What do you do if your career in product marketing needs a personalized learning plan?

I find that ai has a huge knowledge and it's ideal to test you current knowledge vs AI. from there you can see what you need to further expand what you know and want to learn.

You don't know what you don't know. They only way to find your gaps and edges is to embrace projects that feel slightly out of your comfort zone. During those, take note of where you're falling short and find courses, communities, or mentors to help guide you.

Assess your current skills, identify gaps, and set clear, measurable goals. Then, seek out resources like online courses, mentorship, industry networking, and hands-on projects to create a tailored learning plan aligned with your career aspirations in product marketing.

As an AI fan I use AI for this to set goals. It works great. You can set any goal, time and optimize this along the way. It has been very helpful for me.

You should always personalize your learning path with a mix of suggestions from your company/manager that are role based and your personal plan. My recommendation: 1. Mentoring is where you can learn the most. Find a senior product marketing or someone who inspires you so you can learn "from experience". 2. Experience in product marketing also comes with time, developing your soft skills is key as this role requires a lot of managing relationships and aligning with different people. 3. Learn about Generative AI and how it can enhance your marketing skills. The internet is vast, but LinkedIn, Coursera or others alike offer you options to learn whatever you want for free.

I combine learning typically finding information online, hearing different podcasts. coaches not really as there are to many and only a few good one. My main coach remains the AI which when prompted right is my nr 1 resource.

Also for this I let AI create part of my learning. I can set the level, difficulty of questions and it can create my schedule every week to match my agenda which it has access to.

I found sharing knowledge is valuable, writing e-book, small drip fed post on different topics i learned. It helps other people to also learn.

One of the highly recommended books on habit building and sustaining is Atomic Habits by James Clear . One of the key tenets of the book is the compounding power of daily habits. Little progress everyday goes a long way in achieving the impossible . Learning is no different . Understanding the needs of the role helps craft a focused learning goal . Although initially it may seem that the plan itself is daunting but effort put everyday(no matter how small) helps move the needle. I have personally applied this rule in a few recent personal learning projects and have seen multifold results.
