The Women In Product Podcast
Product Rising Podcast
Product coaching is gaining momentum, and now is the perfect time to explore how it can elevate your practice.
About the podcast
The path to product manager is rarely the same for each person, and the work in each role is distinct. We think it’s important to discover what makes the product experience unique through the words of real PMs—and to share this knowledge with the community. We ask leaders in the industry to share negotiation and career building techniques, insights on workplace dynamics, and tips to help people find their fit as a PM.
This podcast was started to give women product managers a voice so they can speak up and speak to each other about the reality of work as a woman or non-binary identifying product manager.
You will hear from PMs across industries, at various points in their careers and from different backgrounds. These community conversations touch on helpful resources, solutions to common difficulties, and help you become a better PM.
