Coaching Personal and Interpersonal Skills

This 25 page e-book provides you with an essential toolkit for coaching personal and interpersonal skills. It helps you identify the qualities and traits that enhance our everyday interactions.

As a professional coach, you can use both parts of this ebook in your coaching sessions, plus the self-assessment skills compass to identify strengths and talents or areas to focus on. Part one has a focus on Personal Skills and part two looks at Interpersonal Skills, so you have a complete overview of both. 

Personal skills are seen as our ‘soft skills’ or those intangible qualities and traits that enhance our everyday interactions.

Interpersonal skills are seen as our ‘people skills’ and relate to how we communicate with others.

These skills are critical to our success in a range or different roles and many employers look for people with strong personal and interpersonal skills because they can positively contribute to the working environment, communicate effectively and work well with others.

The skills compass will help identify the strengths that can be added to a CV or Resume and will help you stand out when the hiring manager is shortlisting candidates for a role.

Questions to ask when filling out the skills compass
Ask what:

• Would I like to focus on most?
• Are my goals?
• Do I hope to achieve now or in the future?
• Changes can I make myself and what help do I need from others?
• Examples can I think of to support the score I have for each skill?
