"I love products but I love humans even more, and I love the combination of humans and products."This eloquent quote from Dr. Elizabeth Churchill, a UX Director at Google, reflects the essence of who I am as a coach and encapsulates my overall approach. Before “the combination of humans and products” led me to coaching and training, my passion for both brought many product managers to me, seeking guidance, mentorship, and support. And while over time I evolved into a people leader who works across cultures and continents, I remain a product manager at my core.Today, I work with individual clients looking to level up their careers and craft as product managers and leaders. Moreover, I partner up with product organizations looking to create a scalable career ladder and PM competencies framework, establish successful remote hiring practices, and build a strong team in a hybrid working environment. Connect with me, and let's explore your situation further. My coaching style is rooted in direct experience as a leader, manager, and mentor. Being a design thinking and mindfulness practitioner for many years, I draw my inspiration from both approaches when working with product managers. I tend to explore clients' strengths and rely on thought-provoking, sometimes difficult questions to assist deeper self-knowledge and reflection. My coaching style has some elements of training and mentorship and is inspired by Marty Cagan's approach to coaching and developing empowered product teams. Moreover, my Eastern European background, American upbringing, and years of world travel equipped me with deep curiosity and empathy for human nature and cultures. Therefore, I approach every situation with an open mind and tend to engage in active listening. That's how I make an impact.I always look for new collaboration and partnership opportunities.
