I love Conni Stock
I love Conni Stock ❤️ She is so honest, and she helps me talk about why I built Zenhao Academy.
I built it for Salesforce leaders who
🍩care about the work that they do
🍩care about the humans that they work with
🍩care about leaving things better than when they came
And now, with the help of Piyusha Pilania, we are building it for those in the ecosystem who
🍩want both the leadership confidence AND the technical expertise
🍩know that the best solutions happen when you understand people AND systems
🍩are ready to bridge the gap between soft skills and technical mastery
That was what was missing.
With airtime being taken up by news about AgentForce and all things AI, it is easy to feel anxious about the future. We aim to address that by putting together a membership community that helps you stay ahead of change instead of being overwhelmed by it.
While everyone else is panicking about what AI might replace, we’re focusing on the human skills that make you irreplaceable – the confidence to lead through whatever comes next.
Because when the technology keeps changing, the professionals who combine technical mastery with genuine leadership will always be needed. ❤️
We are doing a soft re-launch of the membership with the doors opening 1st October. Each cohort is limited so that we can provide the focus and attention you need to succeed.

The next evolution of Zenhao Academy
The next evolution of Zenhao Academy membership community will launch on 1 Oct! 🥰
To date, I’ve focused on the human aspect of consulting and project delivery – such as delivering excellence through deep communication and leadership skills of emotional intelligence.
But we will be levelling up the membership with technical sessions as I partner with Piyusha Pilania – Salesblazer and Slack Community Leader and champion for this soft relaunch!
We’ll be admitting 25 new founding members to help us shape what this community will look like when we formally launch on January 2026 – as we deep dive into topics that you care about, getting practical with role plays, skills practice, and hands on experience with functional and technical content. ❤️
We get to practice our skills in a safe space, as Darius Tracy talks about the weekly practice of listening and questioning.
Spaces are limited to 25 people per cohort, so get on the waiting list now so you won’t miss it when the doors open!

“Drowning in our own black holes in our head and heart.”
“Drowning in our own black holes in our head and heart.” 💔 Please support Michaela Janikovicova by donating to #Samaritans, or getting a ticket to her first Muay Thai fight!
Everyone fights battles that no one else will ever know.
And we all have our own coping mechanism – could be substance abuse, self-medicating, addition to work/porn/destructive habits, OR it could be something that helps our body heal from the inside out.
Her Muay Thai is my Crossfit. ❤️
Everyone needs a physical outlet to channel our emotional energy which will naturally regulate our internal states – in fact, this should be a non-negotiable.
So. I’m getting tickets to support her – who wants to join me
(It’s in East London on 11 October)?
Links to donate and for tickets 👇🏻 – make sure you set the filter to ‘Most Recent’ as LinkedIn hides any comments with external links 🙄
Please dig deep and support her, and our branch to keep the lights on and the phones operational for our callers in need ❤️
If you’re struggling, please call #Samaritans freephone from the UK on 116 123. You don’t have to do this alone. 🌹
I haven’t really doodled or posted very much
I haven’t really doodled or posted very much on LinkedIn in the last few months, except for stuff around #BadAssBA trailblazer meetups or my course or things like that.
That’s because I was burned out. 😣
Releasing 2 books in 1 year, and non-stop travelling and speaking and other community engagements… they were all too much.
How did I know I was burned out?
I didn’t want to doodle or write.
I couldn’t bear the thought of opening my laptop.
I just didn’t want to do anything.
Talking about #Burnout with Piyusha Pilania and Lilith Van Biesen made me realise I wasn’t alone.
Spotting the signs early is important, because recovery can be a tough road.
The only thing that kept me going was my daily #crossfit.
I’m not as amazing as the other athletes, but I show up and I do the work.
Every. Day.
How do I know I am getting better?
I see funny things and I can draw them again – especially things that happen in the #CrossfitBox.
Slowly but surely, I am on the mend.
#SpaceAndGrace – that’s what we need to give to those of us who expect too much of ourselves and crash.
Try to find the lightness and humour in life, because they make the burden we carry just a little bit lighter.
Listen to this very #ImportantDiscussion here:
Also kudos to Prag Ravichandran for the most epic comment that really made me LOL 😂😂😂
What’s wrong with Ana Crasi‘s video testimonial below? 👇🏻

Apart from the lovely bit at the end that made me tear up 🥲
She doesn’t talk about what’s missing.
After 5 years of running the Zenhao Academy membership community, I’ve heard the same request so many times:
“This academy has been amazing for honing my communication and leadership skills but I need to be able to deep dive into some of the technical issues I am having that my company and colleagues can’t or won’t help me with?”
THAT’S the gap. 🤏🏻
I was very intentional when building Zenhao Academy.
I wanted to make sure it isn’t another networking group.
I built it for the people who actually do the work, the
🍩consultants
🍩admins
🍩business analysts
🍩solution architects
🍩project managers
🍩business analysts
🍩…everyone in the Salesforce trenches.
When you move from consultant to manager, or developer to strategist, or when you’re stuck between companies, or facing a challenge you’ve never seen before – you want to be around people who genuinely care about your success.
Not because they want something from you.
But because they’ve been where you are. 💜
I want to build the community I wish existed when I was figuring it all out alone.
And now with Piyusha Pilania in my corner, I can finally bridge that gap. 🥰
We’re relaunching Zenhao Academy with something that’s never existed before: a membership community that combines the peer support and leadership development with hands-on professional and technical problem-solving sessions (along with skills practice and role plays everybody loves 😁).
Think of it as your professional family + your technical brain trust, all in one place.
The soft (re)launch kicks off on 1st October.
Be a founding member and help us shape this community for when we formally kick off on 1 Jan 2026!
I’ll be posting more details in the coming days.
Get on the waiting list now – deets in the comments below 👇🏻(Make sure you filter by ‘Most Recent’ as LinkedIn hides anything with external URLs 🙄)
P.S. Ana’s testimonial really did make me emotional. When someone says your work changed their life… that’s why we do this. ❤️
Wehey if you caught me
Wehey if you caught me and Justyna Krajewska and Stephanie Herrera at #TDX25 wearing these Kindness tees from Shirtforce … They are now available so you can now get your own!
