In this episode of Workday Gold, I’m joined by longtime friend and Workday veteran Joe Jackson. Joe brings over 16 years of experience across the Workday ecosystem—serving as both a customer and a consultant. We reflect on our first Workday implementation project together at Wycliffe nearly a decade ago and dig into how those early experiences shaped our careers. From navigating go-live without a public date to solving for complex organization needs before Extend even existed, it’s a walk down memory lane packed with insights.

But this isn’t just about history. Joe shares what it’s really like to juggle multiple clients as a consultant, the reality of being measured by utilization, and the pros and cons of management roles.

Whether you’re considering a move to consulting or trying to decide if leadership is your next step, this episode is filled with hard-earned wisdom, practical career advice, and a few good laughs.
