In this episode of Enablement Uncanned, host Jack sits down with Phil Laslett, founder of Move Forward Consulting and a veteran in tech sales, alliances, and enablement. Phil shares his unconventional journey from selling books door-to-door in the US—dodging dogs and facing rejection—to leading partner enablement strategies that help tech companies drive real revenue growth. The conversation digs into why most partner enablement programs fizzle out, the importance of building confidence at every level, and how focusing on the right partners can make all the difference. Phil also talks about his work as a children’s author and how the lessons he teaches kids about confidence and resilience apply just as much to sales teams. Whether you’re in sales, enablement, or just curious about what it takes to turn potential into performance, this episode is packed with practical insights, real stories, and a refreshing take on what it means to empower others—without the fluff.
