  Jul 8, 202634 minS1

  In this episode, I'm joined by Rory Woodbridge who has been a Director and VP in Product Marketing multiple times over. We had an honest conversation about what it means to coach direct reports on the job while still delivering against stakeholder expectations and managing perception . Rory reflects on building teams that outlast you and coaching in-role with these three words: imposter, excitement, and pragmatism. Capturing the mix of doubt, energy, and responsibility that often comes with supporting others for the first time. In this conversation we explore how Rory has loved building out teams that last and the benefits of coaching. This episode covers: The reality of coaching others for the first time as a PMM leader, including the pressure of supporting team growth while still delivering and reporting up How Rory approaches coaching direct reports day-to-day without formal training and why asking better questions often matters more than having the answers The value of having an external third-party coach from outside of the business Connect with Rory https://www.linkedin.com/in/rorywoodbridge/ https://theproductmarketer.co/ https://pmmjobs.co/ https://substack.com/@productmarketer Kick-start your own coaching journey Book a complimentary Discovery Call with Hope: https://calendly.com/hopechauland/free-mentor-discovery-call What to expect 1.

  Apr 22, 202639 minS1

  🎙️In this episode of Career Evolutions, I'm joined by Mary Sheehan, product marketing leader at Adobe and founder of the program Propel Yourself, supporting ambitious working mums in tech. This isn't a conversation about "having it all". It's about what happens when: 👀 your career and motherhood collide 👀 your capacity changes, but your ambition doesn't 👀 you're trying to figure out what's next, without losing yourself in the process Mary describes that moment in 3 words: exhausted, FOMO, and overwhelmed. And I can honestly say as a mother myself… I felt every one of them at some point too. Together, we explored: 👉🏼 the identity shift that reshapes your relationship with work 👉🏼 her "MVP" approach to starting with small habits and building sustainably 👉🏼 the reality of returning from mat leave, from logistics to emotional loa 👉🏼 how a coach supported Mary to start before she felt ready As a coach and as someone navigating my own evolving season of motherhood, I also share how being part of one of Mary's early pilot Propel cohorts positively impacted me. One moment that stayed with me: "I remember thinking… is this how every day is going to be?" That honest reflection captures so much of what this episode is about. Not having all the answers, but finding a way forward anyway.
