105. Workshop Reflections: Unraveling Leadership and Team-Building with Molly

Leadership isn't just reserved for those with fancy titles. In a small company, everyone is a leader of sorts. To discuss this and other thought-provoking leadership truths, my business BFF, Molly Anderson is here today! We recently attended a development workshop together and it truly opened our eyes.

We're diving into the magic of in-person team building and social gatherings, explaining how they lay the foundation for a strong team. The core of it all? Communication, connection, and relationships. Molly emphasizes how these factors are the foundation of any team. We've even got you covered on the benefits of bringing in a consultant to facilitate a development workshop for your crew. You won't want to miss our recount of "The Spy Game," a captivating team-building exercise that opened up a world of understanding among the teams.

If you're ready to unlock your leadership potential, gain a fresh perspective on communication, or fuel personal development like never before, grab your earbuds and tune in to the full episode!

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
