"Obsessed" is a word some people have used to describe my relation with Product Management. I have to admit, I'm a little bit obsessed with our work 🚀 And why not? If it involves loving what you do, constantly evolving, and making friends in the process, wouldn't you be? This is exactly what Product Weekend is all about – passion, growth, and connections!

It's not just about growing in your role as a Product Manager, but also about growing together with a community that shares the same passion. Sergiu and I, we started with a simple idea, a space where Product Managers can connect, learn and grow. Today, we are proud of the community we have fostered, and we invite you to be a part of it.

Meet the Footshop Crew! 👟 Our Financial Manager Jakub answered 4 questions we've asked him so you can get to know him better 💡 ❤️ 🚀 How long have you been working at Footshop? Just a few days ago, I celebrated 2nd anniversary with the company. However, it feels like I've been here much longer because so much has happened since I joined. My journey so far has felt like a rollercoaster ride. Over the past 2 years, I've witnessed some of Footshop's most challenging moments, including substantial cost-cutting measures that led to 30% of employees leaving the company. This definitely marked the toughest year in company's history, but turned out to be very important strategic decision. On the other side, I have also been present during exciting times when we received a significant investment and made our debut on the Prague Stock Exchange. 🚀 What was the reason you wanted to work at FS back then? I have a background in a high-growth e-commerce company with global ambitions and a startup vibe. After spending 4.5 years there, I felt the need for a change, so I started looking. I wanted to work for a company operating in a similarly dynamic environment, with big ambitions and a friendly company culture, but further along in its lifecycle. Footshop seemed like the perfect choice, and it still feels that way, even in retrospect. 🚀 What time has been the latest you left the office? The latest? I believe it was around 10 PM. But the nature of our work means it's never truly complete, and flexible working arrangements, including the ability to work from home, sometimes blur the lines of traditional office hours. Yet, this flexibility is part of what makes this work so dynamic and attractive for me. 🚀 How many sneakers do you own? Comparatively, I believe I own significantly fewer pairs of sneakers than the average at our company, with a collection of about 8-10 pairs. However, I must say it takes a lot of willpower to resist the temptation to buy something every day :)

This past work week, Pablo Posada and I took on a big challenge: covering for Daniel Mendez who went on vacation for his birthday 🎉. We were "fully" prepared—studying the accounts, following instructions, and getting ready *or so we thought 😅 for what was coming. But as expected, the first day brought chaos 🌪️. Unexpected things happened, clients got difficult, and we faced challenges even the account owner hadn’t anticipated. So what did we do? -Regrouped: We huddled and quickly re-evaluated the situation. -Planned: Adjusted our approach based on the new issues that popped up. -Collaborated: Communicated clearly with each other to stay aligned. -Adapted: We handled customer challenges with flexibility and focus. -Followed up consistently: Made sure no customer issue was left unresolved until every loop was closed ✅. We still have two more days of this frenzy, but I’m confident we’ve got it now 💼! These challenges have strengthened our problem-solving skills, teamwork, and resilience. I’m excited to continue pushing through with great support from our strategy and leadership teams! Enabling us to continue delivering results for our clients—no matter the chaos!

Last night's Oscars gave us many unforgettable moments, but Ryan Gosling's performance as "I'm Just Ken" truly stood out. It was more than entertainment; it was a reminder of the incredible power of fun and memorability in any performance – be it on the stage or in the boardroom. This philosophy of blending fun with serious business echoed vividly at last week's GLOMO and Rhode Sense Movers Party at Prohibition in New Orleans. The atmosphere was electric, filled with jazz, laughter, and vibrant discussions. It was a clear testament to how bringing joy and memorability into professional settings can significantly amplify engagement and results. In logistics, a field often viewed through a lens of complexity and seriousness, this approach is particularly transformative. Working with experts who not only excel in their field but also know how to add a touch of fun and memorability – like the team at Rhode Sense – changes the game. It turns routine transactions into memorable experiences, fostering stronger relationships and smoother operations. At Rhode Sense, we live by the motto "WHERE THERE'S A ROAD, WE'LL FIND A WAY." But let's not forget: the journey is just as important as the destination. Let's make our business interactions not just successful, but also fun and unforgettable. #BusinessSuccess #FunInBusiness #Logistics #RyanGosling #Oscars #RHODESENSE #Networking

If you’re struggling to figure out how to shift your career: Let your interests guide the way. In 2006, I moved to Atlanta from Puerto Rico, with no set professional path. So, I followed my passions and hobbies: Working out, retail, technology — and got hired in these industries. The skills I learned from those seemingly unrelated jobs continue to impact my life: • Blockbuster - Manning the floor demonstrated the power of asking clarifying questions. • Bally's - Selling gym memberships taught me how to craft offers based on the customer’s goals. • Verizon - Being a sales rep required empathizing with someone before trying to help or sell them anything. Right now, all of your different experiences may not seem like they work together, but trust me they do. As a business owner, I use these lessons daily. This summer, we're celebrating Tyrannosaurus Tech’s 8 year anniversary. 🥳 What's your "unlikely" career journey been?

Our Founder, Mariana Trigo, was one of the invited speakers for Product Weekend in Porto last Saturday 🎤 Under the topic, How to become a HIGH IMPACT Product Manager, Mariana shared deep insights about career choices and the reason behind our decisions.

Do you know the ROI of Memorable Experiences? Once, for my daughter's 13th birthday, I splurged on tickets to a P!nk concert and rented a limo for her. Sure, driving there would've been cheaper. But when I saw her joy, I knew I'd created a moment she'd cherish forever. Now, let's translate this to our businesses. We often get caught in the cycle of cost vs. returns. But sometimes, it's about the intangible returns. These moments might seem like extra expenses, but they yield a unique ROI: - Strengthened bonds - Increased loyalty - Strong Culture - Unforgettable memories. When planning your next team event, don't just think about costs. Consider the long-term return on these priceless moments.

In a profession known to be isolating, thankless, and competitive, there are so few spaces focused on building relationships and not just networks; on the human and not the professional. The EA Social Club aims to be a third space - a community of people who understand without having to justify. We might not be for everyone, but we're here for anyone. #executiveassistants #personalassistants #administrativeprofessionals #chiefofstaff
