Panagiotis Goros

1:1 Product Coaching

I help product leaders succeed in their careers.Just as top sports players have dedicated coaches in order to succeed, I firmly believe that top product professionals do benefit from 1:1 coaching.

Here are some common topics for our coaching sessions:🔹 Creating a product strategy that is aligned with the company goals. Measuring how effective it is and keeping management aligned on it.🔹 Creating a healthy product culture, organizing team topology, hiring & firing.🔹 Navigating the corporate structure, managing up and maximizing chances of getting promoted.🔹 Finding a new job, preparing for interviews and acing take-home assignments.

The coaching sessions are based on a mutually agreed agenda, with clearly designed outcomes. Preparation from both sides is mandatory in order to ensure that sessions are effective.

Here are some things my coachees say about me:

I had the privilege of engaging in insightful sessions with Panagiotis Goros, and it was truly exceptional.He possesses an impressive depth of knowledge in product management, covering topics such as early-stage startup strategies, roadmap planning, stakeholder relationship building, and more. Panagiotis simplifies complex concepts and fosters a friendly atmosphere for collaborative learning. His expertise and approachable demeanor make him an invaluable mentor for aspiring product managers.I'm incredibly grateful for the insights gained from our sessions and wholeheartedly recommend Panagiotis to all looking to excel in this field.

For the past 8 months, Panos has played a key coaching role in helping me continue to grow as a product leader. Panos draws from his experience and manages to ask just the right questions for me to reflect upon and help me navigate areas such as steering product strategy discussions with senior management, as well as systems for managing oneself. He has also become an accountability partner, as our sessions are always followed up with concrete steps to turn our conversations into action.As a concrete example, one key learning has been to conduct a self-retro every two months, spending 1h at a cafe without any tech or distractions, something Panos suggested. This is now one of my favorite work habits. It lets me honestly assess what's going well, what needs improvement, and set clear action items for the next months. I then bring those action items into my weekly calendar for execution.In short, Panos has played a key role in helping me improve how to handle crucial areas like product strategy, planning, and working with C-Level. I'm grateful for the chance to work with him.
