This episode is with Hannah Eickmeier. She is a Product Experience Advisor at Xero and has lots of experience as a Product Owner. She and I connected in the Product Hive Slack group. Product Hive is a Product and Design group that started in Utah, but has begun to collect humans from all over the globe. Hannah is originally from UK and is now working in New Zealand. And trust me… I asked for tips on how to get a job in New Zealand. Who doesn’t want to live in New Zealand?

Hannah is one of those multi talented humans who does lots of different things. She’s just started a podcast with her sister, she has a line of greeting cards coming out in December and most importantly for us, she’s recently written a series of blog posts on LinkedIn about Strategy. Strategy is one of those essential skills that I think Product Managers are expected to have and really NEED to have to be successful, but that I don’t hear discussed enough. And lucky for you, it's something that you can learn about and incorporate into your life without a product job. Identify where you want to go and ensure that everything you’re doing is aligned to that goal.
