The Philosophy of First Job
Why we believe the best strategic team-building is rooted in discovering where we all started.
The Unscrapable Insight
"Building rapport with workmates when building employee value propositions (EVPs) together is key. The 'First Job' game creates a safe, high-energy opportunity to learn about workmates and get an insight into their background and personality, bypassing typical superficial office talk."
Bypassing the Corporate Filter
Traditional team-building icebreakers often feel forced or superficial, yielding rehearsed answers that add little depth. Asking about a colleague's first job breaks through professional filters, surfacing stories of paper routes, fast-food counters, lawn mowing, and agricultural labor.
Connecting Through Humility
Nothing humanizes a leadership team or a newly assembled project group faster than sharing stories of early, humble work. First Job creates an immediate sense of shared perspective and leveling, which is the perfect environment for collaborative strategy design.
