In my continuing <ahem> "Quest" to explore the connection between product management practices and learning golf.

Be prepared to fail... Be prepared to make mistakes... This is the best advice I can give you for being a successful Product Manager. You need to be ready for things to not go as planned. Being ready means you're mentally strong enough to lead through the challenging times. This builds trust and confidence. This keeps your team aligned and using the learnings to keep pressing forward.

🎯 Hitting the Bullseye in Product Management 🎯 Watching Olympic shooters reminded me of the parallels to product management. Both require: 🏅Precision and Focus: Aligning features with customer needs is like aiming for the bullseye. 💡Resourcefulness:Achieving big results with limited budgets. 😂 Cost-Effective : Managing costs can feel like an Olympic sport. 📊Consistent Performance: Continuous improvement is key. Just like shooters, product managers need accuracy, timing, and resourcefulness to hit their targets. Let’s keep aiming for gold! 🥇 #ProductManagement #Olympics #Precision #Resourcefulness #HumorInBusiness #HittingTargets

Throwback Thursday: From Primary 5 Star to Product Manager __________________________________________________ Sixteen years have passed since I last held that coveted 'Best Student' award in Primary 5, but the memory remains as vivid as yesterday's sunrise. I still see the beaming pride on my mom's face, her infectious enthusiasm spreading like wildfire to everyone who would listen. That moment, though seemingly small, was a defining milestone. It validated my hard work, dedication, and resilience. Fast-forward to today, and I realize those early achievements laid the groundwork for my growth. They taught me to: - Embrace challenges - Learn from failures - Celebrate progress As I reflect on my journey, I want to share a truth: every win, regardless of scale, has transformed me in some way. It's the accumulation of these moments that has shaped me into the person I am today. Let's redefine what winning means to us. Let's celebrate: - The late nights and early mornings - The setbacks and comebacks - The moments of self-doubt and triumph Your wins are: - Building blocks for growth - Stepping stones to self-discovery - Reminders of your strength Now it's your turn! Share your own Throwback story and let's celebrate the wins that have shaped you! What's your story? I'd love to hear it! #Throwback #WinsMatter #GrowthMindset #ProductManagement #Resilience #Determination

In product management, what are the skills needed for a good product person? Which are the usual suspects, and which I find more useful? Read about it in my new article.

As a new product manager, you must find the right answers to the questions you are given. As a product leader, you must find the right questions.

Got an amazing idea? execute today...... If you can start the execution now, do it now ... use it as a reminder, to reduce the time between idea and execution.

I ran a half marathon with my brother Daniel Constable last weekend. I couldn’t be prouder! He wanted to prove to himself that he could take on an endurance event. Me: well, I’m training for my 5th marathon aiming to beat my PB 😅 There are 2 learnings that I believe are so important for any Product Manager to take from this. 1) the importance of goals. With a winning mindset you make meaningful progress, and Dan showed that in abundance! 2) lead with empathy. Listening to customers, your team - or my brother in this case - means you can be part of something that brings success for you both. I am so grateful we crossed the line together. #productmanagement #productmanager

Consistency is not enough. There has to be alignment between your actions and your goals. Alignment + Consistency + Iteration If you follow that, you can become whoever you want to become. The biggest problem is that most people’s actions are not aligned with the goals they set for themselves. Are yours in alignment?

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆” I've held on to these words for the longest, and they're words I said to myself when starting in Product Management. I've always been a teacher at heart, so I was determined to share even the minutest details about what I had learned. I would tell myself it was okay to share even if I didn't know so much, and boy, did that little help. At the last People In Product weekly check-in calls, something similar was mentioned. People feel they don't know enough or haven't gotten to a similar level to be able to answer questions, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬. That shouldn't be you. Even if it is, be ready for change. If you're wrong, you still win because you get to learn from the errors. Do not be too shy to shine your light. I'll leave you these Bible verses: 𝘠𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘈 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘥. 𝘕𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬; 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦. - Matthew 5:14-15 Do you resonate with this?
