I could not wait till Monday to share that my CEO update went really well. I did not own any slide, but still came across as the leader orchestrating through my intentional POVs/insertions in each section and even the CEO asked me for my personal opinion towards the end of the call. I had multiple people reach out to tell me how the call was probably one of the best status updates run with the CEO. I am thrilled for next time and creating this impression. Even my VP called me and slow-clapped on how I played the "optics" on the call very well. Thank you again!!

Wanted to send you an update on the meeting with the CTO. It went really well and he talked about how he wants me to focus on leading the Annual Planning for my product after GA. It was great. During the meeting he also praised my communication skills and how he loves the way I present. It was great to hear that. I think it’s because of your help Nancy that my communication feels elevated. I still struggle to “elevate” it on my own.

My keynote went well. People and customers walked up to me and thanked me for the presentation. I initially thought they were just being nice - but then realized all I had to do was understand the one thing they wanted to know and make sure I covered it and paused on it. For the first time in my life I did not have jitters stepping on a stage. Even though it was a first it felt like I was always made for these stages. Thank you!! Again I don’t think it was just keynote prep but all the work we did last year.

Nancy, you’re the Oprah of product leadership. You've got a gift for asking the right questions, being present in the moment, and shaping the story as it unfolds!

I have seen a lot of content in terms of Product.
There a few aspects to it I realized:
🎳 Product Thinking : A problem-solving methodology for developing solutions for user problems
🎳 Product Sense : The ability to understand a product's needs and what makes a product great
🎳 Product Mindset : A way of thinking that focuses on creating product solutions that provide real user value
🎳 Product Strategy : A plan that explains what a business wants to achieve with a product or feature
🎳 Story Telling : The art of creating the emotional connection, engaging in user empathy, explaining your why and bringing forward the solution in terms of the product you are building and the ability to build yourself up to:
🎰 Build the Product Muscle
⏱ Understand the way to think about solutions as Products
🛎 Interview for a PM Role
It made me curious about Nancy Chu's Coaching Program on AllTakes (And I attended the version 1 of it)
lnkd.in/gUw8VAuC
A few things she is sharing as part of her course:
🔑 The PM Mindset
🔑 User Empathy
🔑 Solution Positioning
🔑 Mock Product Sense Interview
🔑 Office Hours & AMA
and a couple of sessions with
Diana Chen (Product Executive, Previously at ebay, Amazon and Lyft) and Minal Mehta ( CEO at Alltakes) who talked about their journey along the way
A few things that I noticed that were different:
🔍 The Program evolves with the Coach Nancy Chu's interaction with her cohorts
🔍 The alumni are welcome to come back, unlearn, relearn and add value to themselves and to the future cohorts
🔍 The AMA sessions which focused more on the cohort and getting individual feedback on where they were at and where they wanted to go next
🔍 The size of the cohort was small and intuitively so to ensure engagement and participation
A few of my takeaways that might be useful to you as well:
🐦 Spend most of your time in Problem Space(Define it, Understand what the Pros and Cons of it, Learn about your Unknowns)
🐦 You will make mistakes, most choices you make are going to be two-way (You can always roll them back or create solutions to alleviate the problems you come across on the way)
🐦 Think about Your Solution Space (What are you solving for, What is your maketplace, Why are you solving it now, What problems are you creating by solving this?)
🐦 How do you Quantify Success (What are your key goals, What would you want to accomplish as part of creating the results, Identifying the root of it, Understand the Criterion)

ProductBC has posted this amazing talk Nancy Chu gave the other week on story telling. It's Product Management focused but relevant for anyone who is looking to inspire others to act.
This is one of the better presentations I've sat through recently.
