Using experience as a coach at Spotify and the ABC as a recent consulting case study, Brendan will demonstrate a simple model for aligning teams to strategy without the need of big frameworks like SAFE *About Brendan:* Brendan Marsh is a Product & Org Advisor and Director at Organa, where he helps organisations improve product strategy, org design and execution at scale.

Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should

Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM
From ProductTank Melbourne
4.6

After a 2 year hiatus ProductTank Melbourne is back!! Join us in person at the TeamForm offices in the CBD for the latest in practical insights, great discussions and interesting people. **Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should** Perfectly reasonable habits we encounter in our day-to-day product work can be clues that something deeper is wrong in the system around you. Are your colleagues a little too concerned with what the director thinks? Have your engineers stopped arguing with you? Is your Q2 plan all locked up nice and neat? This talk looks at those product smells: what they reveal, their root cause, and what you can do when you spot them. **Speaker: Jack Rust** Jack Rust is a Senior Product Manager at SEEK. Before moving into product, he worked as a software engineer โ€” and before that, at a deli. He's interested in products that help people get their jobs done, the systems that help product managers build them, and why some systems make that work so hard. Jack is uncomfortable networking, so he speaks at meetups and conferences in the hope that the networking will happen to him instead. **When & Where** 5:30pm doors open, 6pm start TeamForm โ€” Level 6, 278 Collins St (entrance next to Flight Centre, near Flinders Street Station) **On the night** 5:30 pm - Doors open with pizza provided by our hosts TeamForm 6:00 โ€“ 7:00pm: talk + discussion 7:00 โ€“ 8:00pm: networking, Come along, bring a friend and/or colleague, and come ready with a product smell of your own โ€” you might just get it workshopped live.

Presenting - Stage style & class workshop

Presenting - Stage style & class workshop

Thu, Oct 1, 8:15 AM
From SmashSpeak- Real World Presenting & Leadership
4.7

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshops- Tonight get involved and have some fun. Tonight we study and learn unique stage styles and techniques of world-class presenters. Be inspired by the styles of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, etc. Add class, presence, vocal variety and impact to your own presentations. Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so itโ€™s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** โ€œProudly Australian" โ€“ Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, RED Room (End of corridor) More to come...
