Her Story
About Britney
I got my master's in sports management and started in the sports industry doing analytics and client management, then a marketing firm with sports sponsorships. I volunteered with the National Women's Hockey League as a former ice hockey player. I jumped to SaaS at HubSpot on implementation but quickly found my strengths in enablement, where I've been ever since. Enablement is about finding gaps and building resources, materials, and guidance to help reps achieve new skills. Every day is different.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Britney
01What do you attribute your success to?
My dad, who was my ice hockey coach growing up and instilled in me to never not try something, giving me the confidence to try new things, move across the country, and not be afraid to fail because if I fail, I'm just learning.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
From my mentor: don't doubt yourself, you know what you're doing, trust your gut and go with it. Especially as a female, cut through imposter syndrome. Trust yourself, own it, ship it and learn from it.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Understand human psychology. There is no one degree or path to get into enablement. Different perspectives help. Don't let your background hold you back. Find something you love in enablement and go after it. We're a tight-knit community, raise your hand to learn more. The best enablement people come from non-traditional fields.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
How to leverage AI effectively to help those you're enabling do their jobs better without over-indexing and losing the human element. We're in a balance where LMS is being replaced by AI but the field will always need humans for understanding the psychology of change.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Always be learning - taking a learner mindset, improve, get better, try new things. Give more to others than to myself, lifting up the community does good for mental health. Small acts of kindness matter more than big things.
