Product Management Career Coaching Services
As a full-time Product Management Coach, I collaborate with individuals and teams to create clear pathways into Product Management careers.
You’re in the right place if:
You’re an aspiring Product Manager with transferable skills
You recently landed your first Product job and need help navigating the first few months in the role
You’re a Product leader and would like to invest in transforming your team
You’ve spent the last six months trying to pivot into Product with no luck
My ethos
Fundamentally, I believe that Product Management careers should be more accessible.
In the same way that professionals can reasonably become Sales Representatives, Accountants, and the like, aspiring Product Managers need not pledge a secret society to gain access to the career.
My work entails partnering with individuals and teams to provide early-career Product Managers with the tools and guidance to become effective, efficiently.
Deep experience transforming Product Teams
I focus on career development and performance enhancement of early-career Product Managers.
HERE’S THE CONTEXT
Having started a Product career in 2011, before it was insanely popular, I’ve had the opportunity to learn within various cultures and industries.
Having been a Product educator for over half of my Product career, I’ve continued to learn. I’ve connected with early-career PMs and know their strengths and imposter syndrome intimately. I’ve taught Product teams to be high-performing and am super familiar with the conundrums teams face. As a coach, I’ve helped (literally) hundreds of clients land Product jobs. As a Ph.D. candidate, I’ve exhausted scholarly literature in the Product Management domain.
In total, I’ve observed a few niche and notable problems worth solving.
High-performing professionals with transferrable skills need a product-forward resume, interview feedback, and overall guidance to land Product Management jobs.
First-time Product Managers need help navigating the first 90 days in the role as you’re often left to figure out a very important role with little support.
Solid team members are leaving your organization because, in part, they lack the opportunity to spread their Product wings — even in a rough job market.
You’re familiar with the concept of a strong product-led culture, but it seems out of reach for you and your team.
