Description

In this episode of The Product Handbook, we explore how introverts can not only survive but thrive in one of the most social and demanding roles in tech — product management.


You’ll learn:

  • How to turn introvert strengths like active listening and thoughtful analysis into superpowers
  • Strategies for building influence through expertise, empathy, and data-driven decisions
  • Practical ways to manage energy — from calendar blocking to balancing meetings with deep work
  • How to approach networking, presentations, and interviews with confidence (without faking extroversion)
  • Why career growth as an introvert is about experimentation, learning, and treating your path like a product


If you’ve ever felt drained by endless collaboration or worried that quiet leadership doesn’t get noticed, this episode shows how introverts can lead with authenticity and impact.
