Don't wait for the title: Transition to product leadership today

About this session

Navigating the Product Management journey can be a very frustrating and lonely experience. Many of us get stuck in the shoes of a mid-level Product Manager longer than necessary, while only a handful of us get a lucky ticket to leadership by chance or design.

However, while the PM career might be elusive, there are proven ways of becoming a product leader, given the right mindset, approach, support, and circumstances. And sometimes, it requires us to become a leader first before getting a title.

In this interactive webinar, you will learn:

  • What product leadership is and what it is not
  • How to think and act like a product leader using the "Complexities Framework" - mini-masterclass
  • What steps to take today to apply the framework right away

About me

"I love products but I love humans even more, and I love the combination of humans and products."

Over the last decade, I have worked across various B2C and B2B product areas in hyper-growing startups like 15Five and enterprises, such as ServiceNow. As a yoga teacher and mindfulness practitioner, I also co-founded an e-commerce startup several years ago to design and build a reversible meditation cushion. Since then, I’ve been applying my entrepreneurial mindset to everything I do.

Before transitioning to full-time coaching, I led a distributed team of product managers at 15Five. The experience of working at a successful remote-first company made me realize even more how critical the human aspect and emotional intelligence are for product management and leadership.

Today, I work with individual product managers and leaders looking to intentionally grow in their product careers and product teams that are lacking a structured approach to PM career growth and development and hiring. I’ve also recently joined forces with a design partner to build a new venture that aims to solve problems for service-based solopreneurs.
