Just think: Why carving space to simply  think is an evergreen product challenge, and how to overcome it

Carving space in your day to think. That might be the hardest aspect of a product role. So we often avoid it, opting instead for things right in front of us: the packed calendars, relentless notifications, and endless asks to play a supporting role in another team’s OKRs. But continually succumbing to those daily demands instead of framing our convictions can work against our career goals and personal growth aspirations. 

In this talk, we’ll examine which situations actually merit dedicated space to think vs. which ones can figure themselves out. We’ll dive into the things that most often get in the way of thinking space and how you can combat them. We’ll cover key ways to present your convictions (once you have them) to amplify your voice in key decision making moments. And finally, we’ll get real about why this is truly an evergreen challenge that we need to continually adapt in order to overcome.

Uncovering Hidden Obstacles with the Clarity Map

As product people, we're experts at problem-solving. But what if we are stuck, unsure about the way forward, and feel the solution is hidden in plain sight?

In this presentation, we'll explore how to uncover hidden obstacles using a simple tool called the Clarity Map. Gain clarity of thought and make clear and productive decisions using self-awareness, curiosity, and kindness.
