productmanagHER: A Safe Space for Women in Product Management – Details, episodes & analysis

After five years of building a coaching business dedicated to helping product managers advance their careers, I’m passing the mic to someone who deeply understands the mission and is ready to take it even further.

In this special episode of productmanagHER, I sat down with Jess Sherlock, the current owner of the SPRINT and SCALE Product Management Coaching Programs, and the force behind the fresh podcast, AFTER THE CERT: Helping Product Managers Get Unstuck. 

Together, we reflected on the journey that led us here and explore what the next generation of Product Management Career Coaching looks like.

This isn’t just a conversation about transition. It’s a powerful exploration of growth, mentorship, and what everyday product managers really need to thrive in today’s fast-moving world.

Whether you’re navigating a plateau, stepping into leadership, looking for a new job, or seeking support beyond certifications, this episode will leave you feeling seen and reminded that the best kind of growth often happens beneath the surface.

The SCALE Program is a 90 day, 1:1 Product Management coaching program designed as a performance enhancer for new Product Managers.

But the anxiety sets in. 

How do you show up as everything you sold in the interview process? What do you do first? How do I nurture what is likely the most vulnerable part of your career?
