Package Description:

Live product case interviews are becoming increasingly common in PM onsites as they effectively evaluate a candidate’s skills through live performance. It can feel daunting to solve a live product case on the fly, but with practice, you’ll certainly improve! With this package, you’ll receive mock interview feedback on 3 types of product cases—product design, product strategy, and metrics. This package will not only help you improve your ability to excel in these interviews, but you’ll also gain valuable insights, including: • What PM hiring managers are looking for in these questions. • The rubrics companies use to evaluate your answers at your level. • How to showcase leadership and team collaboration skills during a live case. • Which areas you may lack strong examples in and how to continue developing these areas in your current or next role. Through structured practice and actionable feedback, you’ll build the confidence and skills needed to stand out in live product case interviews.


What you'll get from this package

Improved Interview Skills: Gain confidence and expertise in tackling product design, product strategy, and metrics cases through structured mock interviews and actionable feedback.

Hiring Manager Insights: Understand exactly what hiring managers are looking for and how rubrics are applied to evaluate your answers

Personalized Development Plan: Receive guidance on how to continue developing weaker areas in your current or future roles, ensuring consistent growth in your PM career.


Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

We will practice 3+1 product cases covering product design, product strategy, and metrics. The +1 case will be selected during the final session, tailored to the area you most want to strengthen. Each session will include a 40-minute mock interview followed by 20 minutes of detailed feedback and coaching to help you improve. As a hiring manager who has designed IC PM hiring processes and rubrics for both a public company and startups, I’ll provide insights into the hiring manager’s perspective behind the scenes. Together, we’ll identify areas for growth and development to help you advance your PM career with confidence.

Refund Policy

I cannot provide coaching or answers for take-home case assignments to maintain integrity. All cases used in sessions are adapted and original, ensuring they do not replicate exact questions from real hiring processes. With the right skills and practice, you’ll be fully prepared to succeed!

Hiring Manager & ICF Coach Helping PMs Advance Their Career

Hi, I’m a product leader, hiring manager, and ICF-trained coach passionate about helping experienced PMs and product owners unlock their full potential and maximize impact. While I enjoy meeting clients from all backgrounds, folks who typically reach out to me are: • Product owners who wear multiple hats in a start-up environment and/or are challenged by complex PMF (and people) problems • Experienced PMs* who have led impactful product initiatives but struggled to showcase their best selves in job search • Mid-career PMs who are looking for opportunities to level up to staff/principal PMs, or cross the chasm to people manager roles Why I’m Qualified to Coach: 🔮 Hiring Manager and Promo Committee Experience: I’ve interviewed 500+ candidates and designed PM hiring processes for both public companies and startups, offering you insider knowledge of what hiring managers look for. I've also sat on the promo committee, know how the promo conversation goes behind the scenes, and helped multiple PMs get the career advancement that they deserve. 📈 Proven Product Leadership: I’ve launched multiple 0-to-1 products at Coursera. Before Coursera, I led Product & Design at VC-backed AI SaaS startups with a successful exit. In my peer's words, "She rose through the ranks from Senior PM to GPM, leading some of the company’s biggest and most strategic projects. On top of that, she mentored multiple PMs who went on to become fast risers themselves". 💙 Diverse Career Background: I was Head of Product at startups, management consultant, angel investor, and non-profit executive. This gives me a holistic perspective on how to navigate career decisions based on one's values vs FOMO. 🙌 Actionable Coaching Approach: As an ICF-trained coach with 100+ coaching hours, I focus on deeply listening, asking thoughtful questions, and providing structured, action-oriented guidance. My coaching combines empathy, structure, and practical tools to deliver results-driven support. Whether you’re preparing for your next leadership role or solving complex product challenges in a corporate or startup setting, I’m here to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and align your career with your values. *NOTE: Due to capacity constraints, I’m unable to support aspiring PMs without professional experience at this time. However, I’d be happy to refer you to other amazing coaches on Leland!
