Hemanth Babu Shekar, Product @ Rivian, ex-Meta, Amazon
Nancy's coaching is transformative. With 12 years in the tech industry, including 8 at Big Tech (Amazon and META), I regret not finding her sooner. Her blend of empathy, practical frameworks, and mindset work equips you with the tools for mental resilience in facing professional challenges with courage and clarity. Nancy excels at reframing problem statements and fostering a multi-perspective mindset. Her deep understanding of product management, drawn from years in the field, uniquely positions her to guide professionals through the role’s complexities. In essence, Nancy is more than a coach; she's a strategic partner in professional growth. For those in tech seeking a coach with a profound understanding of product management, Nancy is the game-changer you need.

Hanson Shen, Senior PM - Tech @ Amazon
One session with Nancy is like starting the senior PM career marathon at the half-way mark; it’s accelerated my process to reach my goals. The mindset shift needed for a senior PM to excel is difficult but crucial to make meaningful progress towards future milestones. Nancy leads sessions with empathy and focuses actionable guidance. She allows you to dream big and shares frameworks on how to navigate crossroads along the way, collapsing the time between dreaming and achieving.

VP, Viewer Immersive Experiences & Delight @ Roku

Back in 2019, I first encountered Nancy while I was assembling Roku's Enterprise Engineering team. During my networking efforts to connect with like-minded professionals, I met with Nancy, who was then working as a product manager for a similar group at Facebook/Meta. Our two-hour conversation proved to be incredibly productive. Nancy showcased her product knowledge, professionalism and willingness to assist someone she had never met before. Her insights and guidance helped immensely in my efforts to successfully establish the organization. Although I attempted to hire her back then, it wasn't possible until 2022 when our paths crossed again, and I finally had the opportunity to bring her on board at Roku. Presently, I am excited to witness her new venture into coaching. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone to take advantage of her services, as I have done on multiple occasions.

Nancy isn't just my coach - she's become like a sister to me. Over the past few months, she's helped me with so much more than just career stuff. We've worked on everything from strategy and personal branding to journaling and learning to trust myself instead of constantly looking for validation from others. The biggest thing Nancy taught me was how to actually accept and love myself. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. I feel so much more confident and grounded now than when we started. My energy is completely different. Look, everyone already knows Nancy is an incredible PM coach - that's not news. But what I want people to know is that if you're thinking about working with her, just do it. You won't be the same person when you're done, and I mean that in the best possible way.

So glad I invested in 1:1 coaching with you as soon as I started at my company. I can confidently say that my stress levels have been under control thanks to your unique approach that blends practical tactics with inner work. With results due tomorrow, I started to stress a bit, but then quickly stopped the downward spiral of emotions by focusing on my breathing and long term goals and past successes.

I am taking some time this weekend to reflect back on 2024 and I could not wrap this year up without saying - Thank you! This year has been transformational for me and it all started alongside you. From ditching the Gap mentality of chasing FAANG companies for the wrong reasons to starting my own business (which is at a wonderful $30K revenue YTD) to switching jobs and started playing in the big leagues instead of little leagues. This note is to express my gratitude to have found a coach like you, who has fundamentally changed how I approach my work life. I look forward to what 2025 has in store for both of us! Wish you happy holidays and early New Years wishes!

This is such a well-designed course. I can attest to Nancy's experience at Facebook. There are very few companies where you get to craft the kind of ambitious products we got to work on. This course will be of great value. I highly recommend it.

I have seen a lot of content in terms of Product. There a few aspects to it I realized: 🎳 Product Thinking : A problem-solving methodology for developing solutions for user problems 🎳 Product Sense :  The ability to understand a product's needs and what makes a product great 🎳 Product Mindset : A way of thinking that focuses on creating product solutions that provide real user value 🎳 Product Strategy : A plan that explains what a business wants to achieve with a product or feature 🎳 Story Telling : The art of creating the emotional connection, engaging in user empathy, explaining your why and bringing forward the solution in terms of the product you are building and the ability to build yourself up to: 🎰 Build the Product Muscle ⏱ Understand the way to think about solutions as Products 🛎 Interview for a PM Role It made me curious about Nancy Chu's Coaching Program on AllTakes (And I attended the version 1 of it) lnkd.in/gUw8VAuC A few things she is sharing as part of her course: 🔑 The PM Mindset 🔑 User Empathy 🔑 Solution Positioning 🔑 Mock Product Sense Interview  🔑 Office Hours & AMA and a couple of sessions with Diana Chen (Product Executive, Previously at ebay, Amazon and Lyft) and Minal Mehta ( CEO at Alltakes) who talked about their journey along the way A few things that I noticed that were different: 🔍 The Program evolves with the Coach Nancy Chu's interaction with her cohorts 🔍 The alumni are welcome to come back, unlearn, relearn and add value to themselves and to the future cohorts 🔍 The AMA sessions which focused more on the cohort and getting individual feedback on where they were at and where they wanted to go next 🔍 The size of the cohort was small and intuitively so to ensure engagement and participation A few of my takeaways that might be useful to you as well: 🐦 Spend most of your time in Problem Space(Define it, Understand what the Pros and Cons of it, Learn about your Unknowns) 🐦 You will make mistakes, most choices you make are going to be two-way (You can always roll them back or create solutions to alleviate the problems you come across on the way) 🐦 Think about Your Solution Space (What are you solving for, What is your maketplace, Why are you solving it now, What problems are you creating by solving this?) 🐦 How do you Quantify Success (What are your key goals, What would you want to accomplish as part of creating the results, Identifying the root of it, Understand the Criterion)
