Being able to communicate effectively and build great relationship at work are essential to your success.   Maya Angelou once said, ” “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

What this means for you is if you want to improve your communication skills, you must also develop your interpersonal skills as they go hand in hand.
