Lance Faulkner posted thisThis morning my six and a half year journey with Salesforce came to an end. What an amazing ride with highs and lows. While I’d didn’t end in the way I would have chosen I am so very greatful for the experiences. I will miss my friends and colleagues and home tk work with them in the future. It’s with many mixed emotions that I move onto my next adventure. #future #salesforce #work #openforopportunities #opentowork

Lance Faulkner liked thisLance Faulkner liked thisYou nailed every interview question They hired someone else by 3pm Why? Because of how you said it It's not about being the best on paper It's about sounding like you already work there Here's 11 phrases to nail the interview and land the job 1/ Why you want to work there ❌ "I'm excited about this opportunity..." ✅ "I looked at [company] before today. Two areas where I'd add value quickly…" 2/ Explaining a project ❌ "I've done something similar before..." ✅ "I've handled this before at [company], and I'd apply that here by..." 3/ You don't know ❌ "I'm not sure, but..." ✅ "I haven't faced that exactly, but here's how I'd think about it. I'd start by..." 4/ Describing your role ❌ "I helped with..." ✅ "When I was at [company] working on [project] the part I was most proud of was..." 5/ Handling a challenge ❌ "That was challenging because..." ✅ "The real issue wasn't [challenge], it was [problem], so I decided to..." 6/ Solving a problem ❌ "I think we could..." ✅ "What I'd do..." 7/ Talking about weaknesses ❌ "I sometimes struggle with..." ✅ "Earlier in my career, I worked on [area] and was helped by..." 8/ Checking understanding ❌ "Does that make sense?" ✅ "Happy to go deeper on that. Where should I focus?" 9/ Asking about success ❌ "What does success look like?" ✅ "What do your top performers do differently?" 10/ Committing to action ❌ "I'll try to..." ✅ "I'd take ownership of [outcome] and make sure it's delivered properly by..." 11/ Closing the interview ❌ "Thank you for your time" ✅ "This feels like a strong fit. What are the next steps?" The shift is subtle But the impact is massive You don't get hired by sounding like a candidate Sound like the person already doing the job That's how you get hired ------------------------------ 💾 Save this for your next interview I'm delivering a masterclass on 11th May on how to interview like an executive, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/e7G6ZM_H

Lance Faulkner liked thisLance Faulkner liked thisEveryone wants to become a Product Manager. But almost no one asks the most important question: “What kind of Product Manager do I want to be?” 👉 Product Management isn’t one role. It’s a spectrum of paths — each demanding a different mindset, skillset, and way of thinking. The best PMs don’t just enter the field. They choose their lane early. Here are some common paths you’ll see in the industry: 1️⃣ Generalist PM Owns the end-to-end product journey. Thrives in ambiguity, balances stakeholders, and connects the dots across teams. 2️⃣ Technical PM Lives at the intersection of engineering and business. Think APIs, system design, architecture, and scalability. 3️⃣ Growth PM Obsessed with numbers. Acquisition, retention, funnels, A/B testing — everything revolves around scale. 4️⃣ Product Marketing PM Shapes how the product is perceived. Owns positioning, storytelling, and go-to-market strategy. 5️⃣ Platform PM Builds the backbone. Focuses on infrastructure, internal tools, and systems that other teams rely on. 6️⃣ AI PM Works on AI-driven products. Balances innovation with responsibility, ethics, and real-world impact. 7️⃣ Data PM Turns data into decisions. Drives insights, experimentation, and measurable outcomes. 8️⃣ Product Owner Ensures execution. Manages backlogs, prioritization, and keeps Agile teams aligned and moving. 💡 If you’re serious about Product Management, stop saying: “I want to be a PM.” Start asking yourself: → What problems do I genuinely enjoy solving? → Do I lean more toward tech, business, or users? → What kind of impact do I want to create? Because clarity here doesn’t just guide your learning — it accelerates your entire career. If you're exploring PM roles, which path are you currently leaning toward? 👇 #ProductManagement #ProductManager #AspiringPM #PMCareer #TechCareers #GrowthMindset #AI #DataAnalytics #ProductStrategy #CareerGrowth #Agile #Startups #Innovation #BusinessAnalytics #Leadership

It’s forged in challenge, discipline, and decision. You don’t get stronger by wishing life were easier— You get stronger by choosing to rise anyway. Study these 10 principles to be a stronger human: 1/ Do the hard thing first ↳ Strength is built when you stop negotiating with discomfort. 2/ Set standards—then stick to them ↳ You don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your systems. 3/ Say what needs to be said ↳ Silence might keep the peace—but it won’t build your spine. 4/ Train your body ↳ Physical strength reinforces mental toughness. Sweat is strategy. 5/ Own your mistakes ↳ Strength isn't pretending you're perfect. It's taking full responsibility. 6/ Delay gratification ↳ Weak people chase now. Strong people invest in later. 7/ Keep promises to yourself ↳ Confidence comes from self-trust. Build it with consistency. 8/ Seek discomfort daily ↳ Your edge lives just beyond convenience. 9/ Stand up for others ↳ Strength isn’t loud. It’s quietly doing what’s right—even when it’s costly. 10/ Lead yourself first ↳ You can’t lead a team, a business, or a family—until you lead your habits. Don’t chase easy. Chase growth. That’s where the real strength lives. ♻️ Repost to inspire your network and follow me Kevin Box 🛡️ 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 📌 I'm hosting a free 1.5-hour workshop on December 6th at 9:30 AM Central Standard Time on the 5 Secrets to Growing Your Personal Brand and Monetizing your Digital Business.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀. That’s what makes Claude’s official Product Management guide worth reading. This isn’t “fun prompts you should try.” It’s a page that explains how Claude actually supports real PM work: ✔ Synthesizing research and user insights ✔ Breaking down large artifacts into decisions ✔ Generating structured options with constraints attached ✔ Helping with project artifacts while keeping context ✔ Supporting collaborative thinking with prompts that guide rationale Claude isn’t a replacement for thinking. It’s a teammate that can help you scale thinking, not just typing. As PMs, our job isn’t output — it’s judgment. And tools like Claude matter when they help with how you think, not just what you write. This guide frames exactly that. If you’re building or leading products in 2025 and beyond, understanding how to: • use Claude strategically • embed it into workflows • get it to reason with context is becoming table stakes. No hype. No shortcuts. Just a path toward smarter product work. 💾 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 🔁 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗣𝗠 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 🔗 Guide: https://buff.ly/ArKsSRL #productmanagement #aiinproduct #claudeai #productthinking #futureofpm #pminsights #buildbetterproducts #aradhyamudgal #bankpreneur
