I see you, Product Manager
PROBLEM #1:
“You are successful at what you do, yet you aren't as visible to the right decision makers right now and want to create more influence with key stakeholders."
PROBLEM #2:
"You have had a good career so far, yet you feel like you have taken on too many responsibilities while adding much to your plate, and are ready to step into a more strategic position"
PROBLEM #3:
"You’re a high-achiever that has climbed up the ladder, buy you don’t really have clarity around what it takes to land the senior role you actually want to have."
PROBLEM #4:
"You know you should be making more money for your level of expertise, but you don’t feel confident in how to land the promotion that will get you the income you desire."
I get it, because I've been there
I'm a former product manager at Google for Crashlytics, the world's leading crash reporter for mobile apps. I’ve built a network of contacts at major brands in the product management field that still makes me a little starstruck. But most of all, I’m not stuck in a cube-farm, battling to get my ideas heard. And I've mentored hundreds of product managers just like you to get their ideas heard too.
What this boils down to is that I packed 20-plus years of product management experience and mentoring product managers at top companies into a hands-on, 10-week leader mentorship program to give YOU the inside-track to know what's possible, set clear career goals, create a roadmap, and acquire intangible leadership skills faster with me by your side every step of the way.
Product Leader Blueprint is so much more than a career plan. It's a promise that I'll do everything I can, make every connection for you, to make sure you get as much out of this mentorship as humanly possible.

Ian Swanson
VP Product at Lightspeed Systems
"I am happy to report that as of this week, I am now the Vice President of Product at lightspeed. And very much thanks to what I learned here and intentional product manager. I had done a ton of work to hone my product craft and have a high-performing team. But I was coming up against a ceiling for myself: how do grow to the next level? How do I find a way to operate with higher-level executives? It's a lot harder to start dealing with some of these higher-level thinking problems The communication and relationship skills I learned from the program were instrumental in helping tackle those challenges....and more"
Chris Ruhter
Director of Product at New Western
"The biggest thing that's come out of it is that I got that promotion, so I've made it to the director level. I've worked a long time for this. But in addition to that, my company asked me to take over for my boss as the head of product for the whole family of companies that my company has under its umbrella. And so, now I'm the head of product for four companies, leading a team of eight people. The future looks very bright, and I don't think I'd be in this position if I hadn't gone through this coaching. So I'm grateful for what I've learned in this program."

Still unsure if Product Leader Blueprint is right for you?
You are ready to be a product leader if...
- You're at an inflection point in your career... you just got a promotion to a new position, you want a promotion, you want to keep your position during leadership turnover, you've got your eye on landing the perfect job at a new company.
- You refuse to go one more day without a career goals and a roadmap to get there.
- You want the visibility and respect needed to influence company growth with bold ideas, and lead product development from a blank draft board and customer focus group to a raving release.
- You want to wake up very day inspired and end the day (even rough ones) feeling fulfilled by the work you do and that means you need to make time for YOUR mentorship over the next 10-weeks.
Product Leader Blueprint is NOT a fit for you if...
- You're just looking to string together more good days than bad days to "get by." If you don't aspire to a more fulfilling, higher paying career in product management, this mentorship isn't for you.
- If you think this mentorship program is about getting other people to change that usually means you're not coachable. If you truly think you have no control over your career trajectory this mentorship isn't for you.
Questions your fellow product leaders asked...
I have a lot of challenges that are unique to my situation.
Can I really land a leadership position without an MBA?
How do you manage to succeed in a company that doesn't value product management and just plain sucks at it?
Do these strategies only work at Google?
I'm already overwhelmed and mentally exhausted with work. When will I have the time and energy to do this?
Aren't I better prioritizing technique and analytical skills more than these "soft" skills?
It all boils down to this.
You just can't get this kind of training at university
(But it's almost impossible to succeed in product management without it.)
The best time to get a mentor was as you entered the industry.
The next best time is today.
Investment in Product Leader Blueprint isn't just about getting to present bold ideas or weathering the latest economic storm.
It's about where you'll be this time 12-months from now.
Will you be valued? Getting tapped for the top projects? Finally earning what you're worth?
Or will you still be standing on quicksand, under-earning, but surviving? Feeling underappreciated, invisible, and overlooked for promotions that might cost you $1M-plus in your lifetime career?
You have a choice.
You can try to figure this all out on your own using trial and error... you're a product manager after all.
But how long is that going to take you? How many choice projects or promotions do you get passed over for while you're scouring Reddit, Medium, and Google to patch together do-it-yourself career advice.
Or...
...in the next 10-weeks you can fast track your way into leadership in your company—or with a new company who's lucky enough to recruit you—directly responsible for a product or an entire portfolio strategy.
Being visible, trusted, viewed as effective, and making the key connections that you keep for years is the only viable career strategy in product management that doesn't end in burnout.
Give me a call.
