(This is a now page. If you have your own site, you should make one, too.)

Current Availability: 

Thank you for your interest in working with me. Here's what I'm currently available for:

Structured, self-paced support
My product leadership email course, From STRONG to Exceptional, is now complete: all 52 weeks are written. You can start any time, and the emails simply begin arriving. Many participants are enrolled by their companies, so if you'd like to give your whole leadership team access, get in touch.

1:1 coaching
One slot is opening up in December and another in January 2027, so the wait isn't long. I'm happy to start the conversation about these slots right now. If coaching has been on your mind, reach out and we'll explore fit and timing.

Corporate coaching
I'm now planning corporate coaching engagements starting in early 2027, whether you're a small group of product leaders looking for focused support or a larger product org aiming to scale coaching across teams.

Product Leadership Wheel rollouts
I'm currently supporting one organization in rolling out the Product Leadership Wheel and have capacity to take on one or two additional clients. If this has been on your mind, now is a good time to start the conversation.

Talks and book clubs
I'm also available for corporate talks and continue to offer book clubs for leadership groups.

If you want to explore working together, you can find all options here: Work with me.

Things I'm currently doing:

From STRONG to Exceptional (Email Course) - In late August, I sent the last of 52 course emails to my editor, and the course stopped being a work in progress. A full year, one email at a time. The same week, the first participant completed all 52 weeks. We keep running Live Q&A sessions for participants, and they're still one of my favorite parts of the course.

1:1 Coaching & Corporate Engagements - I'm currently coaching a handful of product leaders 1:1: a tech leader reworking their company's product operating model and org design, a senior product leader at a scale-up building strategic altitude, and a first-time Head of Product at a digital health startup. A returning client came back with a bigger scope: a five-month program with their leadership group on directional clarity and performance culture, running into spring 2027. And in September I ran a full-day product management workshop on-site with a German B2B software company.

Speaking & Events - In September I gave my "Manage Up!" talk at WaysConf in Kraków and joined Marty Cagan at his Coach the Coaches lunch. Next up: the Inspire Africa Conference in Lagos (October 14-15), /POWorld in Osnabrück (November 10), and a Product Leadership Meetup in Stockholm (November 24). I'm currently deciding which conferences to say yes to in 2027. If there's an event you think I'd be a good fit for, I'm listening.

Product at Heart 2027 - Arne and I are in the middle of curating Product at Heart 2027. Both dates are set: the Leadership Event on April 12-13 and the Conference on June 24-25, both in Hamburg.

Product Leadership Wheel (PLwheel) - I'm using the PLwheel with 100% of my 1:1 coachees, and they all find it very helpful. I'm also exploring making the PLwheel available to other product leadership coaches so they can use it with their own clients. Early days - stay tuned.

Podcast - I'm co-hosting All Things Product with Teresa Torres, and we've now released over 70 episodes. There's no shortage of things to talk about in the product world.

Books - I continue to promote both STRONG Product People and STRONG Product Communities across multiple languages and formats.

AI Exploration - My Claude Code setup has become pretty sophisticated, and I now use it across multiple machines with my executive assistant. One recent project I'm proud of: when Harvest, my long-time invoicing tool, was acquired with a price hike on the horizon, I built my own replacement - lead pipeline, estimates, invoicing, and client tracking, all tailored to how I work. I also joined the working group behind the Makers Manifesto, a set of principles for making great products in an AI-driven world. Beyond the tooling, I'm having a plethora of conversations with fellow product coaches and leaders about how the role of product management is changing, and I'm starting to see solid patterns - a content piece on that is in the works.

NurtrTech - As co-founder of NurtrTech, I'm focused on angel investing in AgriTech and sustainable food system startups. We're currently in due diligence with some promising startups - exciting times ahead.

Personal - My main priority is spending quality time with my daughter, including as much time close to the ocean as possible. She started exploring wing foiling with me last autumn, and that's become a mother-daughter adventure we'll keep going. For myself, I want to spend more time in and on the ocean too - whether that's kite surfing (I was in Egypt in February) or enjoying the spring, summer, and autumn season here at home on the Baltic Sea. Staying healthy is a core priority as well - I'm continuing my gym and weightlifting journey.

MY NOT-TO-DO LIST:

  • Coaching for IC-level PMs.

  • Coaching for aspiring Product Coaches. If that's you, here's a blog post where I share some insights.

  • I'm not offering training in any form.

  • Non-client meetings: If you don't belong one of the groups mentioned above and want to pick my brain, that's perfectly fine. But you are one of many people asking for this one particular thing. So I can't usually answer these requests unless you book a coaching call. Which is possible :-) Just get in touch, and let's see if we can find a slot in my calendar.

THE IDEA

What's this /now-page thing? It's a movement started by Derek Sivers, and I just liked the idea. He put it best: "It's a nice reminder for myself, when I'm feeling unfocused. A public declaration of priorities. (If I'm doing something that's not on my list, is it something I want to add, or something I want to stop?) It helps me say no, too."
