Session: Doubt to Dominance: Overcoming Inferiority Complex
This talk explores the prevalent yet often overlooked issue of the inferiority complex among product managers. Occupying roles that blend diverse responsibilities and high expectations, product managers may grapple with feelings of inadequacy and doubt in their professional capabilities. This talk will discuss how such feelings manifest, including hesitation in decision-making, reluctance to assert opinions, and concerns about technical inadequacies compared to peers. The focus will be on reframing negative thoughts, leveraging small victories, and fostering a growth mindset to not just cope with, but thrive in the demanding environment of product management.

Outside the office, you can catch me on the basketball court or creating choreographies, or exploring new cityscapes with my love for the outdoors.
