Product Poetry: The Product Manager Island

For those who have been the sole product person at your company (or felt like it), experienced limited collaboration in favor of competition, felt the occasional (or frequent) tinge of imposter syndrome, or had limited support or mentorship, this is for you.

Product is one of the most compelling and rewarding spaces to be in. At times, it is also one of the most challenging.

The Island

For the days

I feel most alone

I wish I had a straw

To consume the

Surrounding water

And turn my island

Into a nation

Where the only currency

Is connection

We barter for knowledge

And self-limiting beliefs

Are against the law.
