What is the best way to show your potential as a female product manager? Totally fine if the tips are gender neutral as well, I start a new position at the end of January as a PM for the first time and I want to be on it from the start.

Learn to take ownership of your wins. Best advice I've received in plenty of years in product. And don't be afraid to ask questions just because you're more of a leader in your new position. The best leaders ask the most questions.

Create your own 90 day plan. Make sure to include a diverse group of people to meet 1-on-1.

If the org’s onboarding does not include 1-on-1, do them anyway. People like talking. And listening to this diverse group is helpful for understand different currents in the office politics.

Position yourself. Network early on, use your newbie card to establish rapport and be seen as the go-to person. Female charm of being a good listener has added value while engaging with stakeholders. Request 10 mins virtual intro to folks, no one says no to that :)

Feel like one of the most understated strategies for promotion is making it well aware to those around you how bad you want it (and THAT you want it) and how much you deserve it. Manifest that s&^% ! It'll only bring good energy

Take initiative.. Don't be afraid to get a hold on things without being asked. Learn everyone's goals and strengths

This is solid advice and I agree. Take initiative. Step up to the plate and do whatever youc an to get noticed. I think this is the best thing we can do as women in any male dominated industry.

You'll be great. Congrats on getting the new role. I'm sure they already see your potential since they hired you. Try not to second guess yourself

This is a good point. There's been so many times where I wanted to prove myself in a new position. I would be so nervous that I didn't make decisions because I was afraid of making the wrong one. Maintain your confidence you deserve to be there

Do the job really well. Speak up and take ownership. Know your product inside and out. Think ahead about what your product needs and offer solutions before it becomes a pressing problem
