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.

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
“Most people I meet in the product space chose a product career because they love working with technology and with other talented professionals to help improve the lives of their customers. So it bothers me greatly when I meet product leaders or product managers that tell me they’re unhappy at work. Fortunately, in many cases, coaching can make a real difference.
What I appreciate most about Nick is that he genuinely cares about helping product people work and live better, and he has coached many product leaders and product people towards greater personal and professional success and happiness.”
“Experiencing Nick’s coaching magic to grow my product leadership has been a blast!
Our thought-provoking conversations helped me empower my teams with more agency, strengthening their focus on outcomes that deliver real value.
Nick’s innovative thinking and deep product expertise gave me the confidence to navigate resistance and explore new approaches to transformation.”
“Nick is an amazing product professional, and I loved working with him.
His coaching significantly strengthened my product mindset and built the teams’ confidence in product discovery and prototyping.
I especially appreciated his kind and empathetic coaching style. I hope we get to work together again!”
“Nick was pivotal in growing my product capabilities and confidence. His coaching left me better equipped as CPO – strengthening my relationship with our CTO and helping me coach my less product-centric Co-Founder.
I highly recommend working with Nick and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again”
“Nick’s coaching was instrumental in my personal and professional growth. His expertise gave me the tools and confidence to navigate difficult situations, make informed decisions, and push beyond my perceived limits.
His guidance was invaluable during challenging times – helping me reframe problems, focus on where I could make an impact, and accept what was beyond my control. His ability to listen, adapt, and tailor his coaching made all the difference.
I highly recommend Nick to any product leader looking to grow their confidence, influence, and decision-making skills. His expertise, empathy, and commitment to continuous learning set him apart as an exceptional coach.”
“Nick is outcome-driven, helping leaders and teams measure impact while developing a growth mindset.
His deep product experience blends seamlessly with his expertise in workplace wellbeing, culture, and leadership. This gives him a unique ability to see both the organisational dynamics affecting leaders and the human dynamics shaping teams.
Nick’s greatest strength is turning these insights into pragmatic, actionable plans rooted in value, learning, self-awareness, and empathy.”
“I met Nick at Marty Cagan’s ‘Coaching the Coaches’ workshop in 2022, and we’ve since collaborated on multiple client engagements.
Working together on a product maturity workshop for senior product leaders at Abcam was a joy. Nick’s clear communication and deep expertise made a real impact. He brought a wealth of product knowledge to both the workshop design and execution, helping the client advance their maturity in Vision & Strategy, OKRs, and Organisational Design.
Beyond workshops, Nick has coached senior product leaders navigating complex transformations. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their Product Coach!”
