How do you become more senior in product management? In this video I introduce the 'zone of impact' concept Which indicates your level of interaction and influence Seniority comes from increased complexity And complexity comes from the number of people you interact with and influence 🧠 How did this short help your understanding of seniority in product management?

Last month, I said "yes" to two incredible opportunities: 1/ Sharing my lessons learned from launching Modjewel® with Fast Company 2/ Being part of a panel on "What Makes a Successful Product Manager" at Tufts University's Women in Tech Conference It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and say no to opportunities that come our way. But, by stepping outside of our comfort zones and saying "yes" to the right ones, we can create valuable connections, learn new things, and grow personally and professionally. I had the pleasure of learning from my co-panelists, Rajitha (VP of Product at Procore Technologies) and Anusha (Executive Director at athenahealth). We discussed the essential qualities of a successful product manager, including active listening and insatiable curiosity. A key takeaway was that "Product Managers are either listening actively to inform product decisions, making the decision, or advocating for the decisions being made." Thanks to Jane for being a wonderful moderator and asking great questions! What opportunities have you said "yes" to recently?

I'm so thankful and excited as I’m about to embark on the Yale SOM Executive Education Women's Leadership Program. As a woman in the dynamic world of CX Consulting and Software Integration, I'm eager to dive into it. I want to focus on: 1. Innovation Amplification - Innovation is the heartbeat of progress. I aim to explore cutting-edge strategies, disruptive thinking, and creative problem-solving. By understanding how innovation thrives in diverse environments, I want to bring back fresh perspectives to infuse into our organisations DNA and continue to have those lightbulb moments together! 2. Human Behaviour Insights - People are at the core of every successful business. I hope to learn more about the intricacies of human behaviour—what motivates, inspires, and drives the team. Armed with this knowledge, I hope I can be a part of and contribute to the ongoing enhancement of our team dynamics, foster empathy, and create a workplace where everyone thrives. 3. Navigating AI's Terrain - The world of AI is both fascinating and complex. As a woman in tech, I'm keen to explore further AI's impact on business models, customer experiences, and decision-making. How can we harness AI ethically? How do we ensure it enhances rather than replaces human touch? These questions will be a good guide in my learning journey. ...And, when I’m done, I hope to be more equipped to champion change within our organisation by: -           Empowering Future Leaders - mentoring and empowering emerging talent, ensuring they're well-versed in innovation, empathy, and the value of AI for our next gen leaders. -           Strategic Integration - collaborate with cross-functional teams to seamlessly integrate and optimise our ways of working, enhance customer journeys and experiences, or drive data-driven decisions. Being at the forefront of progress and partner of choice within our industry. -           Cultural Transformation - Our workplace culture matters. I will always advocate for an inclusive, forward-thinking environment—one where diversity fuels innovation and advances in tech are a force for good. It’s all about creating a legacy that inspires generations to come is it!?!? #YaleSOM #WomenLeadershipJourney #NextGenDiversityInLeadership #MerkleANZ Merkle Aotearoa Merkle Australia

🌌 Thankful for the Journey, Excited for What's Next 🌠 After 8 years at McKinsey & Company, I decided to step away in January with a heart full of gratitude. This period has been nothing short of transformative, filled with memories that have shaped my personal and professional outlook. As I reflect back on this chapter, here are a few milestones and learnings: ⛵ Embarked on a global voyage, partnering with exceptional clients across 16 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia, Israel, India, Taiwan, and Australia. —Key Insight— Trust in yourself. Practice compassion. Be open. Amazing things happen when we focus on what brings us together. 🚀 Co-lead our firm's largest NA event, partnering with 4 NGOs and 19 vibrant student teams in a hackathon aimed at building a sustainable and inclusive future. —Key Insight— The right environment is everything. Pay attention to it and foster it. There is no better investment than the multipliers achieved in creating spaces for deep collaboration. 📸 Took the stage at international conferences, including JSChannel '16 and '17, QCon '22, and QCon '23, enhancing the global conversation on innovation. —Key Insight— The best way to master a subject is to teach it or add to it. Ensure that in learning a new field, it includes putting yourself out there and contributing. 🧠 Co-authored two best-selling books on scalable user interfaces and real-time rendering with WebGL, contributing to the broader conversation in our field. —Key Insight— Writing unlocks your creative potential. Make space for that inner wisdom, and let your inner voice guide you to new (internal and external) discoveries. A heartfelt thank you to all my esteemed colleagues and mentors. Your guidance, support, and friendship have been the cornerstone of my journey. Here's to embracing new horizons and building new things... 🚀 #mckinsey #mckinseydigital #gratitude #newbeginnings

"There are many ways to drive impact and speaking the most number of sentences in a call isn't a good metric." Here is Ananya's snippet. Ananya is a Product Manager at Google, has an amazing gift of words and art. "Connecting the dots in my career, and looking backward is always a great reflection exercise. But a common glue binding those dots has been people in my life- mentors, peers, friends. I have grown as a PM and as a person through a plethora of advice and shared life experiences over the years. I remember not speaking in meetings in my first job unless explicitly asked. I was struggling with imposter syndrome with everyone around me being super experienced and smart. I now recognise the privilege of this fact. I did read books on confidence, and understanding imposter syndrome. But theory is harder to implement. Until a mentor told me, it was okay to not speak in a call. I was surprised by her statement, having led to believe influence is a core skill of a PM and to be opinionated is to be vocal. She patiently explained how I was right and still, it has nothing to do with speaking in every call.  Your job is to get the work done well. So connecting with stakeholders beforehand or after the call is also a great way to build connections and consensus.  There are many ways to drive impact and speaking the most number of sentences in a call isn't a good metric. It was so liberating for me to understand this. My career has been a series of such beautiful conversations. One of the biggest takeaways has been to be that person for someone else, and to pay it forward. I love being a part of communities and connecting with people. That's one of my favourite parts of being a product manager- growing upwards and together! Advice to my younger self? Keep reading and don't overthink other people's opinions. Also, step out more." We will cover 16 stories of women of impact in the next 16 days. I look forward to passing on the inspiration that I have accumulated from all of these incredible folks over the years. #womeninproduct #productmanagement #community
