Intrapersonal and Interpersonal

 


  We are living in an era where having strong hard skills is commonly seen as the key to getting a better job. There are a lot of hard skills out there that we can learn either free or paid. However, when it comes to specific roles and levels such as emotional intelligence, we need more skills to succeed. Intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. Those skills can benefit most aspects of our daily life. 

  The main difference between interpersonal and intrapersonal is that interpersonal happens between two or more people whereas intrapersonal happens within one's own inner self. Intrapersonal is also known as self-communication. Interpersonal and intrapersonal are two terms that often refer to communication. 

  It is very essential to learn those skills since good intrapersonal can help build and maintain both personal and working relationships with others, while interpersonal used every day when we communicate and interact with other people, sometimes referred to as social skills. Moreover, there are other benefits between intrapersonal and interpersonal.


Let's start with the benefits of intrapersonal first:

  Good analytical skills. Visualising and seeing problems in different directions are our intrapersonal communication. You can identify options and alternatives on how to move forward and judge the outcome and likelihood of those different aspects. As a result, good analytical skills can lead to good perception.

  Improve decision-making skills. If you have the capacity to think the decision through and weigh aspects and consequences back and forth, it is basically part of the analytical skills. You are more likely to understand the consequences of different decisions as well as if not taking a decision at all. 

 Empathy others. Understanding the situation of another human being is a large degree a case of intrapersonal communication. Deciding what to ask as the next question depending on the previous answer is an act of intrapersonal communication. Hence, being skilled at intrapersonal communication will likely make you better at understanding others in a good way.


Now, move on to the interpersonal:

  Teamwork. In the workplace, groups of employees who can communicate and work well together have a better chance of success and achieving common goals. Being a team player can help you avoid conflict and improve productivity. Whenever the team member does give their opinions or advice, listen carefully and react positively. This is one of the particularly significant in the workplace.

  Conflict resolution. This skill can help to resolve issues and disagreements in the workplace, whether they involve a personal and a colleague or other parties. This might involve skills such as persuasion, negotiation, and understanding both sides of the argument. Good conflict-resolution skills can lead to a more positive and collaborative work environment. They can also earn a respect and trust of colleagues. 

  Good listening. Active listening is the ability to pay full attention to someone when they speak and to truly understand what they are saying. You engage with the speaker and show back the feedback by giving verbal and non-verbal responses, including eye contact, nodding, and smiling. Active listening is important for communicating effectively and preventing misunderstandings at work. 

  Interpersonal and intrapersonal are two terms that sometimes appear similar to most people. Whether interpersonal or intrapersonal, these skills help us navigate relationships with friends, colleagues, and family members more effectively, and manage stress levels by understanding what is bothering us without overreacting emotionally. Keep in mind that these skills are essential in our daily life. Thank you for your time and as always have a nice day 😀.
