ACCELERATE YOUR PATH TO

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

LEADERSHIP

You are smart, analytical, customer-oriented and tech-savvy enough to make a great product manager. However, you have discovered that this is only the beginning.  There is so much more to do, to learn and to grow.

 

The load is hefty, the path is murky and you may be unsure of your next step.

Fragmented processes, unrealistic expectations, difficult interactions, growing pains or your doubts about the company or your abilities may be getting in the way. 

 

Or you may simply need an experienced product leader to partner with who can guide your decisions and increase your success.

What you need is the vision and clarity to see your way through, and the force and insight to propel you into the next stage of your career. 

​

A mentor can provide advice and help you see things in a new light.  And a coach can elicit transformation that positively impacts your work and your life.  I've been in your shoes. I know what it is like, and I would LOVE to help.

About

ABOUT ME

After 25 years as a Product Management leader in the B2B enterprise space working for large and small companies, and a founder of my own consumer app startup, chances are I have lived through and successfully overcome many of the product management challenges you are currently facing.  I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to share my experience with you and the vastly growing community of product managers who are driven to create life-changing products while enjoying a rich and rewarding career and balancing a healthy family or social life.

 

As a trained Co-active Coach, I help product managers step into their power as product and people leaders. With my coaching, product managers undergo transformation to become better customer advocates, executive partners with senior leadership, organizational influencers, team leaders and product visionaries. I support individuals in their personal and career growth by helping them move beyond limiting beliefs to tap into their power as creative, resourceful and dynamic leaders.

How I Can Help You

Product Management Mentoring

Choose this option if you are looking for advice on navigating your career, PM processes, product visioning and roadmap, working with customers and sales, advocating for your product or team, leading & growing your organization or dealing with challenging relationships.

Leadership Coaching

Choose this option if any of this resonates: You are feeling anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed, powerless or unsure of your career. You've received feedback that you lack confidence or executive presence. You are struggling with imposter syndrome. You have a deep longing for, but have not yet realized your full potential as a leader.

Forest Trees

Expand Your Vision

Big Picture View

   First and foremost, I would like to offer you kudos for your incredible achievements and dedication to your growth. You may have chosen to become a product manager because you want to make a difference in the lives of customers or you felt it was a good fit for your interests and strengths. Product management is indeed highly rewarding, but also extremely demanding and so you could probably do with some help.

 

   Can't see the forest for the trees. One of the traps that I see product managers fall into is they get so wrapped up in their day to day, heads down activity that they lose sight of what's happening in the market. To be an effective PM you have to continually keep your finger on the pulse of your customers, understand their drivers and pay attention to changes in the environment that may impact their needs. You also need to understand what keeps your CEO and other stakeholders up at night. To be a great leader, your perspective may need to shift.

 

   As a mentor, who has walked a similar path before you, I can help you see around corners, avoid potholes and point out possible blind spots. I can serve as a product partner, an expert advisor or a person to bounce ideas off of.  You can feel comfort in knowing that you have someone there to support you in your quest for higher levels of product leadership and growth.

​

   As a coach, I can help you tap into your natural, creative powers so that you can expand your vision, discover answers to your questions and choose the direction that is best for you.  Coaching will deliver insights, open your eyes to new perspectives, and offer you greater clarity so that you can make choices that are aligned with your values and mission.  In the process you will find yourself evolving as a leader and undergoing a transformation in how you see yourself and how you live your life.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Sophie, Head of Project Mgmt

Sophia has been able to help me significantly unblock some of my thinking processes and enable me to focus on my career.  I find that her coaching sessions are a great fit for my style and she is very professional. It's been a game changer for sure!

Isha, Project Specialist

For the last four months, I had the opportunity to work with Sophia who went above and beyond to coach me both on professional and personal fronts. Mentored by her, I was able to identify my strengths and articulate them better, which helped me secure four job offers from top companies in the pharma-biotech space. Sophia is an empathetic listener, who encouraged and motivated me through the often stressful job search period, and drove me towards success. I would recommend Sophia to everyone considering coaching.

Michele, Creative Leader

I didn't realize coaching was so powerful!   I felt almost hypnotized as Sophia's visualization technique allowed me to design and somatically experience an ideal day in my life.  By the end of the session I had a perfect routine and schedule mapped out, and was motivated to begin my work.
