From internally developed Workday training, Slack Channels of experts, Office Hours to address specific challenges to brown bag sessions, there are always growth and learning opportunities. I have never felt uncomfortable asking a question or asking for support. There is always someone willing and able to step up.

What do you like about your job and the company?
There has not been one day since I started working at Kognitiv that I have not learned something new about Workday. Every day offers fresh challenges and learning opportunities. One great thing about Kognitiv is that, although consultants have focus areas, we can work on any areas that we want, knowing that we have a wealth of knowledge and experience at our fingertips. I have never worked with a smarter and more knowledgeable group of individuals in my career. The learning opportunities are endless and that provides a very fulfilling career for me. I also love the fact that my Manager and Kognitiv leadership understand my career aspirations, and offer a career path on the individual contributor level knowing not everyone wants to be a manager some day.
Greatest achievements
I'm still fairly new to Kognitiv, but in my first week I took over an Advanced Compensation cycle for a consultant who was departing. I was able to step in and provide seamless support to the client (with the entire company at my disposal for help along the way) and the client had NO idea that it was my first week on the job. From new hire to supporting an Advanced Comp cycle for a client with over 3,000 employees in the merit cycle in just one week!! That's a pretty big achievement.

I believe that being bold and being a risk taker is the main driver to success here. In reality, there are many WD consultants out there and not much separates one consultant from the other. The one thing that you have in your capacity is to be bold and to take risks in your solutions, consulting and interactions. Say yes when others have said no to something, go that extra mile to bend or shape the system to make it work for client needs. Ofcourse you must always manage expectations but taking that extra step to take initiative and problem solve when their is seemingly no solution out there will set you apart from others. This will build solid relationships with clients and help you highlight yourself at the organization and pave the way for growth.

I am not sure where I would be career wise if I did not push myself to stay curious and continue to learn new skillsets. In and outside of work I love trying and learning new things, currently trying to learn French!

I've always wanted to be a Workday Consultant - But, when i joined in an entry level position was very new to Workday. I could not understand a word in it. So, foreign - such that i was recounting my decisions of stepping into Workday side. a lot of errors & escalations. I realized that i should give myself 3 months a 100% effort - if i was unable then i will rethink about my career on the 4th month. For some reason my mind refused to give up - in that 3 months I've spent a lot of time mastering the skill - that's when i realized "Learning is the Key" - Truly post 3rd month i can't believe myself - I've been doing so well. Am Glad i gave myself a Chance and i never turned back again. Not just Professionally - Personally too - Its never too late to - Believe in Your Magic and Give Yourself the Chance to Shine.
