Professional Development, Career Fulfillment and Options: Key Takeaways from Wendy • Don’t judge your enjoyment/fulfillment by your first 1-4 years in a full time job.

• You may be productive, but the work isn’t necessarily representative of future years. Think of it as your second college degree and be thankful for the work. Focus on learning/skill building and let your work ethic set you apart.

• Your career is constantly evolving, and taking risks may be necessary to get where you want to go.

• This may include turning down opportunities that appear to be a promotion (short term vs. long term thinking).

• Only you really know what you enjoy the most, & your priorities, which change. • Be intellectually honest – it makes decision making easier.

• You are more likely to be highly productive if you enjoy important components of your job. You are also more likely to be happy.

• BUT work is work – that is why you get paid 

• Be true to yourself and your interests, but understand what various business/industries value (pay attention to the market and re-tool as needed to continue to be valued).

• Particularly important if you are highly specialized 6

About Koch

• I’m not here particularly to promote Koch, or working in private industry vs consulting or the range of options you may have available to you.

• It’s where I work, and I think it provides a relevant example of career choices within large multinational companies.

• My perspectives fall against the backdrop of my experiences, which career-wise are at Koch.

• Speed-overview- happy to talk more about the company during Q&A or after class.

Professional Development, Career Fulfillment and Options: Key Takeaways from Wendy Don’t judge your enjoyment/fulfillment by your first 1-4 years in a full time job.

You may be productive, but the work isn’t necessarily representative of future years. Think of it as your second college degree and be thankful for the work. Focus on learning/skill building and let your work ethic set you apart.

• Going from college to full time work was a challenge for me. • Some weeks I was completely overwhelmed by a project I’d been given

with limited direction and urgent time frames (not for lack of care – everyone is busy, my supervisor was often traveling). • At times “project managing” consultants who had 15-30 years more experience.

• Other weeks I was bored, unsure if what I was doing was even useful, and wondering what a “normal” time to complete certain tasks might be.

• I had limited input in what I was working on – I didn’t have “specialty” skills so I got the work that nobody else wanted or had time to do.

• No preference on vacation or holidays. • Generally at office 11-12 hours per day, not including when traveling. • I wasn’t connected to how what I was doing was meaningful outside of the

economic outcome/risk management aspects (environmental).

18

Professional Development, Career Fulfillment and Options: Key Takeaways from Wendy Your career is constantly evolving, and taking risks may be necessary to get where you want to go.

This may include turning down opportunities that appear to be a promotion (short term vs. long term thinking).

• Some of my best career decisions were to turn down an opportunity that was clearly a short-term upgrade or not aligned with my directional interests. • These are the decisions that were most helpful to seek counsel on from those with an

external perspective, who knew me the best. • I have taken on roles where at least some component of the role resulted in

performance failure. No risk = limited reward. • Most failures aren’t permanent set-backs. Handling set-backs in a professional manner

may actually get you ahead in the long run. • I have seen role scope reductions in many senior leaders for a wide variety of reasons. • Many times there is mis-alignment between interest, capability, and the role, or the

needs of the role change. These changes may spur you to make a change in direction, or to step up your game on self-education. Either way, your Mindset Matters.

19

Professional Development, Career Fulfillment and Options: Key Takeaways from Wendy Only you really know what you enjoy the most, & your priorities, which change. Be intellectually honest – it makes decision making easier.

• Be careful about other’s expectations – even if well meaning, they can create pressure to head a different direction than what will really be beneficial. • Application of Pro’s/Con’s for career opportunities is a simple way to evaluate

fit. These lists often include a lot that relates to your personal life. • You don’t have to share all of your reasoning if you do select out of an

opportunity. • Most situations for me, I knew quickly if it was not a fit, but I churned over

the decisions (stressed) based on other’s expectations. • If you make a choice that you think wasn’t the best decision, it’s not the end

of the world. People move back to old roles before finding new paths.

20

Professional Development, Career Fulfillment and Options: Key Takeaways from Wendy

You are more likely to be highly productive if you enjoy important components of your job. You are also more likely to be happy.

BUT work is work – that is why you get paid  • Every role I have had I’ve loved, but there have been parts/pieces that I’ve

truly disliked.

Be true to yourself and your interests, but understand what various business/industries value (pay attention to the market and re-tool as needed to continue to be valued).

Particularly important if you are highly specialized • The role that I am in today didn’t exist as a career when I started at Koch.

Things change, so should you. • Rate of technology change is high, but that’s not it. You can’t expect to

continue to progress in your career if you aren’t adding tools to your toolkit. Having only 1-2 really great skills is limiting, and potentially risky.

• “Soft skills” can be developed through involvement in a wide variety of opportunities – don’t expect your workplace to just “develop you”.
