From Stammering to Stages — My Journey of Not Giving Up

How I turned my biggest weakness into my biggest strength

💙 Beyond Career — A Life Mission

Enable. Empower. Elevate.

This isn’t just a tagline.
It’s how I try to live every single day.

From classrooms → to conferences
From stammering → to stages
From self-doubt → to self-belief

One thing I’ve learned:

Challenges don’t define you. Your courage does.

💙 Gratitude to the Community

A big thank you to the Salesforce Trailblazer Community, Salesforce, Tableau, and Slack communities 🙏

Over the last 5 years, these communities have:

• Given me a platform to shine
• Helped me find my voice
• Trusted me to share, speak, and lead
• Allowed me to support and uplift people like me — and many others

Because of these communities, I didn’t just grow in my career…
I found my purpose.

This journey gave me more than a career — it gave me purpose.

💬 The struggle that could have stopped me

As a child, I struggled with stammering.

• Speaking in front of people felt impossible
• Even introducing myself in class was scary
• Interviews felt like mountains

Honestly… many times, I thought of giving up.

But I made a decision early:

“I will not stop.”

Instead of hiding, I worked on myself — slowly, consistently, and patiently.

And today…
I stand on stages, speak at events, and share my journey openly.

🚀 My journey so far

I’m currently:

• Tableau Ambassador
• Salesforce Marketing Champion
• Founder & CTO — Vivaansh Consulting
• Salesforce , Tableau & Slack Community Leader
• CMX Delhi Diractor
• StartupGrind Diractor

With 14+ years in IT, I work across:
Salesforce | Slack | Tableau | Marketing Automation

I’ve been fortunate to speak at platforms like:
Dubai Dreamin’, MC2 Delhi, Salesforce Dev Days, DataDevDays, DataFamLive, Google Developer , MongoDB , CMX and many community events.

But titles are not what matter most to me.

🤝 What truly drives me

I know how it feels to:

• Doubt yourself
• Fear interviews
• Struggle to speak
• Feel “not enough”

That’s why I focus on helping:

• Students from small cities
• Women restarting their careers
• Job seekers who feel stuck
• People with speech challenges

Because I’ve been there.

📊 DataFAM & Community Mission

Becoming a Tableau Ambassador wasn’t just recognition —
it was responsibility.

I strongly believe:

“Data should empower everyone.”

Through my initiatives, I try to:

• Conduct student workshops
• Help freshers build portfolios
• Guide career switchers
• Mentor individuals with confidence challenges

I don’t just teach tools.
I help people believe in themselves.

🌱 A message to anyone struggling right now

If you feel behind…
If you feel stuck…
If you feel like you’re not good enough…

Just remember:

Your background does not decide your future.
Your consistency does.
