What is your typical TC day like?

It varies. It often consists of numerous client meetings that I am leading or facilitating. There’s a lot of time that goes into designing and preparing to facilitate meetings and engagements. There are many action items that I track and communicate back to team members. Meeting planning and design or facilitation takes most of the day, and then I schedule heads-down time to prepare for deliverables. My day also consists of a lot of project management; planning ahead, setting goals, targets, and delivery expectations. I often check in with team members as a primary project lead offering one-on-one support and helping to remove any barriers that stand in the way of their success. My goal is to ensure their work and experiences are aligning with their individual career aspirations. Throughout the week, there are a lot of client touch points to ensure expectation alignment and meeting of timelines.

My primary project is supporting a federal agency’s program management office whose mission is to promote the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government. In my role as project lead, I manage a team of 10-12 consultants across multiple work lanes. Additionally, I am responsible for ensuring each lane is set up for success and that we are delivering high-quality services enabling our client to meet their mission. My team delivers value to our client through project management and execution, strategic communications, change management, meeting design and facilitation, and leadership coaching.
