Today we wanted to introduce you to Noah Leyva who is the Sr. Business Consultant with Lawson. Noah has been facilitating the Lawson Core Training sessions for the UNC HC staff. He was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri, is an avid Cardinal's fan and has been with Lawson for 9 years. Here are some questions we asked Noah:
What did you do prior to Lawson?
Prior to joining Lawson, I worked for Ceridian as an HR/PR Implementation Consultant. I was there for 4 years.
What do you do as a Lawson Sr. Business Consultant?
I'm not actually an official trainer. I do trainings occasionally when I am transitioning between projects once they get completed. The majority of the time I am staffed at a client's location conducting their HR/PR implementation through a successful go-live.
What is the coolest feature of the new Lawson System?
You gotta love the "drill around" functionality. You basically have anything and everything you need to know about the employee in one spot. Also, Lawson MS Add-ins is a must have- I don't know how we ever lived without it! Also your employees will love the employee self service once it's rolled out!
What are your top 3 favorite non-Lawson things to do?
First and foremost, I love spending time with my 5 year old son, Carter! I just started taking him fishing and he absolutely loves it. He also loves to play baseball so we play as much as we can- he's a future St. Louis Cardinal in the making!
Being from St. Louis, you have to love sports. It is such a great sports town, especially for baseball so I try and catch as many games as I possibly can.
Last but not least, I love firing up the grill outside and cooking up steaks, chicken, BBQ pork steaks, brats, burgers...you name it! If I could, I would do that daily. There is something that is just relaxing about it to me, don't ask me why.
What is your favorite food and where in the world do you think is the best version of it?
That's a tough one! Probably steak and seafood are my favorite. I was at a client in San Francisco for about a year and a half and ate at some amazing seafood restaurants out there! For steaks, it's hard to beat the Midwest for a good one. Ther is a place called Annie Gunn's in St. Louis and their filet is to die for. Amazing!
Tarheel or Blue Devil?
Definitely Tarheels!!
As the answer to the last question shows- Noah's one smart guy! We are very excited he's with us, especially since he's been making week-long trainings fun. Here is a picture of Noah in action, and now that you know him a little better, stop and say hi to him!
