About

Do you want to get stronger as a product leader? Do you need to build your executive presence, learn to delegate and deliver feedback, manage stakeholders, and build a strong product strategy? In my 15 years in tech, I learned that none of that is rocket science. I made fast progress in my career in product management and worked at B2C and B2B companies around the world. Most recently, I was a Director of Product at ServiceNow.

WHY LEADERSHIP COACHING?
My own leadership journey was not painless. When I first became a manager, two-thirds of my team quit within a month. I was especially sad because I had not taken that job lightly. And yet, I clearly sucked at it. I took this situation extremely personally, as if my direct reports' departure indicated that I was fundamentally a bad person. The work I did over the next several months taught me a lot about myself, about others, and about leadership. Long story short: three years later, I was already a director with a big team of PMs who enjoyed working for me and were building world-class products.

Good leadership starts with introspection: no books or courses can help you define what kind of leader YOU need to be. Leadership is about being comfortable in your skin. That's why personalized coaching works better than any other tool.

FOCUS AREAS
- Product Leadership
- Executive Presence
- Stakeholder Management
- Delegation & Feedback
- Team performance

MY APPROACH
My coaching practice is deeply rooted in my passion for psychology. As a certified professional coach (ICF PCC & CPCC), I believe that people learn best when they think about their problems and reach their own insights. My role in this process is to ask you questions to help you think, reflect, and find your unique solutions. Unlike many other mentors, I will not give you advice, frameworks, or homework.

5 out of 5 stars

Great therapeutic experience considering my professional cross-over situation. Every discussion with her helped me bring out a new version of myself, understanding my inner self with outlook of professional workspace. The collaboration with Anna helped me overcome my shortcomings and fear of facing reality. I would definitely recommend.

I was looking for mentoring in a few leadership areas. Anna was able to help guide me by asking the right questions to explore and learn, rather than solve my problems for me. Anna's mentoring strategy is excellent and versatile, crossing different disciplines. Very highly recommended.

Anna, is an amazing mentor you can ask for. She's very knowledgable in her craft, and helped me realize my blind-spots that I've been ignoring for years and I made huge progress through her observations and Insights. I highly recommend her. Looking forward to working with her again soon.
