Most enablement careers are told the same story: L&D roots, a training-heavy remit, and a ceiling somewhere below the leadership table. Paul's path went the other direction, ending up as Chief of Staff to his CRO. This session traces exactly how that transition happened and what it signals about where enablement can sit within an organization when it's positioned as a strategic partner rather than a support function. Key takeaways: - The specific shift in scope that moved Paul from L&D into a strategic role - What a CRO actually delegates to a Chief of Staff, and why enablement backgrounds fit - Signals that your own function is positioned as strategic versus purely operational
