“When you have a small team, everyone is working really hard but it doesn’t necessarily mean that people are connecting in ways that build trust and familiarity.” - Malika Jacobs
Hey you wild woman!
My next guest founded Kingmakers, which offers virtual, board game-centered experiences through our Team and Enterprise Solutions, as a brick-and-mortar game parlour in 2014, and today oversees day-to-day operations across all functional areas and across the team.
She is highly adaptable and naturally curious about designing high-functioning workplaces where employees love to work, and is proud of the team she’s built and the vibrant vision her team has brought to life. She’s passionate about solving problems and bringing people together, something that often goes hand-in-hand. Malika understands that businesses thrive when their employees flourish autonomously and collaborate with ease – through Kingmakers, she fully embodies the sentiment that teamwork makes the dream work.
In this week's episode, The Power of Play and How to Build Trust in Your Team, we're talking about all things team bonding and building. Things like:
How Kingmakers shifted their business model at the start of the pandemic to accommodate a virtual working environment.
How businesses are using Kingmakers to harness the limitless and unstoppable power of joy and connection.
Why team bonding is so important to businesses.
How small businesses can leverage virtual team building to build a stronger connection to their teammates.
Malika’s prediction for virtual team building in 2022.
What it means to be a WILD woman:
“Being ok with the choices that I’ve made, knowing that they are enough, and trying to turn off the noise about what other people think I should be doing.”- Malika Jacobs
