What educating 10,000 kids taught me about product leadership
This session is about: how I used product thinking to grow an internet safety idea from comics to books and education reaching 10,000+ people, and how that journey sharpened my approach to communication, leadership, and responsible product innovation. Three actionable takeaways: - Test before you scale. Use a small MVP and feedback from the people who will use the product before making a larger investment. - Lead beyond the PRD. Translate product decision for executives, peers, and your team; build relationships by helping others succeed. - Ask “should we?” before launch. Put overlooked users, foreseeable misuse, safety claims, and the consequences of failure into product requirements and reviews.
