Facilitation Is a Must-Have Skill for Product Managers with Douglas Ferguson


Listen Later

What if your meetings could go from frustrating to high-functioning?

In this episode, we sit down with Douglas Ferguson, president of Voltage Control and author of The Magical Meeting, to explore why facilitation is an essential, and often underdeveloped, skill for product managers. Douglas shares how intentional meeting design, inclusive practices, and purpose-driven structure can turn routine meetings into game-changing moments of alignment and insight.

You’ll learn key facilitation techniques like “work alone together,” how to navigate the dual role of product manager and facilitator, and ways to measure meeting success. Whether you’re running sprints or cross-functional check-ins, this episode will help you stop dreading meetings and start leading them better.
