Path to PM

"Jean isn’t a program manager coach solely because she’s done the role. She’s a coach because she’s done both the role AND gone the extra mile to document what she’s researched and learned masterfully. 

“Jean’s the real deal, and I couldn’t recommend her more to someone questioning how to take the next step in their career."

✨ PM Career Coach, x7 pivoter, helping other pivoters land amazing Program Manager roles and 🔥 thrive on the job | Founder of 🚀 Path to PM | Senior Program Manager @ Figma • Ex-Linkedin, Meta, Pinterest, Intuit

Over the last decade, I led impactful programs at companies like LinkedIn, Pinterest, & Figma.

But here’s the part that surprises people:

- I didn’t have a PMP certification.
- I’m a proud career pivoter. 
- I didn’t check every box.

What I did have was strategy, storytelling, and a clear sense of how to articulate my value.

That’s how I landed multiple 6-figure Program Manager roles at top tech companies not by following the “traditional” path, but by leaning into my superpowers. 

Eventually, I had a spark to do something different..

What if I used the same skills that helped me thrive in Big Tech… to build something of my own?

So I left to bet on myself (again). 

And what served me well in my career also helped me as a solopreneur.

I owned my story, built with intention and shared learnings in public.

I started creating content in 2023 and in 2 years, built a community of 350K+ across LinkedIn, Instagram, and my newsletter.

Today, I’m the founder of the PM Accelerator, a career transformation program where I help senior professionals land high-paying PM roles without another certification or starting over. 

My mission is to democratize access to tech careers + empower folks to design a career, business & life they love especially in this era of AI.

The Results:

→ Partnered with Google, Hubspot, NVIDIA, Adobe, Kajabi, Notion, & more
→ LinkedIn Learning Instructor with 200K+ learners
→ 100M+ impressions over the last year
→ 230K+ follow my journey on LinkedIn
→ Built a $200K+ business in 1 year 
→ 32K+ read my newsletter 
→ (soon TEDx speaker 😱)

If you want to learn the exact framework I used to land dream PM roles + help others do the same… 

📌 APPLY TO THE PM ACCELERATOR (link in bio)

In this 5-week career acceleration program, I teach you how to get interviews, land dream offers and literally thrive on the job.  

I helped 100+ students land PM roles at Microsoft, SoFi, Scale.AI, Adidas, Workday and more (many in under 4–7 weeks)

Imposter syndrome is a silent killer.

5 tips to beat it (and change your life 🔥)

—
☝🏼 Step 1: Recognize Your Fixed Mindset

Negative self-talk sounds like:

↳ “I’m not good enough.”
↳ “I always mess up.”
↳ “I’m too quiet.”

These aren’t facts—they are negative thoughts. Recognizing them is the first step.

—
✌🏼 Step 2: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Growth lives outside your comfort zone.

↳ Want to improve public speaking? Say yes to that presentation.
↳ Want to become a program manager? Raise your hand to lead that project.
↳ Want to create content? Start posting 3x a week.

The more you stretch, the more you grow.

—
🤟🏼 Step 3: Seek Meaningful Feedback

Feedback starts with you.

↳ Do a weekly retro: What worked? What didn’t? What’s next?
↳ Ask colleagues or friends: What should I do more of? Less of?

Feedback is a gift for growth.

—
🖖🏼 Step 4: Detach Your Self-Worth From Work

You are more than your job.

Grow in areas that align with your values:

↳ Nurture relationships.
↳ Pursue passion projects.
↳ Volunteer or give back.
↳ Prioritize hobbies that bring joy.

—
🖐🏼 Step 5: Add “…Yet” to Reframe

Turn self-doubt into self-belief with one word: “Yet.”

↳ “I’m not a great leader…yet.”
↳ “I’m not in my dream job…yet.”
↳ “I’m not a skilled writer…yet.”

If you can’t beat fear, just do it scared. If not you, then who?

What’s ONE step you can take today? 👇🏼

Stop telling yourself you’re not qualified, good enough, or worthy.

Growth happens when you start 
doing the things you’re not qualified 
to do.

Be the person people *want* to work with.

How you collaborate will define your career more than anything else.

Because let’s be real. 

No one wants to work with the person who’s genius but impossible to deal with.

Here are 6 traits that make you an invaluable teammate:

1. Be dependable ☝🏼

↳ Follow through on what you say you'll do.
↳ Show up on time. Physically and mentally.
↳ Be the person others know they can count on.

2. Communicate like a boss ✌🏼

↳ Get to the point (lead with a headline).
↳ Keep people updated before they have to ask.
↳ Listen with the intent to understand, not just to reply.

