Sarah Doody Speaking Topics
We spend one-third of our lives at work. Our jobs influence and dictate our lives in terms of time, finances, relationships, and physical, mental, and emotional health.
What would your life look like if you were earning more money? Or your company didn't expect you to work on weekends? Or you were doing work that aligned with your interests and values? Or you had more time to be present for your partner, family, and friends? Or you didn’t dread turning on your computer each Monday morning?
Having a career that allows you to live the life you want is within your reach. But, it won’t happen by chance, it happens by design.
This illusion of an effortless career is similar to products and services that we falsely label as overnight successes. Breakout companies that seem to come out of nowhere, don’t happen by chance, they happen by design. And the same principles and strategies that lead to successful products and services can be applied to your career.
Once you learn these timeless principles and strategies, you will never feel trapped in a job again, allow your skills or salary to plateau, or tolerate teams, managers, and cultures that deplete energy, joy, and confidence.
Similar to an entrepreneur who builds multiple successful companies over the course of their career, you too will have timeless principles and strategies to help you navigate and thrive in various chapters of your career.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Conduct research and identify what your true skills are and how you are different from your competition
- Create a career roadmap to determine what gap might exist between where you are now and the skills and experience you’d need to quality for your dream career
- Curate your list of allies and advisors who will help you stay true to your personal values or can be a sounding board for your career and beyond
- Construct your personal brand to help you build a solid reputation with your colleagues, connections, and current and future employers
What if your team could create something you know people want instead of something you hope they need? Learn how to break the habit of rushing to build with these 4 steps:
- Conduct fast and cost-friendly research.
- Understand the true problem, not symptoms.
- Identify exactly what to build.
- Launch and validate the idea.
As technology becomes smarter, what is the ethical line of making decisions on behalf of the people who use our products? As a society, what happens if more of our roles are automated?
This talk explores 4 cautions and 4 design principles to consider as automation inserts itself into the products we create.
Far too often, teams focus on execution before defining the product opportunity and unique value proposition.
Leveraging the power of storytelling can help teams focus on the “why” of a product before they become entrenched in the “how”.
This talk provides product teams with storytelling principles and practices that can be integrated into their existing product development methodology.
