Growth in the Product Manager role
I strongly believe in the idea that great product managers aren’t just found – they’re made. In my experience, the right kind of coaching can turn someone with potential into a real star in the product management world. It’s not about being born with the skills; it’s about developing them in a way that fits the unique challenges and needs of each company.

In my coaching, I focus on building up essential skills like really understanding the product, getting to grips with the industry, and nailing the data and business side of things. But it’s not all about the technical stuff – I also help product managers get better at working with people, which is super important. This approach means that the product managers I work with aren’t just good at their jobs; they’re tailor-made to excel in their specific company environment. I love helping people unlock their potential in this way, and it’s at the heart of what I offer in my coaching services.