3. Make other people’s jobs easier 🤟🏼

↳ Offer solutions vs complaints
↳ Offer help before you're asked.
↳ Share resources, knowledge, and wins.

4. Take ownership of everything (Good or bad) 🖖🏼

↳ Give credit where it’s due.
↳ Don't wait for someone else to step up. Be that person.
↳ Say this: “I dropped the ball. Here’s what happened and what I’ll do next time …”

5. Show appreciation 🖐🏼

↳ Say thank you. A lot.
↳ Celebrate small wins. Not just big results.
↳ Recognize someone’s effort, not just outcomes.

People remember how you made them feel. Make them feel valued.

At the end of the day, the best career move isn’t just getting better at your job.

It’s getting better at working with people.

What’s one trait that makes someone amazing to work with? Drop it below 👇

P.S. I just hit 250K on LinkedIn 😭

Here’s how I built an audience of almost 400K followers in < 2 years. 

It’s a letter I wrote to my younger me (and harsh lessons I learned about building a personal brand)

Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eDWXTb3i

Be the person that everyone wants to work with. 

I love this story so much.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, owns a $4 trillion dollar company

And yet his LinkedIn profile lists just TWO jobs:

☝🏼 Dishwasher, busboy, and waiter at Denny’s
✌🏼 Founder & CEO of Nvidia

His profile went viral, and people started calling it “the most inspiring LinkedIn profile ever.”

Here’s why his story resonates:

1/ Your first job doesn’t define your success

We’ve all had jobs that felt small or irrelevant. That’s normal.

What matters is what you take from them.

2/ Every experience matters

Jensen doesn’t list every role he’s had.

But even working at Denny’s gave him lessons in grit, humility, and service.

These are traits that shaped how he leads today.

3/ Careers aren’t linear

He went on to earn a Master’s from Stanford, worked as a chip designer at AMD and LSI Logic, while raising 2 children.

In 1993, he co-founded Nvidia while sitting in a booth at Denny’s with “no idea how” to start a company.

30 years later, Jensen is one of the most influential leaders in tech.

Let this be your reminder:

Your resume does not define you.

Your background does not define you.

And no one else gets to define your story except for YOU 💙

The CEO of Nvidia has a legendary LinkedIn profile

Me in my 20s:

- I want to buy a home
- I want to make 6 figures
- I want to work at big companies

Me in my 30s:

- I prioritize peace and presence
- I build products that actually help people
- I crave deep, tech-free time with the people I love

So, what changed?

After hitting my “big goals” by 27, I still felt... empty.

All the titles, salaries, and wins and yet, something was missing.

That’s when I knew I needed to shift my definition of success.

Now at 33, success looks a little different: 

🟢 Freedom > big salary
🟢 Meaningful experiences > status
🟢 Being aligned > being impressive

I’m blessed to partner with companies like Kajabi for making it possible to monetize my expertise so I can build my dream life. 

Kajabi’s new platform updates have made it ridiculously easy to:

↳ Personalize the student experience (hello, new coaching portal!)
↳ Track exactly what content’s performing best
↳ Scale without sacrificing connection

There’s only a a few months left before the year ends.

So, what’s 1 thing you’re doing to make it count? 

Remember, it’s never too late to start something 😉

#KajabiPartner

A career is great.

A meaningful life is better.

Surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms you aren’t in.

I will never forget those who:

✔️ Advocated for me 
✔️ Believed in my worth 
✔️ Fought for opportunities 
✔️ Gave me credit for my work 
✔️ Praised my work to my manager 
✔️ Articulated my impact to leadership

Because of you, I’m dedicated to paying it forward.

And this is how you create a difference in someone’s life.
 __

6 ways to fight for someone (and leave a lasting impact)

☝🏼 Advocate for better terms

↳ Whether it’s pay, benefits, or recognition, use your voice to push for fairness.

✌🏼 Celebrate their successes

↳ Big or small, recognition will always be remembered.

🤟🏼 Offer nonjudgmental support

↳ Be the person they can lean on without fear of criticism.

🖖🏼 Speak on their behalf

↳ Share their achievements and advocate as though they’re in the room.

🙏🏼 Share resources or connections

↳ Share a simple introduction or resource that can make a difference in their work/life.

🤝🏼 Be their accountability partner

↳ Help them stay on track toward their goals by checking in weekly and celebrate milestones together.

Tag the people in your life who do this and show them your love 💙

P.S. I wrote down my dream of becoming a TEDx speaker (and then manifested it in just 3 months)

This Monday, I’m sharing the exact plan that made it happen. My friends called it genius.

