Manage episode 440539896 series 2990470
In this engaging episode of Remotely One, co-hosts Rick Haney and Kaleem Clarkson sit down with the multi-talented Kendall Wallace, Founder and Lead Facilitator at Executive Offsites, to discuss her transformative career, her approach to building strong team connections, and her insights into customer and user experience. With a career spanning leadership roles in customer experience, user experience (UX), and remote team facilitation, Kendall brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, and a proud University of Virginia graduate, Kendall began her professional journey in sales before transitioning into the tech world. Her first significant role came at Park Jockey, a startup where she eventually rose to become the Global Head of Customer Experience. It was in this role that she realized the power of user experience in creating more intuitive and efficient digital platforms. One of the key takeaways from Kendall's journey is her passion for building meaningful team connections, especially in the context of remote work. As the founder of Executive Offsites, Kendall designs and leads in-person retreats aimed at fostering communication, trust, and collaboration among distributed teams.
Her retreats emphasize the importance of blending work-related goals with opportunities for personal connection, helping remote teams build stronger relationships and tackle the challenges of maintaining trust and communication.
A highlight of this conversation is the in-depth look into Kendall’s transition from customer experience to UX, a move driven by her role at Park Jockey. As the head of customer support, she noticed recurring issues that could be solved through better UX design. By identifying patterns in customer inquiries, she saw how user-friendly digital experiences could prevent problems from arising in the first place.
Kendall shares her confidence that remote work is here to stay and reveals why in-person retreats are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of distributed teams. She dives into how these offsites can build trust and connection, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Expect valuable insights on designing meaningful team experiences that truly impact dynamics!
Her passion for fostering meaningful relationships in both personal and professional spaces shines throughout the episode. Kendall’s mix of vulnerability, leadership wisdom, and enthusiasm makes this a must-listen for anyone navigating remote work or looking to strengthen team dynamics. Whether you’re leading a remote team or simply navigating workplace challenges, Kendall’s story offers valuable lessons on growth, self-awareness, and the power of human connection. With her holistic approach to team-building, Kendall provides a roadmap for creating stronger, more resilient teams in an increasingly remote world.
