Feedback on my work

Mom would be proud…

“…the glue that binds us”

It is exceedingly obvious that Bill puts all of his effort and energy into making this team and this project a success. Almost every week that has passed since Bill joined the Global KM Team, I have noticed small (and large) improvements in how we operate as a team, how we deliver, how we communicate and how we think about what we are collectively doing and building.

It is this thoughtfulness and painstaking attention to detail that is a key factor in making our team successful. Bill is the glue that binds us and the jackhammer that propels us forward. Additionally, Bill has been superb as our solution owner and helps put the walls up when there are asks from every direction that, if we let bleed into our current workstream, would most certainly derail our timeline. Thanks for keeping us on task and on target, Bill!

“…takes ownership”

Bill supported an RFP response at the State of Colorado for their Accessibility Audit. Bill was incredibly instrumental in helping to craft the solution and supporting an Accessibility SME from another market. I was most impressed by Bill’s get it done mentality and he was continually jumping into the proposal to write sections based on team discussions.

I have found that the first draft of a proposal is often times that most difficult but this was not true with Bill. He was thoughtful and collaborative during recurring check-ins and he took on the initial drafting of nearly all of the core solution pieces. His writing was aligned with the tone and voice already included in the document and was exactly what I would expect from a seasoned RFP writer. Bill’s ability to take ownership and get the work done helped us to have a strong proposal that was aligned to the client’s needs and did not require lots of rework or time outside of normal business hours. I was incredibly grateful for Bill’s work on this proposal and would look forward to the next time I can work with Bill.

“…shares credit for work well done”

Bill is a challenger, a skilled motivator, ethical, decisive and exhibits comfort working in the gray. He was open-minded and trusted me as the subject matter expert in change management and was always available via chat / call / email to provide additional information, alignment, and clarity on expectations. He understands the strengths of his team members and leverages their knowledge as a skilled project manager. He shared credit for work well done and continuously encouraged team members to participate and contribute at their highest levels.

Bill’s way of working specifically celebrating small wins and sharing credit for work well done motivates the team to keep winning. This demonstrates recognition and respect for team members. I am so grateful that I got the privilege to work with such a talented and experienced leader. It’s been such a pleasure to work with him, I look forward to more opportunities in future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Coffee or tea?

Will happily drink both, but prefer freshly-ground, locally-roasted coffee beans for a daily pour-over. Ozo Coffee selects the perfect bag o’ beans for my taste. Life is too short for crappy coffee.

What do you do for fun?

Hiking and downhill skiing are my go-tos, sports that go well with Colorado living. I’m not quite as care-free on the slopes as I once was though, so now hang out on the blues & blacks, leaving the double-blacks to my daredevil nephews.

And of course, photography has been a lifelong passion.

Any daily habits?

Besides coffee, and cleaning the cats’ seemingly always-full litter box, I’ve had a daily-ish morning meditation practice since 2015. Continuously developing my self-awareness and mindfulness reaps daily benefits.

What’s one thing you’re working on about yourself?

I found I’m more successful when approaching work and new ideas with an open, spacious, curious mind instead of a constricted, closed one and am grateful for continual growth here.

Where can I find those case studies you mentioned?

Right here! (A password is required.)

What’s the best part about long-term camping in an Airstream?

Well, it’s not the spaciousness!

Stepping outside at night to gaze at the vast Milky Way galaxy amid the billions of stars out there is amazing and awe-inspiring.

Is it true you hugged a nuclear reactor control rod?

When naval nuclear reactors are shut down, the reactor compartment’s safe to enter for a short while. Hugging the center rod was a rite of passage for “nucs” serving in the U.S. Navy.