Get it here → https://lnkd.in/gc2mu4yK

You will never forget those who took a chance on you when others rejected you.

Failing is actually a good thing.

But most people let it consume them…

Thank you Costas K. G. for this image 👌🏼 

(instead of building resilience to bounce back) 

I’ve failed A LOT in my life.

↳ got fired twice 
↳ bombed presentations 
↳ stayed too long in toxic relationships

But here’s what it taught me

↳ grit to keep going
↳ take failures as lessons 
↳ made space for something better

And because of these “failures”, I’m right where I need to be:

I met the love of my life.

I’m living my dream and & doing what I love. 

Allowed me to quit tech and create a life on my terms.

Try these 5 things to get back up (even when you don’t want to):

☝🏼 Feel the pain
   
  → Give yourself permission to feel it fully. 
  → Your emotions are valid (and it’s okay not to be okay)
   
✌🏼 Zoom out
   
  → You are not your worst moment.   
  → Recognize that this too shall pass 
   
🤟🏼 Find the lesson.
   
  → What is this trying to teach you?
  → What would you do differently next time?
   
🖖🏼 Rewrite the narrative.
   
  → Stop calling it failure. The only way to grow is through falling.
  → You are a beautiful work-in-progress.
   
✋🏼 Start slowly
   
  → Commit to taking 1 tiny step (any step) 
  → Raise your hand at work. Post 3x a week. Have one hard conversation.
   
I look back and realize:

My collection of failures added up to a far more meaningful life.

What’s one thing you’ve learned from failure that made you stronger? 👇🏼

Stop waiting for your work to speak for itself.

In 2025, that's not enough.

You can be amazing at what you do.

You can have the degrees, experience, and referrals.

But if no one knows you exist… none of it matters.

We’re not in a job market anymore.

We’re deep in an attention market.

Here’s the reality:

↳ People are Googling you before they meet you
↳ They’re judging your value before you even show up
↳ Recruiters aren’t just checking your resume (they’re scrolling your LinkedIn)

So if you’re doing what you’ve always done and expecting different results...

It’s time to switch it up.

Here’s how to go from invisible → visible:

1️⃣ Share what you're learning.

Example: “Just wrapped up a speaking cohort and learned more in 8 weeks than I thought possible. Here are 3 things that surprised me…”

2️⃣ Post about your job search journey.

Example: “Applied to 12 roles this week. Got 2 interviews. Got 5 referrals. Here’s what helped me land the referrals:”

3️⃣ Comment with insight on posts in your field.

Example: On a post about remote leadership —
“Totally agree. I’ve seen async tools make or break team culture — especially for introverts.”

4️⃣ Let people know what you’re great at and what you’re looking for.

Example: “If you need someone who can translate big ideas into action steps, I’m your person.

Looking for my next role in project management and GTM strategy for a mission-driven AI startup.”

Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.
And that’s power.

You weren’t meant to feel stuck, underpaid, or overlooked.

You were meant to lead, to be respected, and thrive not just survive.

If you're ready to own your voice and land a role where you're paid well, valued deeply, and excited to show up…

I’d love to help. I work with senior professionals to level up their leadership and land strategic program management roles they love.

I would bookmark this 🔖

Google launched a free AI learning tool

(and it’s so cool) 😱

It’s part of their new AI experiment called Learn Your Way,

and it’s one of the most intuitive tools I’ve seen for modern learners.

A few standouts:

☝🏼 It adapts to your grade level and your interests
✌🏼 It converts material into formats you’ll actually use (audio, mind maps, slides, etc.)
🤟🏼 It checks in with quizzes and memory boosters so the info actually sticks

Say you’re learning physics.. it’ll literally teach you with rocket examples if you’re into space.

No more boring, generic explanations (bye to old textbooks)

This is still early (and in testing) but this is what I call learning BEYOND the classroom.

You’re not just learning new things.

You’re learning in a way that works BEST for YOU.

And I’m so HERE 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼 IT👏🏼

I help coaches amplify their brand, build trust, speak and sell with confidence — scaling to $250K-$1M+ with a proven 5x-20x ROI, in a way that feels aligned, sustainable & spacious.

Last year, I built a new business while:
☀️Working part-time hours
☀️Taking 10+ weeks off
☀️Achieving $100K days, $100K weeks & $100K+ months
☀️Doubling revenue with my best year yet

It’s not luck. It’s a proven method.
Built around a simple mantra: "The more time off I take, the more money I make."

Here’s the truth:
Scaling with ease starts by building trust — in yourself, your audience & your systems.
Sales conversations don’t have to feel pushy.

