Got questions?
Why I created this program?
Over the last 3 years, while coaching and teaching about 400 Experienced or Aspiring Product Managers from around the world, through 6 cohort-based group training and coaching programs for different organizations, I came across some challenges PMs face at different stages of their careers.
After some market/competitor research on PM career/interview-focused programs, I saw some gaps,
with many PMs facing challenges despite these investments, not having the right tools or guidance.
When I launched my business in 2023, I applied my PM lens to it, and decided to solve for
these "job-seeker pain points" that are still unsolved by other training orgs, coaches, programs or solutions out there!
To solve these key pain points experienced by PMs,
and the desire to help more Product Managers in their careers,
and scale my impact as a Coach,
I decided to create this unique
10-week PM Level-Up Hybrid Coaching Program,
with both group and 1:1 sessions included,
and more accountability, fun, peer-learning & coach support built in,
to help drive maximum results for you - my clients, faster!
This program can drive results for you if you are.....
An Experienced PM
Who wants to accelerate your move to the next PM level...internally or externally..
Or...
​
You were laid off from your last employer, and want to get back to a PM role you love as soon as possible..
An Aspiring PM
Who has work experience in a field related to PM (e.g. Product/UX Design, Engineering, Architecture,
Product Analysis, Product Marketing...)
Or...
Who has recently attended a Product Training program and are now ready to do what it takes to get their first PM role!
OR...
From talking to many Experienced and Aspiring PMs like you,
I discovered a few recurring "user problems".
Here's a list of those problems, and...
HOW this program plans to solve them!
PROBLEM 1
Lack of clarity on your current PM LEVEL
​
Not knowing your strengths and skill gaps means, you're often targeting too high or too low!
​
PROBLEM 2
Lack of Personalization & one-size fits all programs
​
Difficult for YOU to see results and drive success!

PROBLEM 3
Inconsistent quality of instructors, coaches & mentors
​
Coach or instructor turn-over means you may get "stuck" with a bad coach or instructor, or face last minute changes
PROBLEM 4
Not knowing how to APPLY what you learn in coaching/training programs
So that you can GET the right PM job, and also be SUCCESSFUL on-the-job!
SOLUTION
This program starts with a unique PM Skills assessment created by Coach Pri!
Benchmark your current level, so we we're sure what to aim for!
SOLUTION
Craft your personalized career strategy & roadmap with Coach Pri during your 1:1 Kick-off Call!
-
​Bonus -Two 1:1 sessions
-
Small group sizes
SOLUTION
Get a consistent high-quality Coach + the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) advantage!
No last minute instructor or coach changes, or being stuck with a bad one ;-)
SOLUTION
Clients love how Coach Pri helps them understand real-life insights based on her experience practicing as a PM leader!
Case studies & Mock interviews are our friends!
WELCOME TO THE PM LEVEL-UP COACHING PROGRAM!
A personalized, one-of-a-kind, relevant Program, designed with you,
where you start only after a PM skills assessment,
to first know where you are,
so you can target the RIGHT PM role,
and...
Create a Personalized Career Strategy & Roadmap,
to help you make the most from the group program, to reach your goals,
faster than you could on your own!
What My Clients Say...
Coach Pri has the most supportive and encouraging coaching style. She put in a lot of time and effort to get to know me as a person, my motivations and fears, and brought out the best in me.
She helped me to tell my story such that I could highlight not just my PM skills but also my leadership skills, and this approach ultimately helped me land a Principal PM role in a new, growing product domain, with a high impact.
I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to uplevel their PM & interview skills & get to their next role faster!
Priyanka Upadhyay - Lead PM, Fedex (ex-Amazon),
SF Bay Area
Priyanka was a great Product coach who helped me immensely in my job search for a PM role. She is a good listener & gives valuable feedback. She even helped me outside our live coaching hours with my interview prep!
Because of my visa situation, I had a ticking timeline, but thankfully, with Pri's help and my efforts, I was able to land a job within that timeframe. It was an offer I was happy with, and the income was higher than my previous role!
Her guidance during my tough time of job search helped build self-confidence, gave me a novel approach to interviews, and set me up for success in my role as a PM.

