Course overview
Our goal is to get a lot of hands-on practice with pre-work for each session. We will do lots of in-class examples and workshopping together.
This is the approach I've used for the last 20 years leveling up my own PM teams and as a 5-star Google PM coach, a large percentage of whom were able to be promoted and some whom are now VP's, directors and GPM's.
You will be working and leaning in and getting cold called a lot during class :-)
Class 1: Nail the exec summary.
Class 2: Nail the money slide.
Class 3: Own the room.
*Every class will end with a 20 minute AMA with Tom to dig into specific nuances you need more guidance on or to share specific challenges you're facing for a review coming up or that just happened at work.
**In between classes, you will also have access to unlimited Q&A in the student portal.
01
You're an APM up to L6 PM and are expecting to do more product reviews. You want to be ready for the challenge.
02
You've gotten perf feedback that your product reviews are not landing despite a lot of preparation.
03
Your organization has new leadership and they're telling the org they want to uplevel their product management excellence.
04
You love product reviews and want to become a master at them.
Frame your review so you win early
Review why execs want product reviews, the different types, and common traits of successful vs unsuccessful ones. Students will play the role of product reviewer and Tom will present to you so you can assess, discuss, and see the review from the pov of the Directors and VP's.
Nail the exec summary so your storyline is crisp and lands
Using a case study you'll have read in advance of class, you'll work on a one slide exec summary and then we'll share, critique, and discuss as a small group. The goal here is to strengthen your ability to distill key information and themes in a logical, crisp, and persuasive way
Build the deck to lock in the key discussions and secure the input you need
Hone the art and science of going the next level deeper in detail, ensuring a deck flows, and we're framing the problem, providing relevant info, mapping out the option space, making a reco, making an ask, etc.
Present like a pro so you come across as a Sr IC with GPM potential
Develop your voice, handle objections, and manage pacing. We'll have lots of exercises where we practice presenting as well as taking questions, getting interrupted, stumped, and overruled.
Set a new high-water mark for your next review
Our goal will be for you to have a 10-20% better review after taking this course. We want your manager and skip level to notice that you're more buttoned up, clear headed, and manage the review for improved impact to the business.
