Product Leadership coaching that builds your product muscles
It’s okay to feel stuck as a product leader
Leading impactful product teams gives you purpose, but also headaches. You feel overwhelmed, stressed, and lonely. You’re expected to provide strategic context and shape the product direction. Meanwhile, you must align and empower your people to execute brilliantly in that direction.
You feel like a puppet pulled in opposite directions. C-suite pressures you to deliver, but your team needs time and attention for healthy, high performance. You want to grow as a leader and a product thinker, but you can’t move forward.
I can help.

Support and Accountability
Together we form a pragmatic, iterative plan for you to take small steps forward toward your big goals.
How I work
We begin by assessing if we’re a good fit. I want you to achieve your outcomes so you need the right coach. If that’s not me I’ll happily recommend you to a trusted coach in my network.
If we choose to work together, my priority is you. I care deeply about your outcomes, and I am only successful when you’re successful.
Trust is paramount to my human-centered coaching style. I listen more than I talk, and ask probing questions to guide your learning.
With over 3 years of coaching experience and more than 10 years as a product practitioner and leader, I have a solid understanding of your world. I can also adapt to be more directive or consultative based on the context.

Testimonials
“I wish I had known Nick early in my career because I truly think I would have been better for it.”
"Most people I meet in the product space went into this field because they love working with technology, they love working with other talented professionals, and they want to help improve the lives of their customers, and make a positive difference in the world. So it bothers me greatly when I meet product leaders or product managers that tell me they're unhappy, either with their role, their employees, their teammates, or their leaders."
“Nick has been an exceptional Product Coach to me for the past few months. Nick's deep knowledge and vast expertise in product management have been evident in his coaching approach. He has a unique ability to understand the challenges and struggles that Product Managers face on a daily basis in complex organisations and provides practical solutions that are easy to implement. His insights and guidance have been instrumental in my growth as a Senior Product Manager.”
“Driven. Thorough. Thought provoking. These are just some of the excellent qualities I observed during the time that I worked alongside Nick.
When Nick is speaking in front of a room, the audience is captivated. I was always motivated by his constant stream of new and innovative ideas. His energy for pushing forward Products and Customer Experience is met equally by his passion for prioritising and empowering the team around him.”
“Nick is a brilliant interactive storyteller, weaving humour and a really positive approach into his very personal story. As an audience member, you know he is being honest and authentic, and his openness inspires action and conversation off the back of it every time. For anyone thinking of working with Nick, or asking him to come and speak at their workplace or with their community group - DO IT NOW.”
“Nick joined us at Memorisely to speak about Mental Health Awareness with Product Designers across the world. His gentle approach to a difficult subject provoked generous discussions afterwards and even encouraged others to be vulnerable and share their experiences. The way Nick is opening up the dialogue about Mental Health in the workplace is refreshing and inspiring.”
“Nick was pivotal as a digital product consultant and coach in growing my own product capabilities and confidence
I felt more equipped as a product founder and future product leader as a result of the time I spent with Nick”
“It was a pleasure to work with such an amazing product professional
His coaching substantially improved the teams' product discovery capabilities, and my own product mindset”
“Nick’s unique selling point is the balance he strikes by combining his own personal experiences and learnings, alongside academic research, insights, and practical tools.”
