When coaching, I mentally classify what people are talking about into issues that revolve around 4 Ps:

Today's question: is this a location for Andor, or a view from a London hotel where lê I'm facilitating a strategy offsite?

A problem that crops up time & again: how to make impact when there's no strategy in place? Or when an ambition has been mistaken for an actual strategy?

I'm giving a talk on the subject soon - but I'd love to hear from you.

Please share your experience (outofowls.com/strategy-talk)

I quite like Beeper (aggregator of messaging from various apps, but strangely not yet Bluesky...), but the image on the page for their Beta desktop build is just WEIRD.
Who posts a sample image with this kind of conversation?

@thormitchell.bsky.social was our very first guest on The Product Experience podcast, and it was great to have him back to chat about building an Associate Product Manager program during his time as a VP Product at Miro.

Nice panel on modern product leadership in that there London, calling out plenty of BS that's often thought of as best practice. Good stuff from James Gunaca, Simon Cross, Nani Nitinavakorn, and Cinzia Ricciardone. Thanks to Mind the Product for hosting.

(I talked about this at Mind the Product last year, and released the model as a canvas. It was fun! More on that here:
outofowls.com/blog/the-pro... )

did not disappoint!

Weird to be at the Barbican at this time of year and not be at a Mind the Product conference - but this should be equally nerdy and amazing.

Being a Product Leader is a lonely job - but it doesn't have to be. That's why I started getting groups of CPOs together to support each other. They've been brilliant.
