My Services
Pivot into product
Your high-touch, concierge coach cutting through the BS to help you break into product.
You work in tech and want to break into product, but don’t know where to get started. You could sign up for a bootcamp, but it’s expensive and not customized to your level . Mock interviews only cover one piece of the puzzle, without continuous feedback loops. You’ve read Cracking the PM Interview or setup coffee chats with other PMs, but still struggling to piece together a plan. Perhaps you’re considering giving up.
I want to help you turn your doubt into an action plan to land the product gig. Specifically, we will:
Personalized learning plan: step-by-step plan tailored to your current skills, with vetted product resources from leading experts and my own journey.
Portfolio plan: Brainstorm on ways to build a portfolio of product projects, inside and/or outside of work. Tips on how to frame those projects on your resume for maximal impact.
Interview prep: I’ll go above and beyond to ensure you excel across all buckets and prepped for any scenario.
Search strategy: Identify industries/roles where your existing tech experience is best positioned to help you break in, as well as actionable tips to network/position yourself in interviews.
“On call”: high touch concierge support when you go through the interview process (aka mock interviews crafted for whichever interview you have coming up)
Develop Strategic Leadership
Your approachable, experienced peer that will equip you with the skills and confidence to become a strategic leader through hands-on development.
You’re an early or mid-career PM stuck in execution mode. You’re itching to spend more time on strategy, but you don’t know where to get started. You don’t feel safe asking your boss for help, afraid that you need to be more “put together” in front of them. Or maybe they’re too busy. Or maybe they don’t have much experience to guide you.
I want to help turn your confusion into wins on your product portfolio. Specifically, we will:
Interactive Strategy Sessions: We'll brainstorm project ideas, explore approaches, and refine the plan together, ensuring it aligns with your organization's needs.
Data-Driven Decisions: Learn what data to collect based on your product stage and receive support navigating stakeholder involvement.
Resources: Frameworks, templates, and examples to jumpstart creating the strategy artifact once you have alignment on direction.
Sharpen Your Story: Tactical feedback on your strategy artifact, focusing on clarity, storytelling, and product rigor.
Practice Practice Practice: Refine your presentation with a personalized dress rehearsal before you wow your peers/manager, along with written feedback and tips to perfect the slides and delivery.
Mindset work: Space and tools to overcome limiting beliefs to increase your confidence in your ideas.
Design Your Career
Your career partner that helps you take a step back so you can take several, values-aligned steps forward.
You’re an experienced PM considering what’s next and contemplating starting an intentional search. Or maybe you want to explore new industries, start a side hustle, or pivot to a new career completely. Or maybe you’re burnt out and considering a sabbatical, but don’t know how to approach it.
I’ve been through all of that, and I want to help you gain clarity amidst the uncertainty. Specifically, we will:
Career vision: Your career vision is a combination of your values and/or purpose statement. We’ll do this through both cognitive and somatic exercises, utilizing your mind and body as signals.
Brainstorm paths: I’ll bring my own experience to help you brainstorm ways to actualize your career vision, expanding your scope on what’s possible.
Experiments: we’ll identify and prioritize experiments that you can run to test out the various paths in a safe and action-oriented ways. I’ll share tips on scoping and running your experiments, and offer introductions to folks in my network that can be helpful.
Safe space: Ongoing support to process the feelings of uncertainty and confusion, as well as analyzing results of “experiments” to make a career decision.

FAQs
What’s your style of coaching?
My coaching style is that of a mentor-coach: I ask questions that drive introspection but also provide guidance that helps contextualize the challenge. I am an equal participant in the conversation: not just as a listener, but a partner in brainstorming solutions and figuring this out, together. Tactically, this looks like working with you to dig deeper into the problem, identifying potential solutions, and trying something out (and iterate). I share my own experiences to provide additional data points of how to navigate certain decisions.
Note: I do NOT provide medical advice and/or counseling. If you are struggling with mental health and/or physical health issues, I strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a medical professional and/or counselor. As a coach, my advice comes from my personal and professional experience and is NOT meant to qualify as professional medical advice.
Why coaching?
My purpose is to be seen and help others feel seen through storytelling, whether it’s through directly sharing what happened to me or helping others reframe the story they share about themselves. Coaching allows me to do both in a one-to-one model that really energizes me. Plus, it brings me the greatest joy to see someone accomplish something that they didn’t think was possible. I also love being an advocate for folks outside the constraints of a traditional corporate manager-report relationship, giving me more freedom to truly focus on what’s best for the individual while balancing the needs of the corporation.
What if I want to work on something that doesn’t fit into your services?
Grab time to chat! I can always design something custom to your needs :)
How much do you charge?
II will be happy to walk you through my packages in our free consultation.
What if I have financial constraints?
I totally get that coaching is an expensive investment. I offer payment plans (to space our your payments) and have limited sliding scale appointments. Additionally, we can explore if we can get your employer to cover your sessions.
Do you offer a free trial?
I offer a free initial consultation so you can get a sense of my style and we can come up with a plan for how we might work together. You can also subscribe to my Substack to get a sense of how I think about careers.
