Career Coaching
one-on-one. customized. success.
Looking at supporting your needs, I customize the coaching to what your focus requires. Your sessions will help with your frameworks, while providing you with advice and constructive feedback.
benefits. support. access.
Based on what your needs are, depends on how we structure the sessions. I will also provide access to worksheets, drills, and self-guided course materials.
individual. in-depth. session.
Regardless of how many sessions we have, I am committed to individualizing the session, diving in-depth into what you need. You can commit to multiple sessions or pay-as-you-go plans. To get the best out of coaching, it is best to meet regularly (weekly). But I am also open to helping people on a session-by-session basis.

Below I address some common questions.
Type of Help
I can help you improve on any aspect of being a product manager. Since 80% of what PMs do is communicate cross-functionally, a large part of what I do is help my clients improve their communication skills within product organizations of all sizes. But if you are struggling with skill sets such as product measurement or prioritization, I can also help with that as well. I have also helped a few people change roles from engineer or sales to product management by teaching practical skills.
Timing Questions
I think there are two parts to this question: (1) frequency of sessions and (2) session composition.
I am very flexible. I find that most people want weekly access for a minimum of 3 months, after that it depends. There are many leaders who work with a coach weekly, if you can afford it, I believe it is worth the money. I have periods where I work closely with my own coach.
There is a lot of listening on my part during these sessions. My style is that of a mentor-coach. Which means I help you think through your problems but in many cases I have experienced your struggles first hand and can give you advice or share experiences as illustrations. I also have a large number of tools I share to help you navigate complexities at work.
How Long Will It Take
It all depends on what your goals and struggles are. I can work with you for a few weeks, months or years. Many people are looking for weekly support for 3 or so months, then less frequent help after that. I personally think working with a coach every week or two is generally a great practice but it is not for everyone. Also your need for support ebbs and flows. I believe I can make you a better PM leader with weekly support, but length and cadence is up to you. If you want to set a goal and bound the help to accomplishing your goal, we can also work together that way. Everyone is different and I try to modify my programs to what each person needs.
