💡 Product Circle ╠Chat - Netflix to Now: Personal Growth, Leadership & Cultures of High-Performance with Sue Bolton
​Welcome to 💡 Product Circle ╠Chat on 🕕Wednesday 21 May 2025 at 12pm  (AEST)
​Topic: Netflix to Now: Personal Growth, Leadership & Cultures of High-Performance
What makes Netflix’s product culture so unique?
How does it consistently deliver high performance and innovation at scale?
​In this Chat, Sue Bolton, a former Netflix Product Leader, unpacks the product culture at Netflix through the lens of Marty Cagan’s product operating model. She’ll explore how decision-making and communication flow beyond traditional org structures, and how strong feedback cultures create conditions where teams—and individuals—can thrive.
​But high performance isn’t just systemic—it’s deeply personal.
Sue will share powerful reflections on the inner work required to lead well: how we show up as role models, partners, and influencers. She’ll introduce her GRAILS framework—a tool to help you recognise and shift the mental patterns that hold you back.
​We’ll explore key questions like:
​Why am I having this experience?
​What is this moment teaching me?
​Who am I being, and who do I need to become?
​Whether you’re scaling a team, navigating a leadership shift, or simply hungry to grow, this session is for you.
​🎯 Learn from one of Netflix’s former product leaders how to:
​Build feedback-rich, high-performance cultures
​Lead with greater awareness, authenticity, and impact
​Apply lessons from Netflix to your team, product, and self
