For Senior Product Managers
PRODUCT COACHINGWhen product roles get complex, most people are left to figure it out alone.
From early-career product managers learning the fundamentals,
to senior PMs stepping into leadership,
to product leaders navigating complex challenges – the pattern is the same: you’re expected to operate at the next level before anyone shows you what “good” actually looks like.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked my way from Product Manager to Chief Product Officer. I know how the challenges change at each level – and how hard it is to find practical guidance from someone who has actually done the job.
I help product managers and leaders make better calls – and move forward with clarity and confidence.

PRODUCT COACHING
Senior Product Managers
“I’m ready for the next level – why does it feel so hard to break through?”
You’ve been leading cross-functional squads for years. You’re technically proficient at core product management skills, and know the theory – and more importantly, when to apply it and when to ignore it.
You’re delivering bigger and more valuable product initiatives. You’re trusted. And you finish the week tired, not because it’s hard, but because you’re no longer being stretched in the right direction.
But the next step? It’s not happening.
Or worse, someone less experienced than you has been hired into the leadership role you wanted.
You’re being asked to keep doing the same work.
And you can’t quite figure out why leadership isn’t seeing what you’re capable of.
This leap is no longer about doing great work. It’s about:
How you show up
How you’re perceived; and
Who is backing you
Product Ascent helps senior product managers move from high-performing individual contributors to recognised, trusted product leaders.
Through 1:1 coaching, you’ll work through the real situations that are likely holding you back – so you can shift how you show up, how you’re perceived, and who’s backing you.
How it works
Initial session to map where you are – and what’s holding you back
6× 1:1 coaching sessions focused on real situations you’re navigating
Personal positioning & visibility review – how you’re showing up and being perceived
What you'll walk away with
Stronger leadership presence – show up in a way that signals you’re ready for the next role
Influencing at a senior level – align stakeholders, navigate tension, and build trust at senior levels
Sponsorship, not just support – position yourself so the right people advocate for your progression
A note on outcomes: There are no shortcuts to leadership – and no program can guarantee a promotion. What this does do is help change how you operate. The more you apply it, the more visible and impactful you become – and that’s what creates real momentum. This works best for people who are willing to reflect, adjust, and take ownership of how they show up.
This is for you if you’re already performing – and ready for the role to catch up with your capability.
