It seems like the two skills should go together. The ability to understand and interact with others effectively must include the ability to relay understanding, knowledge and ideas through communication... right?

And being "good" at communication (ie getting your point across) but clueless about how you are affecting others would be deemed "bad communication." 

Which then made me wonder why we teach "communication skills" when in reality what is likely needed is interpersonal skills.

Fortunately, Daisy Cedeño MS, Karen Loomis, Michael Davis and Dr. Cole Galloway joined me to explore where communication and interpersonal skills meet or diverge. 

What do you think? Can you have one without the other and if so, what might be the result?