How this program's different
Imagine you're at a hotel breakfast buffet - you have some choices...
You can eat scrambled eggs from the buffet that are made-for-all,
Or
You can order make-your-own eggs, just the way you like it - over easy, egg-white scramble, or an omlette with all the fixings, or even an egg-free vegan version!
But you might be thinking,
Make-your-own egg options are typically more expensive Priyanka.
Or, maybe you don't know what you want, and you'd rather have it made for you.
And now, what if I said to you,
that you have a rare opportunity.
You could share with the restaurant or server what you like and dislike,
and based on their knowledge & experience in the kitchen,
they will craft your breakfast just for you!
At a similar price of the breakfast buffet, you are instead being served a delicious, healthy, freshly-prepared breakfast, based on what you want, but also, what your body (and mind) needs!
We will take a similar approach for our PM Level-Up Hybrid Coaching Program!
​
This is NOT another one-size fits all group program,
which makes it difficult for you to get what you really need, in order to succeed.
​
Instead, Coach Pri will deliver a flexible, personalized program for YOU,
with 1:1 coach support built-in, and,
the accountability and peer-learning benefits of a group program,
​
so that, YOU can fast-track your path to your PM career goals!
While coaching and mentoring clients, I have learnt that there are 3 keys to client success...
Keeping the above success factors in mind,
here is the...
Program Structure
We will meet online over video call 2-3 times a week, for 10 weeks!
1. Tuesday evenings PST ("preparation") - 60-90 minutes
-
OPTIONAL- Wednesday mornings PST (for clients who are not in pacific timezone) - 60-90 minutes
2. Friday mornings PST (for ALL clients) - Group Mock Interviews - 60-90 minutes
Key challenges for PM job-seekers while preparing for interviews,
are "context switching" & "applying what they learned"...
So, this program will focus on one PM topic per week!
Think of it as going to a 10-week group fitness program at your gym!
Here's what you'll need...
1. PLANNING & PREPARATION - Organize your schedule, create an exercise + diet plan, and stretch to get ready!
2. PRACTICE - Go the gym, work with the fitness coach, join your group, & do the exercises to reach your goals!
3. MINDSET - You will also need to work on your Mindset, not just your body, to achieve your fitness goals at the gym.
​
​
Let’s say you work on all the 3 things above - consistently for 8 weeks..
​
Until one day, you’re at the end of the journey, and..
You suddenly notice you’ve got muscles, you feel more fit, and BETTER than you ever did in your life...
You have succeeded!
We will take a similar approach for our 10-week PM Level-Up - Group Career Coaching Program!
​
Our Tuesday/Wednesday sessions will be about Preparation (case study, behavioral or other prep), and..
Our Friday sessions will be about Practice (mock interviews)!
​
And we will work on Mindset as part of each session, through both - open Q & As, and planned topics.
Key outcomes from this program:
1
Clarity
Get clear on your superpowers, skill gaps, your career story, your personalized career strategy, and your interview preparation and approach, to accelerate your success!

This Program is NOT for:
-
People who are not committed to putting in the effort to grow in their career.
-
This program needs a consistent commitment of 6-8 hours per week to see results!
-
People who are not willing to take accountability to improve their knowledge or skills.
-
People who are not "coachable" or are unwilling to trust the coach's proven process.
-
Aspiring Product Managers who have no prior Product Management knowledge, training, internship or volunteer experience, or apprenticeship.
What this Program includes:
Why invest in yourself
(or this program)?
First, let me ask you this - how do you define success?
I asked a similar question to 100s of Experienced and Aspiring PMs...
"WHAT MATTERS THE MOST to YOU?"
3 Key Success Metrics (Leading Metrics!) emerged :
1. Impact
Domino effects...​​
-
Confidence
-
Self-trust
-
Financial success
-
Health
2. IncomeÂ
Domino effects...​​
-
Quality of life
-
Happiness
-
Health
-
Relationships
3. Time-to-Success
Domino effects...
​​
-
Financial impact
-
Career impact
-
Mental health
-
Relationships
You might be thinking, hmm, I'll just try the DIY (Do-it-yourself) route...
Let's see what that might do to these 3 success metrics:
You achieve your desired PM role,
however...
Best Case Scenario
Your "Time-to-success" metric
is DOWN (took you too long)
​
​
Domino Effects:
Financial loss due to lost time!
Frustration + Exhaustion
You "settle" for a role at or below your level,
however...
Most Likely Scenario
Your "Income & Impact" success metrics are DOWN!
​
​
Domino Effects:
Financial loss - could be short or long term!
Lost confidence
You stay stuck in your current role, no growth,
And...
Worst Case Scenario
Your "Income, Impact and Time to-success" metrics are..
ALL DOWN!
​
​
Domino Effects:
Long term financial loss
Impact on mental health
Yes, I want to increase my income & impact,
& fast-track my PM career!
