the tone and speed of your speech to theirs. You should also do this with vocabulary. If you are communicating across language barriers, keep it simple. Don't say "enormous" when "big" will do just fine. If you both speak the same language fluently, still make an effort to match your vocabulary to theirs. Don't make assumptions based on appearances, such as talking down to someone because they look like they may not have the same educational background as you do. (Listening to verbal cues, such as how they pronounce words and the fluency with which they express themselves will usually help you out in this department.) Try to avoid slang and regionalisms, as these can cause a lot of confusion. Most importantly, if you don't understand something, politely ask for clarification. \n\n4. Research. This is invaluable, especially if you know in advance that you are going to be dealing with someone from a culture which is considerably different from your own. Going to Japan as an exchange student? Read up on Japanese culture and social customs. People flying in from the Rome office for a big meeting? Read up on Italian culture so you have some idea of what to expect.\n\nThey also taught us that in dealing with people from other countries and cultural backgrounds, there are several areas where it is easy to get into trouble, so be careful about these:\n\n--"Personal space". In the US, "personal space", meaning how close you physically are from someone when speaking to them, is usually 3-4 feet. The tricky thing is that "personal space" varies widely from culture to culture. In some cultures, people maintain a greater distance when communicating, and in others, they get so close that many Americans feel like they are being invaded. It's very hard not to take a step back when someone steps close to you, or not to step closer to them if they step away. Try your best to let them set the boundary, and then try to keep that distance constant. However, if they are so close to you that you are uncomfortable, and cannot concentrate on the conversation, it is acceptable to take a small step back after a few moments.\n\n--Physical contact: Again, this one varies greatly from place to place. Shaking hands can really be a problem. If someone offers you their hand, shake it. If you put yours out first, and they don't make a move to take it, return you hand to your side, don't just grab theirs and shake away. Be careful about touching people of

Significance of communication?\n\n1. Enable person to express themselves and needs\n2. Removes barriers between a person and another\n3. Essential part of comprehension and understanding\n4. Empowering oneself to take part in one to one/group situations\n5. Only way to contribute to self and others \n\nDo not forget to mention active verbal communication (speaking/writing) and non-verbal communciation (Body language)\n\nGood luck!\n\nRos

Start with the interests of the other person. Things they understand. Relate that to the origin of the conversation word... roll with it...
