Listen to Geoff Explain The Course

Understand Yourself and Your Product Better

Develop your emotional and product intelligence

Being a product manager requires more than just great knowledge of the product you are intending to build and the market you are intending to launch it in. Being a great product manager requires something perhaps even harder than all of those things…an understanding and mastery of yourself. This course will not only develop your product intelligence but also your emotional intelligence as you become a more rounded product owner.
