What courses would you recommend (or avoid) to improve my overall management skills? I am reading books, articles and my company provides me with a career coach. I am 38, and don't really want to go back to school. I have my BS in Psychology, but am a Director in Finance. Don't necessary want the cost that comes with an MBA.

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

Hey everyone! Could you recommend any good materials/books/courses on IT services, B2B marketing?

Let's do a #Resources thread! 📚
Drop any courses, books, mentors, podcasts, videos, articles, or certifications that you've found helpful while becoming or trying to become a Product Manager!

As a new product manager what books should I be reading? I’ve already read Inspired but looking or more. For context, I’ve joined a series A start up and as expected there’s a lot to do and it’s very fluid. I want to be able to help the head of product as much as possible as well as provide some structure to how we work.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Hi everyone! I recently transitioned from a technical project manager role to an integrations product manager role. I am loving this so much more than project management and I’m very eager to learn more! I was curious what are some of the best books,articles, courses that have helped you grow the most? And do you have any other tips and recommendations for someone just starting out in this career path?

Thank you in advance!

Advice: I'm taking over a new thread, and I've been shadowing the current lead. The development team appears to need a LOT of handholding. During our daily standup, I find that we spend over 45 mins (15 min meeting) daily going over code. There is so much handholding. I do not have a strong background in the language that they are using. I'm very concerned about the strength of the team. I'm not sure if I should inform my manager? I don't think I have the expertise to lead the team cont....

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

Hello Everyone. I’m looking for a UX Design job opportunity. I recently completed a UX Design Diploma and I am looking for support/mentorship/assistance in landing my first role. It’s been a month of job-hunting. It’s been the vicious cycle of ‘you need experience’, Yes please! I have what it takes. I need a job to build the experience. Thanks all for your help.

Have you all ever had a mental roadblock making you less productive? If so how did you handle it? I've been pretty concerned about my health lately as I've been in and out of the hospital the last month. So far my tests have come back as normal and doctors are pointing it towards anxiety which is something that I'm not used to having. At times it feels like black in tech means I have to appear as a superstar so I'm not labelled by my peers as a slacker. Could be just me but it feels that way.
