Everyone’s got an interesting journey into crafting their product careers—the best part is to embrace all of our facets and dimensions and see how to bring them into one picture. And over time, that translates to exploring habits that help us stay in those dimensions and keep learning, not just from our own work but from networks around us.
How to channelize these non-linear paths, find rituals, and focus on growth while building products?
Lane Shackleton is the CPO of Coda. Lane previously led product teams at YouTube and Google, and brings in a set of unique work experiences from before. Lane works with so many creators across the globe and digs deep into empathy, goal setting, and stories.
What similarity does a sport and inner self have? We saw that come live with Timothy Gallwey's books on playing and mastering the inner game. When Lane Shackleton (CPO, Coda) and I chatted about rituals, non-linear career, and building products, we couldn't help but notice the pattern match in playing the 'product sport' well.
As an athlete and former mountain climbing guide, Lane shares how endurance and the inner mindset to stay in the present moment help a lot with how ideas shape into products. All the more, the art of noticing, whether it's customer insight or a personal reflection of questions is definitely an asset with the inner game of product building.
