Coaching is the skill that I use most often in my professional life.  It’s amazing how effective it can be for helping us to figure something out. I highly recommend both being coached and learning how to coach.

- Scott Colfer, Head of Product at Ministry of Justice UK

When you move into a Head of Product role , coaching your team of Product Managers starts to become one of your primary roles and for some this can be quite a shock.

- Anthony Murphy, Product & Agility Lead at UST Global

Directors / heads of product should be judged by their weakest product manager. Their #1 responsibility is to coach them, and the rest of their team, to be more effective in their role.

- Marty Cagan, Founder and Partner at Silicon Valley Product Group

Learn to coach, learn to lead

The key skill that most new product leaders lack, and all top organisations expect from their leaders, is the ability to develop autonomous, empowered product teams. And they are fast discovering that the best way to do that is through coaching.

As a product manager, we learn to lead through influence. But coaching and developing others is an entirely different skill, and one that you're generally left to figure out on your own when you get promoted to a leadership position. That's why we developed our Learn to Coach program - to help you excel in your approach to leadership without the trial and error. We don't believe in just knowledge acquisition, but rather skills acquisition. So all our programs, including Learn to Coach, focus on practice and evidence as the foundation for your success.

So whether you are an experienced product manager ready to make the leap to leadership, or a seasoned product leader looking to up your game, our program gives you both the knowledge and the skills to be even more successful as you progress on your leadership journey.

A fast-paced program focused on practice and evidence

We know the only effective way to learn is by doing, and that's how our program works. It's like a design sprint for coaching skills.

Testimonials

Martin Graf

VP Digital Products,
Swisscom

“The way this program teaches you to use coaching when interacting with your team gives you far greater leverage and outperforms a traditional leadership approach. Through applying what I learned in the program I’m now able to unleash the full power of each person in my team. The coaching session at the end brought everything together for me, and it’s had a great personal impact that’s sustainable and long-lasting – it’s made a big difference in my life.”

Salman Malik

Director of Product Management,
Expedia Group

"Everything I learned on the program is actionable today, and can be applied across the majority of my meetings and interactions. The program also helped me to reflect on where issues may have originated in the past (not being fully present in the discussion, for instance) and how I avoid those issues in the future (active listening).Using what I learned on the program, I was also able to improve the way I support my direct line reports, so that rather than me telling them what they need to do, they are now able to articulate the next steps for themselves."

Andrew Milburn

Director of Product,
BGL Group

“Knowing you’re part of a process and involving your direct report in the learning journey forces you to be accountable. The coaching session pushed me to self-reflect and the program as a whole helped to refresh my knowledge and kickstart my interactions with my team. I took a lot away from it – it was a bit of a kick up the butt on how I was communicating with and leading my people.”
