Remember: it’s not about managing ALL inputs but managing the RIGHT inputs.
Set clear criteria for what gets your attention and let go of the noise. Quality over quantity, always.
Prioritize strategically and don’t be afraid to delegate.

Unexpected client conversations are inevitable.
My advice: Prepare well, brainstorm possible questions, and rehearse your delivery.
But also be ready to think on your feet and adapt to abrupt pivots in the discussion.
#ProductManagement
What’s the best way to ace unexpected client conversations?
Have a deep understanding of your product, a clear vision, and a quick thinking cap.
Preparation is always your best ally here.
When you’re refreshed, you lead with clarity and inspiration.
Being a great product manager isn’t about working 24/7.
It’s about finding balance, and that means taking time to recharge and come back stronger than ever.

Estimating complex work is a bit like sailing through a stormy sea.
You chart your course, but you’ll need to adapt to unexpected waves and winds to stay on target.

As a product manager, I’ve learned that estimating complex work is like juggling atomic-powered chainsaws - it’s risky work, and even with practice, the unexpected can still happen.
Carefully document your assumptions. Watch out for shifting variables!

When communicating with senior execs, be concise and get to the point as quickly as possible. The first sentence is always the key message.
