Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Get to Choose: Navigating Workday Career Changes with Keith Bitikofer
Q: Are there some roadblocks or common crossroads that people are sharing with you about their career that keeps popping up maybe in conversations?
Keith describes recurring themes such as burnout from trying to master every facet of Workday, the need to set expectations, and the importance of proactively designing a support model and career path rather than waiting to be told what to do.
Be Seen. Be Real. Building a Workday Career That Gets You Noticed
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to stand out and be seen?
Own your domain, maintain consistent handles across platforms, post regularly (headline optimization, engaging content), and engage with others' content to build visibility; start with comments and small posts to build confidence and momentum.
What “Techno-Functional” Really Means in Workday Careers | Shannon Whitley
Q: What can a technical professional do to become more technofunctional if they're not in HR or in a traditional business role?
Develop a strong understanding of business processes, ask why and seek to understand the historical context of current solutions, and invest in learning across both technical and business domains to bridge gaps and avoid misalignment between IT and business needs.
What “Techno-Functional” Really Means in Workday Careers | Shannon Whitley
Q: What made you take the angle that technofunctional professionals should be developed rather than expecting one person to do three roles?
The guest explains it's about the overlap of business understanding and technical capability, not simply expanding job scope; success comes from skills that enable working on multiple things while understanding the business impact, rather than forcing a single person to cover every function.
The Real Work After Go-Live: Roadmaps, Relationships, and Results with Tara Rucker
Q: What is Tara's go-to song to get pumped up or stay motivated?
I'm a Survivor by Destiny's Child, which Tara uses to elevate her mood and feel unstoppable during tough days.
