I recently had the pleasure of speaking at La Product Conf Paris and wanted to share an overview of my talk called “It’s all invented!”

Instead of diving into the nuts and bolts of product management, my talk focused on the interpersonal skills that shape our work as product managers and product leaders.

Having a leadership style means you've got a go-to approach for leading others. It’s about how you communicate, motivate, and guide your team. Your leadership style shapes how you handle challenges, make decisions, and interact with your team. It's a reflection of your values, personality, and experiences, but it should also be flexible enough to adapt to different situations.

It’s time to call a spade, a spade. When we talk about "managing up," it often boils down to one thing: how can I impress my boss and keep them happy?

Have you ever stopped to wonder when thinking became such a radical act?

In a world where our schedules are jam-packed and our attention constantly pulled in a million different directions, taking a moment to pause and reflect seems almost rebellious. And if you're one of the rare few who actually dares to carve out a bit of time for thinking, you're often met with raised eyebrows and scepticism.
