Theron Stanley’s Post

I appreciate this post from Jordan Nelson as it highlights a major theme I see with my clients. Often, they come to me because they have achieved what they thought would make them happy - like a great salary or a certain title, yet they feel like something's still missing. I love working with Salesforce professionals to identify and remove the blocks preventing them from experiencing true fulfillment in their careers. Using a values-based approach, I help my clients gain the clarity they need around their core values to create the success that aligns most with what's important to them. ✨ If you feel like something's missing or not quite lining up, then let's chat!

As I reflect on the past 5 Years at Salesforce. I want to thank Tori Dumont for taking a chance on me in 2019. I want to thank Sarah Keren, Britni Borrelli (Freiboth), Carlos Castro 📈, Nishant Chandra, Sean O'Keefe and Chris Massey for continuing to challenge me. Below I have put together 5 lessons I have learned over the past 5 years as advice for those looking to get to started in Software. 1. Put yourself in your customers shoes. Provide empathy and focus on building the right point of view for them. 2. Know what and when to prioritize. 3. Build your BRAND! No one else is going to do it for you. 4. Collaboration is key. Work as a team, Identify who and how they can help you grow. 5. Balance is critical! Ensure you are able to live a life that is balanced and focused on how you want! Thank you again to all who have supported me and I am excited for the next 5 years at Salesforce!

Dear Network, Today marks my 5 year anniversary at Salesforce, the longest I have ever been with any company ⏳ . Salesforce is all about changing, adapting and creating and I do not lie when I say that there is never a dull moment - neither are there many easy days 😅 . Since 2006 I am loyal to my customer base - the EU institutions 🇪🇺 , later joined by NATO and after that by the Belgian Public Sector 🇧🇪 . Digital Transformation has shaped our private lives over the past years significantly and we start seeing a positive impact in the Government Sector - it is a privilege to be part of this journey. Some of the things in a career that IMO always hold true are: we always (always!) deal with people. Listening to and acknowledging the other person’s position is important. Trust is earned and integrity goes a long way. And as we deal from human to human, be yourself. Being yourself, myself in my case actually, comes with challenges too. With the realization that I really am bad at many things. With the realization that this is ok, as long as I communicate about my weaknesses with clients, colleagues and superiors. It also comes with the realization that after many years in business, regularly ‘muscle memory’ kicks in and one can trust oneself and one’s experience. And, very importantly: it’s OK to be not OK - supporting your team members is paramount. Asking for support is absolutely fine. Because a career is a marathon, not a sprint. Smell the roses every now and then 🌹. There are so many people at Salesforce I would need to mention here as you make my work rewarding and fun - so I keep it at (the slightly lame I know I know...) ‘You Know Who You Are’. However there are three individuals who made me boomerang back to Salesforce three years ago and I want to you to know that I never looked back! Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️ Amy Weaver, Casey Coleman and Kevin Paschuck! In conclusion (of my probably longest LinkedIn Post ever - but I am ready to stand corrected should you dig one up) I am grateful and happy to be part of Salesforce. Would I do it again? Hell yeah! TLDR: Andreas is 5 years at Salesforce and pretty stoked about it 🚀

I make it a point to celebrate every Salesforce certification, new job, and personal milestone I come across. Because sometimes, our inner self-confidence needs a little help, and that extra boost from others can make all the difference. Celebrating these moments publicly not only acknowledges the hard work and dedication of individuals but also fosters a sense of community. It creates a supportive environment where people feel valued and recognized. This encouragement can inspire others to strive for their own goals and share their achievements, creating a positive feedback loop of motivation and support. Moreover, in a world where negativity often dominates the headlines, spreading positivity through celebration can have a profound effect. It reminds us all to appreciate the good moments, no matter how small, and to support each other in our journeys. So, let's keep celebrating and lifting each other up—because sometimes, a little recognition from others is exactly what we need to keep pushing forward.

3 years ago I started my tour of duty here at Salesforce! Since joining, I have grown personally & professionally. Here are a few things I have learned along the way. 1) It takes a village (both internally & externally) to transform an enterprise company's way of thinking. If you focus on the business value and outcomes you are delivering, you can rally MANY people to come together to drive positive, meaningful change. 2) GRIT and PASSION are contagious. In today's environment, having the former is table stakes. You can be talented, confident and "never give up," but above all that, you must believe in what you are doing. Passionate people with positive attitudes are the best problem solvers. 3) Appreciate the come up. Everyone is in a rush for the next promotion or next "big move." Stay present, learn from your mistakes, and embrace the come up because that is what you will look back on one day and appreciate the most.
