When Gemma Went to Dreamforce 2018 – Highlights Part I

After heading off to sleep pretty late on Friday 21st September, we got up early on Saturday morning to make our way to Heathrow for the long flight to San Francisco. I completely over-packed; I wasn’t sure what dresses and shoes I would wear, but also, as everyone knows, Dreamforce means SWAG – and lots of it. This time I...

Dreamforce Madness 2018

It’s been so bloody long since I blogged, my refresh token had expired for WordPress. Oh God, maybe I’ve really learnt something this past year! Today I want to share the impact that Ladies Be Architects has had on my trip to Dreamforce. I’ve been to Dreamforce only once in the ten years I’ve had a Salesforce career. It was...

Salesforce World Tour London 2018 – A Goldie’s Perspective

Wow! What a whirlwind that was! But an incredible one at that. I look forward to World Tour London every year; it’s a key highlight. Seeing friends, learning about new features, catching up with the latest apps – it’s an important part of my year. There have been many fun ones over the last ten years, but previous World Tours...

Salesforce partners: Please rethink your approach to events

Salesforce is a community and there is a large variety of Salesforce events running throughout the year: Connections, World Tour, Dreamin’ community events, the Partner Forum and of course – Dreamforce. When Salesforce began to pick up in the UK we saw the volume of registrations just hit the roof – but I’ve noticed a shift in the people who...

The Impact of User Groups

From day one, in April 2008, I was aware of Salesforce user groups. My mentor at the time, Julie, told me I should consider going along since I was so into Salesforce. What put me off was the expense of getting into London from High Wycombe and the fact I would need to give up my own personal time. As...

Salesforce Solution Design: Success is a Team Sport

I think I speak for many admins and consultants when I say that thinking about a Salesforce solution can be harder than configuring it. By the time you’ve finished gathering requirements, mapping processes and mocking things up, the solution you plan to build is nicely taking shape in your brain. The big question is: how can you be certain that...

VIDEO: Visualising Solutions – How to Communicate Your Vision

Trust and Confidence Aside from building the solution itself, these two things are arguably the most important things you have to build when you’re implementing any kind of new software solution. Think about the last implementation you did – be it an internal or an external project. Your stakeholders have been through negotiations on scope, on price and on quality....

The Crossover: When Cancer and Salesforce Collide

This blog has an unusual name because at the time I started it, I didn’t want to commit to blogging about a single topic. I decided I was going to write about my experiences with cancer, perhaps some genealogy and a little Salesforce. The cancer story got to ten chapters before my goals changed and suddenly I was only blogging...

Why FAILING Identity and Access Management Designer was actually a good thing

This week hasn’t been too good; for the first time in ages, I failed an exam. I won’t lie, I spent two days with my tail tucked firmly between my legs. I was hacked off. But I wasn’t massively surprised. Here’s why. Share This:
