Hadas Sheinfeld | Takhles Episode: How Do You Break PM Loneliness with a Peer Circle?
Description
In this Takhles episode, a segment from the full conversation with Eyal David, Hadas Sheinfeld explains why product managers are so lonely: at Clicktale she was alone for years, and as VP Product she sat on the management team as the only woman besides the VP HR; at Google and at Datagen she was still alone, because everyone is busy with their own thing and the role's mental load is huge. She explains why a mentor alone isn't enough, and tells the story of the peer group she started with two product managers she met during a break at the Product X conference, which has met once a month for ten years, and of the forums she set up later: a forum of women on startup management teams and a Lean In circle of Women PMs at Google Europe.
