As you set your sights on a career in product management, you will face the daunting challenge of having your resume overlooked, struggling in interviews, or feeling uncertain about the skills and experiences you need to develop.

My Specialties

*3 and 6-session packages require at least one session per week. 12-session package allows for distributing 12 sessions across up to 20 weeks. Full support is provided between each session. Packages can be upgraded at any time.
Whether you want to mix and match from the different options above or choose something unique to you, there is an investment level that will help you build momentum in your product management career.
How do you create career momentum?
You set goals.
You commit.
You act.
You adjust.
You achieve.
Rinse and repeat.
“Whatever beginning goals you set for yourself, following through on them will build momentum and a sense of achievement and those small successes will point the way to bigger ones.” ― Pamela Glass Kelly
But what if your actions aren't leading to your goals, or the pressure to achieve them is causing you to procrastinate? What if self-doubt is holding you back, or you're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available advice, making it hard to avoid common PM pitfalls that hinder your learning and growth?
Having a coach who knows how to build momentum at every career stage, and recognizes your specific context and goals, can foster clarity and focus which leads to better momentum.
While upskilling is important, building momentum requires action, feedback, and adjustment.
What does that look like for each PM career stage? Here are some examples of momentum-building focus areas:
New Product Managers (0-1 year experience)
Early Career (2-3 years experience)
Mid Career (4-7 years experience)
A coach is your personal PM trainer - the person who understands where you are, where you want to go, and can bring clarity to the actions you take to achieve your goals.
With clarity comes focus. And with focus comes mastery.
"The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus" ― Robert Greene, Mastery
Let's build your career momentum together.
Are you currently leading a team in an IC role?
Looking to move from IC to product leader?
Recently landed your first product leadership role?
Whether you’re an IC or have already landed your dream leadership role, moving from “leading with influence” to “leading with influence AND authority” is a significant transition, filled with new challenges and responsibilities that require new skills.
As an emerging or new leader, your focus shifts from solely managing products to also leading people, process, and strategies. Now your momentum is in direct correlation with your team’s momentum. Their success is your success. It becomes essential to understand how to build momentum for you and your team together.
What would building momentum for you and your team look like?
As you navigate this significant transition, the right guidance can make all the difference. With the added responsibilities and the shift in your role dynamics, it’s crucial to not just manage, but to inspire, strategize, and lead with both influence and authority.
Take the first step towards building momentum for you and your team.
Every product manager's journey is unique and yours is no exception. Whether you have clear goals or are seeking direction, we can craft a coaching package that works for you.
How do we build a custom package?
Then, you have two distinct paths to consider:
1) Coaching
In coaching, our initial session or week is dedicated to:
The insights from our first session will guide us through the remainder of your chosen investment level, focusing on measurable progress and specific outcomes.
2) Mentorship
While coaching includes elements of mentorship, choosing mentorship as a standalone path serves a unique purpose. It's less about specific goals and more about having a space to explore, reflect, and grow at your own pace.
Mentorship is about:
As your mentor, I aim to guide you not just towards specific achievements but towards overall personal and professional growth.
Why Choose Mentorship?
If you're a product manager who values ongoing, holistic guidance over targeted, objective-driven coaching, mentorship is for you. It's ideal for those who appreciate having an experienced ally in their corner – someone to celebrate the highs, navigate the lows, and offer wisdom every step of the way.
Whether you're looking for to build a strong foundation or want a coach and mentor for the long-haul, there is an investment level that can work within your budget and timeline.
All coaching packages provide investment levels designed to help you realize real value, no matter the timeline.
How do I build a personalized KVD Coaching package?
1) Review the recommended focus areas by PM career stage. Consider where you are at in your PM career.
2) Determine your level of investment.
Each combination of focus area and investment level provides personalized support and artifacts, as well as:
*12-session Career Transitions package is a 16-week timeline. All other 12-session packages are 12 weeks.
**I do not provide a la carte services. A minimum of 3 sessions is required for all services including LinkedIn profile strategies and resume inventory building.
