See all- Soft Skills in Product: An Improvisation Workshop1000 Trades, Birmingham
Through the lens of product leadership and management, Asomi and Jon will merge the importance of soft skills in product management with small group improv exercises.
Have you ever been hit with a question you weren't prepared for or found yourself in a difficult situation? How did you respond? This session will help you feel more comfortable in those interpersonal situations as a product professional. We'll flex the 'think on your feet' muscle with context around why you should consider making this a regular practice.
