On any given day, my calendar may consist of calls with my global counterparts to discuss local updates on a particular project, meetings with senior leaders to get buy-in for new programs or initiatives, lunch with the head of a consulting firm to review products or discuss potential collaborations for a divisional leadership conference, or crunching representation statistics and developing presentations. Needless to say, my days are always filled with excitement.

One of my current projects is co-managing the Women’s Career Strategies Initiative, which is a global, five-month program designed to engage and strengthen the retention of our female associate population. Throughout the program, the participants are exposed to many senior leaders and as a program manager I have the ability to interact and build relationships with each of those leaders.

Overall, working within GLD allows me access to our talent management programs that are aimed at developing and preparing our top talent for the next level. Many times I may be in the room to ensure that a session is running smoothly but I can’t help but to listen and pick up some of the great insight and advice that is being shared. As an analyst this is a really unique opportunity.

My role allows me to see first-hand the positive impact training and/or mentorship can have on one’s career. My job may sometimes require early mornings, coupled with late nights – maybe even a weekend or two – but getting an email from an appreciative internal client makes it all worth it! It’s rewarding to know that we have a real impact on the careers of the people that we serve.
