Product Management & Standup Comedy converge on the focal point: Messaging Efficacy. Comedy is an essential part of human nature and how we interact using comedy influences societal dynamics. I’ve been a Product Manager for 6+ years but ever since becoming a comic, my communication skills have improved on a fundamental level. For eg: Rule of 3s or like the “Sleeper Effect”, i.e., how to let the content of your message resonate in your audience mind even after the show. One of the fundamental attributes of the PM role is that we have to influence a lot of people from across various disciplines. Engaging with a live unpredictable audience on a daily basis helped hone the skill of persuasion.
