“Lisa is an incredible coach, a Product-minded entrepreneur, and an overall caring person. She generously volunteered her time to me when I learned that my team at IBM would be affected by ongoing layoffs. Prior to our call, she pulled together helpful resources based on our prior correspondence and immediately suggested potential strategies that I could use to position myself for an effective pivot into Product Marketing. Although we only had one session, I would certainly have done more if I had been able to! If you are looking for an empathetic yet strategic and practical coach, Lisa is sure to surpass your expectations.”

MILLIONS of people have been affected by the pandemic - lost their jobs, financial security, and much, much more. After receiving hundreds of LinkedIn connection requests & invites to Zoom ☕️ chats, the TOP 3 questions I received were:
🔀 How can I make a career transition into #ProductManagement ?
📣 How do I translate my skills and experience into "PM lingo", demonstrating my value to a hiring manager?
🤝 Where can I find a community of people who are in the same boat, so that we can collaborate and support each other?
This sparked the idea 💡 for the 5 week Aspiring Product Manager (APM) - a collaborative learning community where people from around the world can learn & build together 🛠 🌿 Our goal is to make Product Management resources available & accessible to anyone - regardless of their financial situation.
Community members will have an opportunity to put on their Product Manager hat 🎩 and translate their skills into hands-on projects. This is a safe space to practice, grow, and fail forward ❤️ -

Within the technology industry, which already struggles with diversity challenges, product management plays a unique role. Over the last decade, product management has grown into an essential function that shapes tech products and directly impacts business success.
We want to put the story of those who identify as women in product — especially women of color, who face even more complex challenges — into broader context. This report provides a blueprint for the industry, with actionable insights that help the field make real, rapid change on behalf of the women already doing the work, and the ones who want to follow in their footsteps. -
