Here’s a situation we can all recall: You have to give a presentation, and it’s time to start creating the slide deck. You begin by opening PowerPoint, making a title slide, putting some bullet points on the intro slide, and inserting a cute picture — and then you hit a wall. You give yourself kudos […]
The truth is: You are already doing design tasks. Your process inherently uses design whether or not it’s on your resume. Choosing a layout? That’s user interface (UI) design. Timing newsletters?

I knew that I wanted to be involved in business since I was 16 years old. However, I didn’t always know how I would contribute. After earning my bachelor’s degree and MBA in Marketing, I turned to Salesforce to develop technology skills, and this created an immediate opportunity for me to change businesses for the […]
Salesforce Admins from all over the world tuned into the Dreamforce Trailblazer Experience, aka DreamTX, in December. DreamTX — a global, 4-day series of panels, demos, and online learning experiences — featured more than 300 hours of content! Did you catch it all last week? No?

I did not intend to end up in technology. In fact, when I first began, I didn’t even know what Salesforce was.
