Product Mind Community
The Product Mind Community Manifesto The Community is a safe space to communicate and share - with other similar product professionals, in a group or individually, as you need on any topic you want advice with, or just a space to talk. The Community is a forum to discuss key topics on wellbeing in product -, as part of chat conversation, live sessions or other initiatives. The Community is a knowledge base - providing access to topical articles, specialists and conversations specifically to support the wellbeing of product professionals. The Community is free and voluntary for all - to support all and allowing members to give as much to the community as they receive. This includes the community leaders who provide what time they have to supporting members. The Community is a collective where hierarchy does not exist - Whether you've been a product professional for ten days or ten years, all opinions and areas of experience are valued equally. Everyone has a voice and everyone's voice will be heard. The Community is a non-judgmental environment - where members understand no one has the right to judge or criticise anyone else's thoughts, feelings or actions - even if we've been in similar situation ourselves we understand our situations might still be different The Community embraces and welcomes individual uniqueness and differences - Our beauty comes in our diversity, and we celebrate, and protect, everyone's rights to speak up and be themselves. This community belongs to all of us. Its power and the benefit we all stand to gain from it is all of our responsibility. We hope that this, and our individual ability to have such a positive impact on the community and the wellbeing of others, is an empowering fact and makes this a rewarding community to be a part of.
