SPRINT
Product job search strategy and coaching for aspiring and early-career Product Managers
Hi, I’m Blair
I vividly remember starting as as Associate Product Manager back in 2011.
With over 12 years of direct Product Management experience, 6 years as a Product coach, and 100+ first-time Product Managers placed, I’ve learned a thing or two about pivoting into Product.
Whether you want to pivot from a Project Management position into Product (finally) or maybe you’re a current Product Manager who needs a little help landing your next opportunity, we can help you navigate the resume, application, and interview process with a lot less guesswork.
Overview
SPRINT is a three-month hybrid (1:1 and group) coaching experience specifically designed for high-performers with transferrable skills who need help navigating their Product Management job search.
Background
You’ve applied to several Product Manager jobs, and haven’t heard back for at least an initial interview. Or maybe you’ve finally landed the ever-so-evasive interview, and you bombed it. You failed to answer that one question about product launches correctly and then wish you’d ended the interview experience differently. Better yet, you lost the interviewer as soon as they asked, “So, tell me about yourself”.
It’s also likely that you’ve found yourself wondering what your next career move should be, and you’d like to spend this time investing in yourself.
Being good at what you do and continuing to progress in your career is paramount, but you’re not quite sure how to get started. Maybe you’ve worked with a Product Management team for years or even worked as PM in some ways but never had the title, so you’re looking to wedge into the field but have no clue how.
After considering a pivot into Product, you still have questions like:
Can I even make the leap?
Is this the best time to take the leap?
I know I can do this but how can I convince a hiring manager that I’m worth it?
Why is everyone pivoting in and not me?
How do I become a better interviewer and not get ghosted?
How do I know which strategy makes the most sense for my background?

Roadmap
THIS IS NOT A DIY, SELF-PACED COURSE THAT YOU’LL NEVER ACTUALLY FINISH.
This is NOT a dry course that’s all content without the human-element. This is a hands-on environment that is designed to be engaging and transformational to help deliver a specific outcome: for you to be primed and ready to transition into Product Management in three months. The SPRINT Program has a roadmap that is structured around core, predictable milestones. Here’s how you and I will work together to make this happen:
-
We’ll tackle your resume, cover letter, and overhaul your LinkedIn profile within the first week. Then your application strategy and verbal narrative will be tackled within the first 10-14 days.
-
Next, we focus on your interviewing skills so that you’re prepared to handle the recruiter screens, hiring manager interviews, and panel interviews, too.
-
There’s a really good chance that you’ll receive a take-home assignment to seal the deal. I’ll help you to tackle it, and negotiate your offer as well.
User Experience
Gain access to a thoughtfully curated resource community that houses all the templates, training, and interview prep tools you’ll need to navigate your job search.
THE BEST PART OF THE COMMUNITY IS THE COMMUNITY.
The actual humans who get it. Between the job searchers who stand in solidarity with you, providing peer support and shared experiences and the alumni community, you’ll find a new home that lasts beyond your time in SPRINT.

Social Proof
FAQs
During our alignment call, we’ll chat about your background, goals, and barriers to determine if the SPRINT Program well-aligns with your current needs. There’s also space to ask any lingering questions, but here are a few Qs to get you started.
-
We accept clients on a rolling basis, allowing you the flexibility to join now. You will also have access to a community of career changers you can learn from and mock interview with.

There’s a reason why I am selective about who joins the program. I need to ensure that the selected clients align with the requirements and work ethic in the program because I am driven to deliver results. While I can not promise you a role in 90 days, I am confident that the process is designed to achieve your goal. If you do not receive an offer within 90 days, then I will work with you for an additional 30 days for free. Simple at that; no questions asked. You will also have access to the content for life.
