About this session

Great leadership is not just about managing people. It is about building trust, making better decisions, communicating clearly, and helping others do their best work. This MentorCruise session is designed to support professionals who want to grow into stronger leaders, whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to become more effective in an existing role.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to navigate real leadership challenges and develop a clearer sense of your style, strengths, and growth areas. Together, you can work through topics like communication, delegation, feedback, team dynamics, decision-making, and executive presence. The goal is to help you lead with more confidence, self-awareness, and effectiveness in the situations that matter most.

Your mentor

I'm a Senior Technical Product Manager with 10+ years of experience leading teams and cross-functional work at Amazon and Venture Garden Group, and I hold an MBA from the W. P. Carey School of Business. At Venture Garden Group, I led a team of 20+ business analysts. At Amazon, I led AWS international expansion programs and generative AI work for Alexa Shopping. Much of that work meant aligning product, engineering, science, legal, and business partners who didn't report to me.

In this session, we'll focus on one leadership challenge you're facing right now. That might be:

stepping into a bigger role
leading without formal authority
handling a difficult stakeholder
building your team's confidence
becoming more visible for the work you already do

You'll leave with a clearer read on the situation and a few concrete next steps you can try right away.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 1 hour of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from Joann's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
