Five Team Building Activities that Actually Work.

Why does team building so often get a bad reputation? From awkward icebreakers to forced trust falls, most of us have endured team-building activities that feel more like a waste of time than a path to better teamwork. But when done right, team building has the power to transform culture, strengthen relationships, and unlock real performance.

In this episode, Seth Yelorda breaks down why most team-building efforts fail spectacularly—and introduces five practical exercises that actually work. From a simple two-minute appreciation round to failure parties, reverse mentoring, and cross-functional sprints, these strategies are designed to create authentic connection, psychological safety, and lasting change.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “mandatory fun” or wondered how to make your team feel more connected without the corporate cringe, this episode is for you.
