Kay Sargent

It's the incomparable...

Kay Sargent of HOK.

She will be my featured guest next week.

Please tune in for that and share these podcasts.

I'm Caroline Murphy, an interior designer, future Gen Engagement Lead, and someone who has made a career out of asking people in design the questions I wish someone had answered for me sooner.

Before I jump into today's interview with Kay Sargent, I want to talk about something I think our generation desperately needs to hear.

You do not have to be doing everything all the time.

Gen Z has somehow convinced ourselves that being a successful, well-rounded person requires approximately 47 extracurricular activities.

Your job isn't to become the person who can somehow do everything.

It's to get better at recognizing what matters right now, letting the other stuff be imperfect, and riding the wave until the season changes.

Today's guest is Kay Sargent, a designer, strategist, author, and one of the most influential voices shaping the future of the workplace.

Kay is a senior principal and director of thought leadership for interiors at HOK.

[upbeat music] Hey, folks, welcome back to the show.

It's me, your host, Mike P, and I am excited to introduce you to another new friend here on the podcast, but someone who I have known a little bit about here recently because she is part of the greater Phoenix chapter of IFMA.

In fact, she's the immediate past president from that chapter.

Shout out to all my friends in Phoenix, the Tempe, Arizona area.

And she's gonna be joining me in Anaheim for World Workplace 2026.

But today she is gonna tell us a little bit of her facilities and asset management story here on the Asset Champion Podcast.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

In this episode...

Today, the two guests that we have with us, we're very excited to have Kay Sargent, the director of thought leadership at HOK Architects, and then we are also joined by our own Noelle Daly, who is our chief compliance and standards officer.

So before we go on to the questions, I wanna give you a little bit of insight as to how we came up with the name for this series.

So Mobility Mojo has just launched our new neuroinclusive measurement tool.

That's so like

... yeah, I think we can start the pre-order list for that, uh, r- right now after this.

Kay, um, Kay Sargent, director of thought leadership for HOK, and Noelle Daly, the compliance and standards officer at Mobility Mojo, thank you both so much for sharing all of your knowledge and all of your insights and expertise in this area-

Thank you
