In this focused workshop, you'll learn to build your career using battle-tested product management frameworks.


Map your value with the Big Sheet. Design strategic moves that align with real opportunities. Turn goals into measurable wins using OKRs - the same system driving success at top companies. Make confident decisions using the Opportunity Audit framework instead of gut feeling.

Your job is just one feature of your career product, and with Loaded every move builds momentum toward your bigger vision.
