Nebula Consulting is a company I have admired from the very beginning – their values deeply resonated with me and aligned with my own work ethics. Reading positive posts about Nebula Consulting on social media further reinforced my admiration and respect for the company. Having followed them closely for some time, I was drawn to their expertise, culture and the meaningful impact they create. So for me, joining Nebula Consulting as a Functional Consultant truly felt like a dream come true.
Expertise at its Best
My first six weeks at Nebula have been nothing short of exciting and enriching. Each day has been filled with opportunities to learn, train, shadow and support colleagues. This experience has deepened my understanding of customer interactions and has given me valuable insights into Nebula’s culture, team dynamics and my role within the company.
In my first month, I had the opportunity to meet every member of the Nebula team, including our CEO, Sarah Kelleher and Director of Consulting, Jack Bailey-Grundy. These introductions provided a fantastic way to immerse myself in Nebula’s culture, vision and values from day one. They also played a crucial role in helping me integrate into the team and understand how each individual contributes to our collective success.
A significant part of my learning involved shadowing Salesforce Consultants during weekly customer meetings and training sessions. Observing different approaches firsthand allowed me to ask questions, share insights and gain a deeper understanding of best practices. It was inspiring to see the level of preparation, proactive thinking and seamless delivery that our Consultants bring to every customer interaction, demonstrating expertise and efficiency in action.
Another key aspect of my learning was Nebula’s delivery framework – a structured approach that leverages documents, processes and methodologies to manage and deliver projects efficiently. Through this, I gained a deeper appreciation for how structured project planning directly impacts successful delivery.
To put these methods into practice, I applied them while managing my task of writing my first blog using the Teamwork tool. Leveraging Teamwork’s features helped me organise tasks effectively, track progress and collaborate more efficiently, ultimately improving visibility and accountability. This hands-on experience reinforced the importance of structured planning in ensuring smooth project execution.
Engaging in Learning, Training and Development
Nebula Consulting is truly committed to continuous learning, ensuring that the team is always growing, evolving and staying ahead. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to participate in various team engagements and training sessions, each contributing to my professional development and deepening my understanding of our work.
- Knowledge Share – This is an excellent platform for us to share knowledge, exchange customer insights, best practices and industry trends. Here, I learnt about the new Marketing Cloud Growth and Advanced editions, Elements Cloud as well as Spring ’25 Salesforce release highlights across various clouds. Additionally, our Customer Spotlight sessions provided valuable insights into our customers, their industries and how Nebula supports their success.
- Personal Development – Through our Learning and Development sessions, I’ve been able to identify my strengths and enhance my self-awareness. This has allowed me to adapt my approach, work more effectively, collaborate better with our teams and drive impactful outcomes for our stakeholders.
- Training – Time-Management training sessions have helped me better plan and organise my work, ensuring I prioritise tasks effectively and efficiently as well as align them with SMART objectives. I also completed essential compliance training including Health and Safety, and GDPR among others.
- NebConnect sessions – A fantastic initiative designed to strengthen team connections and enhance collaboration to create a supportive work environment. Participating in these sessions has helped me build relationships, gain new perspectives and feel more connected to the Nebula community.
- Salesforce Certifications – In addition to all the learning and training, I have also been dedicating time to prepare for my Sales Cloud Certification to further strengthen my expertise and deliver greater value to our customers.
Agentforce Hackathon
One of the most exciting milestones of my first month was participating in the Agentforce Hackathon – an incredible opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds at Nebula. Together, we worked on building our first AI Agent, brainstorming practical use cases that could benefit both customers and employees. This challenge pushed our creativity and problem-solving skills, and we successfully developed our Agent.
Building on this success, I also had the opportunity to write my first blog on The Power of Prompt Builder in Agentforce. Contributing to our Agentforce series allowed me to reflect on my learnings and share valuable insights with a broader audience.
The Nebula Culture
Beyond the learning and training, what truly sets Nebula apart is its culture and people. The values of trust, collaboration, empowerment and flexibility are deeply embedded in the work environment. I am fortunate to have a supportive team that provides structure and encouragement, empowering me to grow both professionally and personally. The openness to knowledge-sharing and collaboration, support customer success while focusing on best practices and continuous learning have been instrumental in my successful start to this new chapter. All this has helped me quickly develop the skills needed to thrive in this role.
Looking Ahead
The first six weeks have been a whirlwind of learning and I am excited about what’s to come. As I take on more responsibilities, actively supporting projects and closely collaborating with stakeholders, I look forward to deepening my expertise, contributing to Nebula’s success and growing alongside an amazing team!