I've helped my clients:
🔥Build 6-figure businesses in 6 months ($20K-$50K+ months)
🔥Double their revenue in 3 months
🔥Exceed their annual revenue in 4 months
🔥Launch 6-figure group programs that sell out
🔥Scale to 7-figure businesses within a year
🔥Become LinkedIn Learning Instructors 
🔥Enroll 10+ clients per month
🔥Close $5K to $15K B2C and $10K to $100K B2B deals

Fulfilling work is so much more than a job that you like, but is a well-defined career path that is closely aligned with your values, passions, and strengths.

My career experience and personal mission led to me to start My Marketability in 2011, to empower individuals to reclaim control of their careers and confidently move towards their future.

Since launching my career coaching practice, I’ve worked with 1000+ clients from around the world, representing 20+ industries, and countless professions in Accounting, Business Development, Communications, Digital, Data Analytics, Engineering, Finance, HR, IT, Legal, Marketing, Operations, Product, Recruiting, Sales, Supply Chain, Training and many more.

After working with me, my clients have gone on to get hired, and make more money, at renowned companies including Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Deloitte, PwC, TD, RBC, Nestlé, and Pepsi to name a few.

All my clients have one thing in common, and it has helped them to be successful: A strong commitment to taking ACTION! They weren’t applying for hundreds of jobs online, and just waiting for the phone to ring. They did the work to land the job that they’re passionate about, that gives them purpose, and allows them to live to their full potential.

If you’re ready to invest in your career, I’d love to chat. DM me.

Gratitude creates space for bigger possibilities.

This Canadian Thanksgiving, I’m especially grateful for the space between where I was… and where I’m going.

I took some time off this weekend to go out of town, slow down, and be present with family and friends.

And it reminded me how powerful it is to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far we’ve come.

Lately, I’ve been thinking not just about what I’ve achieved, but who I’ve become in the process.

My heart is full of gratitude for the people who make this journey so meaningful:

💛 The clients who remind me daily why I do this work.

💛 The courageous conversations that spark breakthroughs.

💛 The collaborations that turn into friendships.

💛 The “impossible” goals that become reality.

I’m also deeply thankful for rest — the time off that fuels creativity and clarity.

(The more time off I take, the more I make has become one of my mantras.)

And more than anything, I’m grateful for possibility — for the chance to keep building, evolving, and creating spaces where ambitious coaches can rise together.

If you’re reading this, know that I’m grateful for you — for being part of this mission and movement. 🙏

I’d love to hear from you:
What’s one thing you’re grateful for this season?

Woohoo! The Quiet Achiever is out in the world! 

Huge congratulations to my amazing client and friend Linda Raynier CPA, CA on the global launch of her debut book, published by Wiley!

Over 1,000 copies have already been sold worldwide in 30+ countries!

And it’s now an Amazon Bestseller (#7 in Hot New Releases in the U.S. and #2 in Hot New Releases in Singapore)! 🌍🔥

I couldn’t be prouder because this book is more than a read. 
It’s a movement.

The Quiet Achiever isn’t just for introverts.

It’s for anyone who’s ever felt:
 — stuck or unseen
 — disconnected from who they truly are
 — or ready to stop performing and start living in alignment.

It’s also for those who grew up taught to stay humble, not rock the boat, or put others first — but are now ready to redefine success and happiness on their own terms.

Because true confidence and fulfillment don’t come from doing more, they come from moving from your head to your heart and tuning inward to trust yourself again. 

This book helps you quiet the noise, release old patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters — so you can live, lead, and express yourself with grounded authenticity and peace.

Having witnessed Linda’s transformation firsthand — from global career strategist and YouTube educator to transformational speaker, author, and soul activator — I know the depth and wisdom she brings to these pages.

I’m so happy I got to attend her intimate virtual launch party today and celebrate this milestone with her.
What a beautiful moment to witness. 💛

My copies are still on their way, but I couldn’t wait to share the excitement and celebrate this incredible achievement.

Here's how you can support:
 1️⃣ Order your copy on Amazon.
 2️⃣ Leave a 5-star review — it truly helps!
 3️⃣ Post a photo with your book and tag Linda Raynier
 4️⃣ Gift a copy to someone who needs this message.

📍 If you’re in the Greater Toronto Area — come celebrate in person!
Linda will be doing a book signing this Sunday, Oct 19, from 1–5 PM EST at Indigo Sherway Gardens, Etobicoke.
I’ll be there cheering her on — come say hi! 

Because this isn’t just a book launch…
It’s a mirror.
A reflection of who you’ve always been — and who you’re becoming.
