For this special episode of Humans of Salesforce, Claire Rowley, who leads employee engagement at Salesforce and recently marked her fourth anniversary with the company, hands the mic to a guest who has known her a lot longer than that: her 11-year-old daughter, Alison. Recorded in the Dublin tower, it’s a conversation about Salesforce Adventure Club, the annual event Claire’s team dreams up and Alison has been attending for years, told from the only perspective that really counts: a kid’s.
For this special episode of Humans of Salesforce, Claire Rowley, who leads employee engagement at Salesforce and recently marked her fourth anniversary with the company, hands the mic to a guest who has known her a lot longer than that: her 11-year-old daughter, Alison. Recorded in the Dublin tower, it’s a conversation about Salesforce Adventure Club, the annual event Claire’s team dreams up and Alison has been attending for years, told from the only perspective that really counts: a kid’s.
Alison walks through her earliest Adventure Club memory, this year’s AI, Adventure, and Fluency theme, and her graduation from craft-table attendee to craft-table helper, building spaceships and rockets with the younger kids. She shares what she took away from the Adventure Club AI class, gives Slackbot a live try with a question about shopping in Rome, pitches her dream activity for next year, and offers first-timers some straightforward advice about showing up at the office.
