About this site

I'm Aske Bong-Saxe - a Salesforce consultant with over 15 years of experience in the Salesforce space, currently Head of Functional Solutions at Giveclarity.org. We are a Salesforce partner working exclusively with nonprofits. I've led implementations for organisations like Save the Children, UNICEF, and Médecins Sans Frontières.

I started this site because of a gap I kept noticing - not a technical one.

The Salesforce ecosystem has plenty of documentation, release notes, and how-to guides. What it has less of is honest, confident writing about how to consult well. How to hold your ground when a client pushes back on your recommendation. How to communicate clearly when a project gets uncomfortable. How to deliver reliably, repeatedly, without drama. How to turn mistakes into earned lessons.

I've been fortunate to build a strong track record in this space - large projects, complex organisations, tight timelines - and somewhere along the way I developed a fairly clear picture of what good project delivery looks like. I want to share that picture with other people.

Most of what I write is aimed at Salesforce practitioners working in or with the nonprofit sector. But much of it applies more broadly to anyone in consulting who wants to develop not just their technical skills, but their nerve.

If you're a junior consultant finding your feet, or a more experienced one who sometimes lets clients talk you out of the right answer - this site is for you.

P.S. A lot of times confidence requires at least a minimum level of technical expertise. So, there will be plenty of room for technical posts, posts with a focus on governance, and other adjacent topics. Just in case I had you worried for a second.
