I find good articles on social skills few and far between. For one, a lot of them seem to feature the same six ideas over and over. Secondly, in the area of “Personal Development”, this topic seems to get much less attention than others. For every ten articles on how to organize your time, you’ll get one on interpersonal skills.
So I’ve decided to host a blog carnival featuring articles only on social skills. That should be a good way to pull all the good content on this subject together.
If you’re not familiar with blog carnivals, basically they’re blog posts that feature links to a bunch of submitted articles on a particular topic. Usually new editions come out every week or two.
There’s more info on blog carnivals here
If you have your own blog, and want to submit an article on people skills to possibly be included in the first edition, you can submit it here
The deadline for submissions is Friday, September the 7th. The first edition will be out on the following Monday.
