Talk: Values, the product skill you didn’t know you needed -Productized 2024
Have you ever stopped to think about what you need to be your best self?
I hadn’t. Because of that, I felt stuck, exhausted, and caught in constant conflict. I know I’m not the only one who ends up in that dark corner.
But having been there, I now know how to get out of it.
The story of how I took myself out of a corner - and into a happier place, is now yours to watch. You’ll learn how to:
• Map what gives you energy.
• Use story mapping to overcome self-doubt.
• Create distance from conflict and collaborate better.
• Discover your superpowers and make them your differentiators.
Telling the story of how I did it by identifying and living my values on a stage felt strange and liberating at once. Having that recording now publicly available to whoever wants to listen feels even more vulnerable —but it’s worth it if it helps others find their path to happiness.
If you believe in value-driven development and that soft skills are the hardest to master, I’d love for you to listen and help me share this message. You can watch the talk below.
This is not a talk about how discovery should work.
It’s about how growth actually happens, and how discovery, when used intentionally, can become a powerful lever for focus, alignment, and impact.
Growth is often framed as speed, scale, or shipping more. But in reality, it looks very different.
Growth is a series of choices, tensions, and compromises. It’s navigating pressure to move fast while trying to move intentionally.…and it rarely works by the book.
In this talk I share real stories from building and growing discovery habits across scale-ups, not as a planned transformation, but as a way to make better decisions and create real business impact.
You’ll hear what happens when discovery meets reality:
How discovery can build credibility and trust — not just insights
Why leading with business impact is often the fastest way to unlock better decisions and bring the organization with you
Counterintuitive lessons from scaling discovery, including why starting “where impact is biggest” can backfire, why process can get in the way, and why standardization isn’t required for scale
The mindset shifts needed to sustain new ways of working when you have to prove yourself again and again
