#Trailhead4All Philly
Since I have been in the Salesforce ecosystem, I have noticed (and been told that) there has been a serious lack of Salesforce events in Philadelphia other then some great user groups. I wanted to have a great event that would benefit the community at large, but was lacking ideas. #Trailhead4All , the movement to... Continue Reading →
The Bell

Great blog post from Amy Oplinger(SalesforceAmy) about failing certification exams. Too good and relevant not to share especially after my exam this past weekend.
It started with a random question in a DM via Twitter. A fellow member of the Ohana, Brian Naylor, confessed that he has just failed a Salesforce certification exam and was beating himself up over it. Brian asked me if this was common and if I could offer some perspective and advice.
I knew EXACTLY how Brian was feeling. Yes, I told him, I have failed – multiple times! I told him that many people in the community had failed certification exams.
