Alyssa Dver, CEO of Wander Wear Inc., founder of Type @ Consulting.

Outstanding Product Managers have oxymoronic personalities - they must be confident but open-minded, highly organized but flexible, evangelistic experts but tremendous listeners. The skill set required to be a successful Product Manager can be overwhelming. Yet some Product Managers stand out as examples of having "it". What is "it" and how can any Product Manager get "it"?

In this session, Alyssa will discuss seven common habits of highly effective Product Managers. Focusing on straightforward actions and general practices, participants will leave with practical ways that they can significantly improve job effectiveness and satisfaction.
