About the episode:
In this episode, Michael and Gail dive into why enablement is more critical than ever despite AI hype and recent industry upheaval. They talk about how enablement teams can prove their value, why building confidence and removing obstacles is at the core of the role, and how AI can actually empower enablement professionals to be more strategic instead of replacing them.
