What does it really takes to stand out as a senior product leader? What does a L4/L5s sound like vs L6/L7s?
There are 2 major needle-movers to up-level your communication:
- Framing (the ability to contextualize and articulate how one feature ladders up to the bigger picture at a bigger scale).
- Being clear and decisive.
Why These Two Matter So Much
Because the single most important outcome in any interview is for your dream company to say, “YES, HIRED.”
When you get more strategic in framing and show that you can operate at a high level, demonstrating
- Credibility
- Strategic insight
- And the ability to navigate complex problem spaces and orgs
It becomes a no-brainer for them to bring you on.
Once you give your target employers an easy way to see that you GET it, you will see multiple offers rolling in.
Such was the case for one of our clients.
They returned to work together with me, because they knew the job search could be lengthy and emotionally draining.
Each week without an offer from their ideal companies translates into thousands of $$$ lost in compensation.
So we worked to shore up their strategic communication, both for interviews AND for the day-to-day realities of a senior PM role.
The best part is that they leveled up mid-process and received yet another offer shortly after.
No surprise there:
Once you really “get” how to communicate strategically, you create a compelling vision that multiple dream companies want to hire for.
Strategic communication skills don’t just help you ace interviews
👉 they help you thrive on the job long after you land it.
Your next steps are: assess whether and how you are communicating complexity, ambiguity, and your insights.
2025 is going well for my clients. They have already landed offers from Walmart, Tesla, Stripe, Intuit, Microsoft, and Tubi in Staff, Principal, GPM, and Director of Product roles with TC up to $728K. Would you like to make your success story the next one? 🚀
The old way of prepping for L6+ and leadership interviews can stretch your prep longer than needed with endless mocks, where delaying your time-to-offer means losing $10K+ every week. If you want the right actions from the start and a faster time-to-offer, go here to request your invite and I'll be in touch.
