Course overview

Product Management: Overwhelm to Clarity in 3 sessions

Product management can seem overwhelming, especially for first-timers in small or new teams with limited mentorship and support. PMs have a long list of tasks to complete, and there is no shortage of advice.


Product people are expected to do too many things:


Lead product design & development.


Deliver high-quality products that users learn, use, and trust.


Communicate well with all stakeholders, manage expectations, and influence people without authority


Learn about the market, business, laws, privacy, and security needs


And many more...


What's most important for you now? Your answer is unique to you. We will find it together.


You'll get an overview of the main things you can do and identify the most important next steps so you can feel more confident and less stressed.

Who is this course for

01

Startup people (founders, engineers, leaders, or designers) who don't have a dedicated or expert product person on their team yet

02

First-time product people who act as the only or first product person on their teams and have limited training, mentorship, or coaching

03

3x Head of Product (2 acquired), 7-year University Instructor, Startup Advisor & Coach, Linkedin Top Entrepreneurship Voice

I first started as a founding engineer of a startup. We didn't know what product was and how it could simplify everything for us. It was a painful 5-year period. Your startup experience doesn't have to be.


Three startups later in a similar capacity and many workshops, programs, and coaching sessions later, I have learned a few lessons to share.


My last two startups were acquired and I am still connected with many of my team members. I have mentored founders and teams at Founder Institute, Startup Weekend, Tech Stars, University of Toronto.


Skip the grueling grind and jump on the joyous journey.
