“I Can’t Believe This Is Happening Again” – Using Storytelling & Systems Thinking to Fix Recurring Product Nightmares
Ever had your roadmap hijacked by the latest customer request? Or sat in a Sales kickoff and realized… they’re making up their own messaging?
You’re not alone. Prioritization chaos, misaligned go-to-market messaging, and the endless battle between tech debt and new features—these aren’t just one-off frustrations. They’re patterns. And they don’t just slow you down. They make you question your influence, your strategy, and sometimes your sanity.
So, let’s talk about it. But not just talk—let’s map it out, break it down, and design a way through it.
What You’ll Walk Away With (AKA: What’s in It for You?)
- A repeatable framework to break down product problems using storytelling + systems thinking
- Clarity on why these problems keep happening—and how to stop fighting symptoms and start fixing the system
- Tactical ways to push back (without being "difficult") when Sales, Execs, or Engineering try to throw you off course
- A new way to see your role—less firefighting, more strategic influence A damn good time. Because if you’re going to be in the trenches, might as well laugh about it.
And here’s the part you won’t see coming:
By the time you leave, you won’t just have tools—you’ll have a new perspective.
You’ll start to see the system, not just the chaos.
You’ll find your leverage points instead of feeling stuck.
And you’ll walk out not just as a problem-solver, but as a strategic leader.
This isn’t just another PM or PMM talk—it’s hands-on, real, and built to be actually useful. If you were at last year’s storytelling session (yes, the one where people were sitting on the floor), you already know this is worth showing up for.
