If you dropped your job title, could you still explain what you do?
Try it. Not "I'm a Senior Product Manager at X company" — but what you actually do, in words a stranger at a coffee shop would understand.
It's harder than it sounds. Titles let us hide behind a label instead of naming the real thing we're good at. And that's the problem — if you can't say it simply, it's hard for the right person or opportunity to recognize it either.
Here's mine as an example: I build a place where people can find others to build things with. No title required to understand that.
Your turn — drop the title, and tell me what you actually do.
