Jenny Wanger's Hot Take - Training Courses Are Useless If You Don't Engage Your Team Afterwards (with Jenny Wanger, Product Consultant & Coach)

Listen on

Episode notes

Jenny Wanger is a product consultant and coach who loves to educate PMs around the world and is doing just that with her product operations course on Reforge.

Her hot take? Product leaders send their teams off for training but then don't do anything when they come back, and nothing changes. This leads them to question the value of the training, but it's almost never the quality of the training that's at fault, it's what they (don't) do with it.

Find Jenny on LinkedIn and remember to check out her course on Reforge.
