Women's Product Leadership

June 2026

Cohort 1

Most PMs update their resume, apply through the careers page, and wait. This fails because it treats the application as the starting line. The candidates who land Staff and Director roles have started the conversation long before they ever click "submit," building conviction, proof, and visibility below the waterline. In this guide, I'll show you how to build all five layers of the Iceberg Method, with a 10-week action plan you can run alongside a full-time job.

If you're a senior PM who's been doing the work and still watching the right roles go to someone else, you already know it's not a skills gap.It's a positioning gap. But it doesn't have to stay that way.Imagine walking into your next search knowing exactly what makes you a market of one. Your LinkedIn signals your real level. Aligned interviews start coming to you instead of the other way around. You arrive at the offer call with a negotiation playbook ready.You stop waiting to be discovered and start attracting the right offers that match the leader you already are.That transformation is what this cohort is built to create.You'll define your spike, build a system that generates interviews without burning you out, and ship a working AI agent you can actually show a hiring manager. One recent member used this exact system to negotiate a base salary above the maximum band at her new VP role, three weeks after joining.This works because it's structured around the parts of the search that are actually holding you back, not the parts that feel productive but aren't.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://calendly.com/rachel-dowling/45min">Book a free discovery call </a>to see if this is the right fit for you.
