Product London with Lebara.

Hello All, Hope you're all well and have been enjoying the sunshine! Product London returns on 16th September from 5.30pm, this time hosted by Lebara! **Address**: 5th Floor, Broadwalk House, 5 Appold St, London EC2A 2DA Three talks across the evening: **Talk 1**: **Chris Miles** (Group Head of Conversational Products at Lebara) with '**The AI Product Playbook**' **Synopsis**: Most AI products chase the technology first and the customer problem second. This talk offers five practical principles for building AI products people actually use, drawn from lived experience. **Talk 2**: **Lee Cross** (Growth Advisor - Lebara Travel eSIM ) with '**The Product Delivery Trap - Why product teams become delivery machines instead of growth engines - and how to escape**' **Synopsis**: Too often, product teams quietly become delivery machines and focus becomes shipping features, closing tickets, hitting sprint goals, while the business stops growing. It's the most expensive mistake in product, and the current rush to merge product into engineering is making it worse. This talk will make the case that product is, and always has been a commercial discipline, not a technical one. Its job is to find where the growth is, prove it, and drive a business toward it. Drawn from launching and scaling real businesses, it's a challenge to how most teams are being run - and a practical way out of the trap. **Talk 3**: **Nora Bereczkei** (Director & Tribe Lead, Platform Foundations at Gousto) with '**Platform Product Management: Same Craft, Different Users: Discovering, Building and Launching Internal Products and Platforms**' **Synopsis**: Platform product management uses the same craft as any other product role: real discovery, hard prioritisation calls, and a launch that earns its audience. The difference comes down to who that audience is, nothing more. There is no paying customer and no revenue signal, only internal teams deciding whether to trust what you built. Get the fundamentals right, and the leverage compounds, because every team downstream inherits the win without repeating any of the work themselves. This talk sets out a simple rule for that gap: ask the team directly, rather than guess what they need, and measure success by what the rest of the organisation can now do because the platform exists. Expect a practical walkthrough of discovery, build and launch for internal platforms, plus the handful of ways the job differs from building for an external customer. Pizza and Refreshments will be provided! Looking forward to see you there! Alex

Kirill Boiarkin: Soft Skills in the age of AI

For our early September meetup we are pleased to welcome to the LSCC community, Senior Software Developer and Agile Coach Kirill Boiarkin who will share his ideas and talk to us about: **Soft Skills in the age of AI** Soft Skills aren't a very popular subject in the IT universe, and with the rise of AI they are being neglected even more. They are often overlooked during computer science education - thus being an important lesson that many of us never had. But the focus on mastering tools without developing the skills to use those tools effectively within a team often leads to missed opportunities for career growth, project failures, and avoidable mistakes. This talk highlights why Soft Skills are needed for IT-professionals, especially now, when AI gets more and more powerful. It explores what limitations does the AI have in the context of Soft Skills, and offers plenty of practical tips for Soft Skills to improve your day-to-day teamwork. The talk goes beyond generic suggestions - in the relaxed and entertaining manner Kirill will present interesting perspectives based not only on his own experience, but also on many books, articles, conference talks and observations that he had over two decades of dealing with software and people. Everybody, from junior to senior developer, devops, QA, PO, manager will find some useful and possibly even eye-opening ideas in this talk. Agenda: 6:00-6:30pm - arrival, drinks, pizza and networking 6:30-6:45pm - introduction to the evening by Aman Panesar, LSCC Leader 6:45-7:30pm - talk by Kirill Boarkin 7:30-8pm - Wrap up, further discussions and networking **About Kirill:** Kirill Boiarkin is a Senior Software Developer, Agile Coach at Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany. Kirill holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and has 18 years of development experience across 6 different companies, working on outsource and in-house projects, startups and legacy systems, backend, frontend, desktop, and mobile apps. He has seen how teams are built and evolve, projects succeed and fail, team members and management make right and wrong decisions with the corresponding outcomes. Along the way, he took many notes on what worked and what didn't, and now it's time to share them.

In-Person Systemic & Family Constellation Evening Workshop

**Space is limited so book and pay early to avoid disappointment.** This evening workshop provides a perfect opportunity to experience the deep and insightful Systemic Constellations process in an intimate group setting. A unique and powerful therapeutic method for self-exploration, understanding core behaviours, removing blocks, and reintroducing movement and growth. It is used as a major resource in supporting healthy relationships, working through trauma, and assisting in depression treatment. **Issue Holder (client) and Representative spaces are available, please follow the link to book:** **For Representative (Participant) Booking £35** **[https://calendly.com/illiadato/in-person-family-constellations-evening-workshop](https://calendly.com/illiadato/in-person-family-constellations-evening-workshop)** **For Issue Holder (Client) Booking £175:** If you wish to attend as an Issue Holder at this workshop and have your own Constellation done please email your request to: [ih@londonconstellations.uk](http://ih@londonconstellations.uk/) Read comments of workshop participants here: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs) **WHAT ARE SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS?** The Systemic Constellations method is a unique therapeutic process of exploration of the forces that move us in life. Such forces are often appearing as difficulties or a sense of being 'stuck' in life, affecting our behaviour, relationships, career, health/wellbeing, or even financial circumstances. This method provides a three-dimensional ‘map’ of one’s life as it is at present. It is a simple yet powerful way to explore entanglements and blockages in our personal life and our family history. The method brings awareness and clarity into personal challenges by focusing the client on the root cause of such difficulties. Constellations provide an opening for a positive life shift and present ways for deep healing processes to occur. **WHAT HAPPENS IN A CONSTELLATION SESSION?** In Constellations work the ‘client’ is referred to as the ‘Issue Holder’. The method uses workshop participants as ‘Representatives’ to stand in for key people in the client’s life such as family members, colleagues, partners, ex-partners, etc., sometimes ‘abstract’ concepts such as an emotion, country of origin, religion, or destiny are also represented. All participants are invited to take part as Representatives. Workshop participants often report (see reviews: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs)) experiencing profound insights into their own lives by simply witnessing the process, regardless of how they choose to take part. **WHY DOES THIS WORK?** Scientific research shows that the experiences of your ancestors can determine your behaviour today and affect future generations.\*\* Recent scientific research into DNA reveals that a component named epigenetics is embedding the effect of a traumatic experience by altering the genetic structure. It means that some of our behaviour patterns can be attributed to traumatic events in our family history. This notion has always been one of the guiding principles of Systemic / Constellations Therapy, a form of work that is dedicated to exposing and dealing with issues emerging from our family system. *“It is only now that science is catching up with what is evident in Systemic Constellations work and visible in every one of our therapy sessions; trauma in the family history directly affects future generations' behaviour"* Illi Adato MD Our group provides a safe space where deep personal work is done and where maintaining confidentiality and respect for each other's privacy is paramount. **\*\* DNA research paper and news articles:** Discover - Grandma's Experiences Leave a Mark on Your Genes [https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK](https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK) BBC News - "Memories" pass between generations [http://bbc.in/1dNShPe](http://bbc.in/1dNShPe) **Facilitated by Illi Adato** MA Lon\.
