Become A Better Manager! |

So I’m in this special Nerd program at my school.
I’m now in the older classes (grade 10) and Me and a friend have to organise a 2 hour activity to help grade sevens from the same program develop communication skills. The activity is gonna take place at a hotel thigy in the middle of nowhere so it can be inside, outside, in the woods, in a pool, in a lake, etc.

Any Ideas????

Please!

Just read books to them. That should help…

I am looking for some write-ups on the soft skill development for teenagers. The articles I found on net mostly deal with workplace soft skill development. Are thare any special write-up for students/teenagers?

really? look up exactly "soft skills for teenagers and success" i found stuff there.
good luck! :]

I love Toastmasters because it helps me with public speaking and impromptu skills. Now I need to find a way to improve my interpersonal skills. Any advice?

There are lots of sites below about interpersonal improvement./

I’m 20 years old and I want to know what are good ways to improve my communication skills with men and women. I been given positions in life where I have to be a man, and I really don’t have much expierience doing this, so what are the best ways to help me deal with people?

Be Yourself. This will allow others to do the same…. Putting on an act or a front means that you will have to continue this act, which is extremely exhausting and harmful to relationships.

Just be You. It’s great for your health. Being Yourself is a rare species today.

I have a friend who has almost no people skills, but he is making a six-figure salary with less than four years’ experience. He has a lot of technical knowledge with an Ivy League education. So, if a person obtains an Ivy League degree, does s/he really need good interpersonal skills?

The answer is….it depends.

Top tier education with excellent technical skills can earn a very nice salary. However, without people skills it is very likely that a person with the above is going to be pigeon-holed into that position/career the rest of their life with little growth potential in terms of managerial responsibilities.

Companies, particularly technical ones, are looking increasingly for individuals with technical skills who also are proficient communicators and have soft skills. The reason being that more and more technical jobs require interfacing with customers.

Keep in mind though, that your friend very well could continue to grow merely through his technical skills if his career has an extended career path (assoc., career, sr, principal, fellowship level positions, etc).

What is communication and interpersonal skills? What do many jobs require those skills?
How to improve those skils?

Interpersonal skills are necessary to keep the working environment agreable so employers ask for them!

Someone answered my question from yahoo answer that state a quiet persons do not have interpersonal skill and communication skill and employers don’t want them. Is that true?
In other words, extrovert or talkative people have those skills? And extrovert or talkative people will be hired by employers who need these skills?

It does not matter whether a person is talkative or not. We all communicate and have interpersonal skills, unless we have a disorder like some forms of Autism. So, I would say if you want to boost your skills, practice interview skills. That is when employers are really focused on you. Have a friend or family member practice being the interviewer. By the way these skills are very important, they are the top skills wanted by employers, however as I said above most everyone has skill in these areas, they just have to polish them. Good luck
