Who You Are
You are a proactive, impact-driven enablement professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments. You bring a strong ownership mindset and a bias for action — not just building content, but driving real behavior change through coaching, repetition, and practice. You think in systems but act in the moment, adapting your support to meet the needs of early-career reps and fast-moving teams. You value iteration over perfection and are energized by helping others succeed.
You take initiative without waiting for permission. You seek feedback, raise the bar, and build programs that scale. You believe enablement should be embedded, actionable, and grounded in the realities of the sales floor.
