Product Talks & Workshops
‘Fantastic’ talks & ‘incredible’ workshops that create ‘motivation, enthusiasm, and excellent actions’.
Why are product workshops & talks incredible for your teams?
In product, we’re always working on a million and one things. We know we have a particular challenge that we need to focus on to make a change, but it feels impossible to carve out the time to drive this forwards with everything else happening.
Workshops & talks are one of the best ways to bring your Product Organisation together to generate the focus you need on a particular topic.
You can see some of my favourite (and most popular) workshops & talks below, but if you need anything bespoke – I would love to hear from you.
Product Workshops
Are my favourite way of bringing people together to create impact. The benefits:
- You carve out time to really work on something
- You have real tangible actions to take away and go and create the impact that you need
& what’s more, you get to bring in all of my expertise that I have used to tackle Product problems in over 20 companies & my infectious enthusiasm which leaves teams wanting to do so much more.
Sounds like an incredible session doesn’t it?!
Let’s have a 30 min chat to run through your goals and how we can make it happen.
Deliver more impact, by actually doing less.
Product orgs have grown to a huge scale, and everyone feels busy all of the time. We work on so many things just because we think we should and we’re so busy in the day to day that we can’t take a step back to do anything about it.
When we really do think about it, we realise how much time we’re spending on things that don’t really add value. OR, we realise we’re just not really sure what is adding the value anyway.
If you’re in a Product org that feels like you’re always busy doing a million and one things, but you’re not seeing the end results you expect – this workshop is for you.
This workshop will help you to take a step back, understand WHAT impact you want to deliver and make sure you’re working on the right things to contribute to this.
It is here to transform your organisation to deliver as much impact as possible, by actually refining your focus on taking on LESS as opposed to doing more.
& yes, this fills us with dread. We think of all of the reasons why we can’t do less. It’s not as easy as just snapping your fingers and dropping things. So we get into the mindset behind this, and get really strategic about how you can make this happen in an effective way. Because believe me, it is possible.
Organisations that are tired of feeling busy all of the time. You want to really drive forward the impact you want to see this year, and want to implement all of the right tools and techniques to allow you to supercharge this.
In this workshop we run through:
- Clarity on the impact you want to add
- Everything that the teams are working on right now
- Assessing how this contributes to impact
- All of your current processes and ways of working, and how to optimise these so you can add more impact by doing less
- You will leave with clear actions and owners to bring these changes to life and have a positive, lasting impact post-workshp
A Product Org that truly understands what they’re trying to achieve, and how they’re going to deliver the impact they desire.
Clear methodologies to reduce workload across areas that are not proving to be effective.
Overall, a happier, more optimised team that can really deliver the results you need this year.
All of the Product team members, plus representatives from crucial departments for eg. engineering, UX, sales, customer success & any more that have a direct impact on how the Product org works.
We jump on a call to discuss your initial goals and where you’re at in your organisation.
We craft a plan of where we need to focus the most to make the most of the session (tweaking workshop elements if needed).
We then run the session: in person or virtually. For one day or half a day depending on where you’re currently at.
I provide you with 3 follow up calls for chosen representatives in your team so I can continue to guide and support your Org as you implement the actions.
Product Mindset Over Skillset Workshop
Product Management is about so much more than learning the skills of how to run a team and prioritise a backlog. It is about more than knowing how to speak to customers and assess analytical data. It is a craft. & yes you can learn all of these components, and you can do Product. But the world-class product people know how to think and embody product and always extract value. & they glow with this, they evangelise this and they spread this across the organisation.
A workshop to help you to learn, understand, embody and practise how to do just this. How to really think like a Product person. How to really transform the way that your org works to deliver as much value as f*cking possible. We’ll cover mindsets, skillsets, what the optimimum mindset is, how to think from this point of view, actions you can take in your org to embed this & how to use your abilities to spread this mindset through the org.
Any organisation that is serious about going through Product transformation and being product-led, and any Product person that wants to be world-class at Product and really embody everything that this is on a daily basis. If you’re a start up looking to do product right, a scale-up growing and wanting to nail this or a large org transforming – you need to know how to get this right for everything else to fall into place.
An org that is fully product-driven and delivers so much value above anything else. They can work together like clockwork to focus on the most impactful things.
All Product people, and other disciplines that want to learn to think like Product ie. UX, analytics, sales, customer success, engineering.
It can really help you to align different departments and approches.
Product Talks
If you ask any Product Manager how they are, the response you’ll get is ‘busy’. We work in an ever-changing space, there is always something to do, and as Product people, we will do it! We feel the responsibility to add value and solve it all.
But, by being stuck in these cycles we hit a point of not being able to do what we actually need to add impact.
This talk is here to break these cycles, inspiring and empowering you to go out and make the changes you need so you can actually focus on the things you love.
Imagine more time for product discovery, focus work, working on your career goals & more. & trust me, I can help you transform. I’ve achieved the same with 10s of PMs.
Every single PM in your organisation. Especially the ones that think they’re too busy to attend!
The first steps to inspire PMs to be completely able to transform how they spend their time, to work on the areas that will truly add value – and free up a PM to achieve everything else that they want to.
How you can deliver more impact, by actually doing less.
Burnout in Product is real, here is what you can do about it.
Have you been on the verge of burnout working in tech? If so, you’re not alone. 42.1% of people in tech have a high risk of burnout. We work in a constantly changing environment. We pride ourselves on continually improving. We always want to impress, take on more responsibility, wear all of the hats and try to plug all of the gaps to get things delivered on time.
There is no quite period. There are no rest days. Tech really is the perfect environment to cause stress and burn out.
So what can we do?
We can become aware of the factors that are leading us to feel this way, and put steps in place to prevent them before it gets to this point. & this talk isn’t here to tell teams they just need to do less. It’s to truly understand what is causing these feelings, and take steps to do something, so you can continue to deliver the impact you desire in your role.
Every single PM and tech person in your org!
A knowledge and awareness that burnout does exist, and having all of the info and steps that you need to take in advance to stop it getting to an unmanageable point.
It really will allow your org to be looked after, and continue to be productive and effective in the most sustainable way.
Whether you want a workshop, or training, or you’re not quite sure yet but you know you need something! We’ll start with a free 30 min chat to get into the details so we can create something magical for you!

The vision and strategy workshop with Evie was fantastic. She has tremendous knowledge and was able to facilitate the group to achieve some excellent actions going forward that have already resulted in increased motivation and enthusiasm for the vision of the product. I would recommend 100% her to any company looking to improve their approach to product strategy.
