Teamwork is an important part of any relationship. Whether it is family, partners, peers, classmates or coworkers, being able to develop a good working dynamic can be a skill that lasts throughout the course of the relationship. In order to have a productive relationship, you must have good communication skills. Without effective communication skills, working as a team player will be challenging.
Communication is a dynamic skill to build. Some people need to build assertiveness skills. Some need to build directive skills, and others need to improve their listening skills. Each of these aspects of communication can be strengthened with a back-to-back drawing activity.
