- Add value to your clients and organization as an implementation consultant through a hypothetical project example

TL;DL (Too long; Didn’t Listen): 3 Actionable Takeaways
- Be honest about what you know and don’t know – the expectation isn’t to know 100% of everything, but to be resourceful in figuring out options
- Don’t assume that the next promotion you get will automatically give you empjoyment – take the time to understand the key aspects and responsibilities of the role to ensure they are aligned with where you’re looking to head next.
- It’s OK to plan and move towards your goal with calculated risks and incremental actions taken consistently over a period of time
But wait there’s more! Share your #1 takeaway with today’s featured Empjoyee and other Empjoyees in the Empjoyment community!
