Maria Huemmer on finding balance within a thriving Salesforce career
In today's episode, we're joined by USA based Lead Salesforce Solution Architect, Maria Huemmer. Having originally come from a non-technical background, Maria talks us through what initially attracted her to a career in Salesforce, the career moves she made to get there, and how she continues to progress in her development. As a Salesforce professional within the consulting space, we discuss the reality of consulting, her experiences, and dig into whether there are misconceptions around a role within Salesforce consulting. Maria holds firm life values and clear goals, and we discuss how she approaches selecting the organisation which is going to align with them best, and how she maintains balancing Salesforce consulting with family life. We talk about how organisations can attract working parents and strategies people can adopt to find balance with their work and home lives, whether that's parenting or outside interests they're passionate about. As Maria holds a number of Salesforce certifications, we also talk about certs, her approach to them, and whether the CTA path is the right one for her. A must-listen for anybody on the fence about a career in consulting, or if you're struggling to find balance in your own role. Make sure that you follow Maria on LinkedIn to stay connected and if you have any questions, then she's happy to chat with you online. We hope you enjoy listening to her story!
