Stop managing your life like a backlog. Apply product thinking outcomes, north stars, feedback loops to your career. Hands-on workshops! You can spot a vanity metric from across the room. You know the difference between outputs and outcomes. You've argued, probably more than once, that velocity without direction is just expensive chaos. And then you go home and manage your life and career like a Jira backlog with no epics, no prioritization, and definitely no story point estimates. Whether you are currently navigating the complexities of product leadership or actively trying to break into your first PM role, it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. This session is for the product thinker who suspects their own life deserves the same intentionality they bring to their roadmap, and is curious about what happens when those two skill sets finally meet. This Lunch & Learn is designed to be highly actionable. Bring a pen, paper, and your product sense.

Speaker Bio Jen Reiher is a senior technology leader in the BC public sector by day and a Life Systems Strategist by night. With over a decade of experience building complex technical systems and aligning cross-functional teams, Jen noticed a glaring pattern. The people best equipped to design intentional, user-centric systems almost never applied that thinking to their own lives or career paths. That gap became her life systems strategy practice. Today, Jen works with product folks and tech professionals at inflection points, helping them move from reactive to intentional across their job hunts, career advancement, relationships, and health. She brings the exact same rigour she applies to technical architecture to the architecture of a well-designed life. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenreiher 👉 Reserve your spot today!
