Product Coaching for PMs and Product Leaders
Product roles are ambiguous by design.
That ambiguity is manageable early on — but it compounds quickly as scope, expectations, and pressure increase.
I coach Product Managers and Product Leaders who want help thinking clearly, making better decisions, and navigating real product challenges without burning out or second-guessing themselves.
This is practical, context-aware coaching — grounded in real product leadership experience.
FAQs
Who This Coaching Is For
1
Coaching is a strong fit if you’re:
A PM starting a new role and feeling overwhelmed or stuck
A PM or Senior PM navigating ambiguity without clear direction
A Product Manager struggling with prioritization, scope, or expectations
A product leader dealing with stress, pressure, or confidence gaps
A PM moving into a Lead, Staff, or Manager role
A Head of Product or Director needing space to think through complex decisions
This coaching is designed for people doing real product work — not hypothetical case studies.
What People Come to Coaching With
2
These are the kinds of situations coaching typically focuses on:
“I’m busy all the time, but I’m not sure I’m working on the right things.”
“I just started a new role and don’t know where to begin.”
“I’m expected to lead, but I don’t have clear authority.”
“Stakeholders want answers I don’t have yet.”
“I’m stressed, second-guessing myself, and worried I’m missing something.”
“I want to grow into a bigger role, but I don’t know what to change.”
Coaching gives you a place to slow down, unpack these challenges, and decide what to do next — deliberately.

How Coaching Works
4
Coaching is intentionally lightweight and flexible.
Typically:
1:1 sessions
Agenda driven by what you’re facing right now
Ongoing or time-bound, depending on goals
There’s no fixed curriculum and no one-size-fits-all framework. Sessions adapt as your role and challenges evolve.
How This Differs from Other Product Coaching
5
This coaching is:
Led by a former VP, CPO, and founder
Grounded in real product organizations — not theory
Focused on judgment, not templates
Practical, not performative
We’re not rehearsing interview answers or memorizing frameworks. We’re working through real decisions and real tradeoffs.
How Coaching Relates to My Other Work
6
Some people I coach are part of organizations I support fractionally.
Others come independently, often referred by peers or former colleagues.
In all cases, coaching is treated as a distinct engagement — focused on your growth, not organizational delivery.
What Coaching Is Not
7
To avoid misalignment:
This is not tactical task management
This is not certification training
This is not performance management
This is not therapy
It’s a professional space to strengthen how you think, decide, and lead.
Starting the Conversation
If you’re navigating real product tension and want space to think clearly before reacting, let’s start a conversation.
