What do you like about your job and the company?

I love designing solutions that leverage Workday in a new & unique way. Because I work with so many different clients in different industries, of different sizes, with different requirements I get to flex my Workday creativity every day.

Greatest achievements

My greatest achievements are about mentoring and developing people rather than projects. I have guided clients to be self-sufficient in Workday and team members to advance and achieve great accomplishments.

I would say my top advice is to just build the connection with the client and then the work will go from there. There will be times on a call with a client when you don't know the answer to their questions and that's okay. As a consultant, you won't know everything, it is important to say to the client that you don't know the answer and that you will look into for them. That comes over time and as you build the relationships with the clinet to gain the confidence to do that.

Top Insider Advice

You likely won't be able to step into this role and a new way of life and hit the ground running. My suggestion is to pace yourself. Learn the business and the flow of how things work. You will make mistakes. OWN THEM! You will have difficult conversations. OWN THEM! You will have triumphs that overshadow all. RELISH THEM! Once you have hit your stride. FLY! Take the rest of your team at KOG with you. Learn together. Grow together. Get a mentor early. Reach out and be social as much as you can. Consulting is difficult enough as it is, being 100% remote can add some unexpected rough air to the mix. Know that you are surrounded by like-minded resources that have traversed the same path as you. I would hope that you feel comfortable enough to reach out to me if you find yourself on the other side of the hire date!
