Life, Lessons, Product & the Podcast.

Thank you so much for signing up joining me on this journey, as I write about everything about Product & words of wisdom for life.

I really hope you enjoy this and find it valuable - Evie.

Life lessons...

As much as Product is interesting, I also wanted to share some of the highs and lows of (nomad) life. I love talking about more than just work, as I think it is so important to remain human and remember what matters most - everything else that is going on...

So lets get to it...

It has been a wild couple of weeks.

I've been in a super good mood - the sun has been shining, I'm making the most of my last few weeks in the UK (including watching the lionesses win at a fab 'networking' event in Leeds) ⚽️ 🏡

However, there's also been a lot happening. People around me have been having a really tough emotional time.

I can’t count the number of people in the last couple of weeks that have said ‘sorry’ to me, because they’ve been upset about something and I've been there for them.

& if there’s one thing that I’ve learnt in life - it’s that we should never be sorry for how we feel.

You’re allowed to feel how you feel.

You should only care about how you react.

I'm not just talking about how we react towards others, but also towards ourselves. My choice is to always react with kindness.

I will always seek to understand why I feel that way, but I will also be kind and compassionate to myself along the way.

If you've had one of these weeks - be kind to yourself, reflect on any areas that you can improve, and I really hope it gets better for you!

Product Talk

Ok - the part that most people might care about..

I've had a grand total of six people ask me for career advice this week - so I thought it was about time I put together a guide to showcase how you can land your dream PM role.

There's a tonne of advice in here, whether it is your first PM role, or you're looking to make a move to a new area. I've put together all of my expert tips - so please share with anyone that this could be useful for.

James has done amazing work to build up an incredible team and share his knowledge through coaching Product People. This episode is definitely worth a listen to gain some tips on how you can do the same.
