About Michael Tristan

Energy | Innovation | Results As an accomplished Sales Enablement leader, I love taking employee performance to new heights. What might be unconquerable performance gaps to some, I’d call opportunities to change the game. The Performance Improvement, Enablement, and Instructional Design space is my playground and a customer-obsessed mindset guides my every move. Let\'s connect and make some \"Aha\" moments happen.How I set myself apart:User ExperienceI stand in the learner’s shoes to make every decision. From content to visuals to usability, my work’s not done until the high learner satisfaction scores are coming in. I love taking content from “hard-to-learn” or “dry-to-discuss” to fun and compelling! Performance MetricsI believe Enablement and L&D professionals have a responsibility to demonstrate the bottom-line impact we create, using numbers to tell the story. Creative Problem-Solving Evolving our industry (Enablement) means thinking about old problems in new ways, welcoming constraints as they lead to creative solutions, and continuously testing new approaches that reach learners exactly where they are. I try to put this into practice every day.Leadership As a manager, I find joy in sharing everything I learn with team members. I trust them with tasks that push them to be greater. My greatest career achievements thus far are centered around the success of my team. I live to develop others!
