Session Abstract

Product Career Development

Take the courage to be a cow in the midst of unicorns

Everywhere we go we are shown the unicorns who succeeded and shines. We look up to stories of perfection and super power. Yet, the reality is when you peel the layers of every successful product, every successful leaders, they are all a shiny, polished image of courage that overcame failures, of consistency throughout all the ups and down, etc. Dream to see the unicorn but don’t be tricked into believing you have to be one to succeed.
