Author: PM Power Consulting October 19, 2024 Duration: 42:33

In this thematic  conversation on S-curves, I am in conversation with my colleague and Coach at PM Power, Mohan Ram..

In this conversation, Mohan touches upon various topics, including:

  • S Curves in Personal and Professional Life
  • Conscious vs. Unconscious S Curves
  • The Importance of Support Systems
  • Letting Go and Moving On
  • Preparing for New Roles
  • Retrospective Analysis
  • The Impact of Rapid Change
  • The Importance of Perspective
  • Leveraging Organizational Resources
  • Humility and Learning
  • The Role of Reflection and Self-Awareness
  • The Power of Mentorship



Behind every line of code, there's a person with a story. Software People Stories, from PM Power Consulting, moves beyond abstract theory and polished case studies to explore the real, human experience of building technology. This isn't about hypotheticals; it's a collection of candid conversations with the practitioners themselves-developers, designers, product managers, and architects-who share firsthand accounts from the trenches. They talk about the paths that led to success and, just as importantly, the unexpected detours and failures that provided the most valuable lessons. Each episode delves into the nuanced journey of discovering what users need, designing elegant systems, navigating complex development, and ultimately delivering solutions that matter. By focusing on these personal narratives, the podcast reveals the core of software creation: a blend of technical skill, creative problem-solving, and team dynamics. Listeners gain practical wisdom and relatable perspectives on the challenges and triumphs inherent in the tech industry. Tune in for an honest look at the craft, where the stories of people are just as crucial as the software they build. You'll find this podcast a refreshing source of insight for anyone involved in or curious about the technology and business landscapes, offering career lessons learned the hard way.
