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 😱)

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.

Remote work changed my life.

More rest. Less stress.

And it works for most people:

Individuals, parents, caretakers, pet owners 🐶, or anyone in between.

WFH doesn’t just stand for:

Work. From. Home.

It also means:

- Work 💻
- Family 🙏🏼
- Health 🧘🏻‍♀️

It’s about flexibility and choice.

And with tools like Tango I’ve never been more productive.

Love how easy they made it to learn new processes and train employees efficiently (without being in the office).

Don’t believe me?

I made this quick tutorial on how to find 6-figure REMOTE jobs on LinkedIn

(it took 2 minutes)

The goal is to teach it once and never explain again 😱

👀 Find 6-Figure Remote Jobs on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/e7SxhFdX

What’s your favorite part about remote work?

Repost if you love remote work 🙌🏼

I can’t stop thinking about this…

Never underestimate the quiet ones.

The ones who are quietly studying after work / on weekends.

Sending DMs to people they admire.

Choosing podcasts / books > Netflix.

Focused on being just 1% better every single day.

Self-education is what separates the goods from the GREATS.

Because when you choose to learn in your free time...

You’re building something no one can take away

That’s exactly how my “little” side hustle of posting on LinkedIn turned into a 6-fig business.

Allowing me to quit my dream tech job and replace my income in < 1 year.

Here’s how I approach learning something new:

1/ Get ridiculously clear on your learning goal

↳ What exactly am I trying to learn, and why does it matter right now?
↳ Write it down down: “I’m learning [X] so I can [Y] by [Z date].”

2/ Do a brutally honest skill audit

↳ Where am I truly starting from? Beginner? Intermediate?
↳ I rate myself on a 1–5 scale, then identify 1–2 focus areas for the week.

3/ Source high-quality content (not just what's trending)

↳ I follow 2–3 trusted experts who are 5 steps ahead (not 10).
↳ I choose one main format to learn from (podcast, YouTube, course, etc.).

4/ Build a non-negotiable learning routine

↳ I block 10–30 minutes daily on my calendar like it’s a real meeting.
↳ Write down key learnings every time + 1 action you can commit to.

5/ Create social accountability

↳ I tell a friend (or post publicly) what I’m working on.
↳ I set a tiny consequence if I fall off (like buying them lunch or sending $20).

If you’re not learning, you’re not growing.

What’s 1 thing you’re learning in 2025?

Drop it in the comments - I’d love to cheer you on!

PS. If you've been quietly putting in the work and you're ready for the next big leap…

♻️ Repost to help more people stop waiting and start learning.

Never underestimate a person who practices self education in their free time.

What I learned about life.

It’s not meant to be easy.

It’s hard, uncomfortable, even painful at times.

Here’s what I mean:

↳ I was bullied growing up.
↳ I was fired from a job I loved.
↳ I lost my mom to cancer when I was 25.

I could’ve stayed angry but I chose to start over.

And by giving myself another ‘do over’:

✔️ I have amazing friends & mentors
✔️ I landed dream jobs at dream companies
✔️ I built a 6-figure business doing what I love
✔️ I found the love of my life (I made the first move)

It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

And know what else?

Your environment matters more than you know.

People thrive when things are clear.

Teams thrive when systems replace chaos.

Companies thrive when employees have tools to do their best work.

And I’m so grateful to partner with Jotform, an incredibly powerful and intuitive form builder to help teams operate faster and smarter (all driven by data).

With their updated Enterprise version (2.0), they're giving companies a clearer & more thoughtful way to organize/understand their data, and build systems that run quietly in the background.

I love their new admin console that centralizes literally everything (think assets and analytics), access to a curated help center + actionable guides, and ability to create visual dashboards to see what actually works (and doesn’t).

While it’s never too late to start over,
it can be too late to stay stuck.

A toxic partner costs your peace.
A bad process can cost thousands.
A role with no growth drains your potential.

If you’re looking for a solution that is truly tailored for your custom needs: better data, cleaner workflows, and a centralized source-of-truth,

I highly recommend you try out Jotform: https://lnkd.in/eQepb6wn

What’s 1 hard thing you can do today that your future self with thank you for?

Don’t be afraid to start over again. 
You may like your new story better.


Introverts love remote work.

I noticed I’m way more productive WFH.

No more dealing with:

- Office distractions
- Endless meetings
- Commuting

I’ve traded it for:

- Flexibility
- A quiet mind
- A healthier body

The truth is: people operate at their best in an environment that works for them.

It can be hybrid, in-office, or entirely remote.

For many introverts like me, it’s a dream lifestyle 🥹.

And with tools like Jotform, an incredibly powerful and intuitive form builder, I’ve never been more productive. 

I love how ridiculously simple they make online data and payment collection that enable me to build strong systems that operate in the background.

It’s no surprise that it’s literally trusted by 34M users worldwide including nonprofits, SMBs and enterprises that may need bespoke tools for gathering better data. 

Remote work isn’t just a new way of working.

It’s a new way of living. 

Did you know Jotform has AI-powered template creation that lets users generate server-wide forms from a single prompt and makes them available to everyone at work?

Leadership is not a title.

And not all bosses are leaders.

I’ve worked at some of the best companies in the world.

But you know what?

Great companies don’t = quality bosses.

If I were to go back to corporate, I would choose my boss over any paycheck.

Because no paycheck is worth your mental health 💙

__

7 Qualities of a Great Leader:

✅ Lead by example

✅ Values & respects you

✅ Have your best interests

✅ Be kind and constructive

✅ Care about you as a person

✅ Help you grow in your career

✅ Advocate for you in rooms you’re not in

A good boss is better than a good company.

Repost if you agree 🙏🏼 and follow Jean Kang for more.

a toxic boss will cost you more than any paycheck

What I used to care about (before accepting a job)

↳ Perks (Free food, swag, etc)
↳ Company name
↳ Location
↳ Title

What I care about now (after I got all the above)

★ Flexible time off (without the guilt)

★ A manager who has my back

★ Growth opportunities

★ Psychological safety

★ Exciting challenges

★ Supportive team

★ Remote-friendly

The superficial things are temporary bliss.

Prioritize your non-negotiables.

And assess your list regularly.

If you’re looking for a job, I hope you find the right role, culture and boss for you 💙.

What’s your non-negotiable? 👇🏼

Things employees don't care about
- title
- perks
- benefits
- company name
- nice office

What employees actually care about
- Flexible time off (without the guilt)
- A manager who has my back
- Growth opportunities
- Psychological safety
- Exciting challenges
- Supportive team
- Remote-friendly

Rule for life: Don’t get stuck in the wrong place

9 questions to ask to get UNSTUCK (and break free 🦋):

3. Do I align with the values of the company?

7. Am I feeling burnt out or stressed?

8. Am I aligned with the company's direction and goals?

→ Do I see a clear path for my career growth within the organization?

9. Am I considering alternative career paths or opportunities?

→ Do I feel hopeful about exploring new possibilities?

At your core, you want a business that reflects your voice, worth, vision & lifestyle — without sacrificing freedom.

Hi! I’m Diana YK Chan, Business Growth Strategist, Personal Branding & Trust-Building Expert.

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:

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

How I Help You Scale:

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.

Rich relationships aren’t built by accident. 

They’re built by intention, generosity, and choosing the right rooms.

Two days ago at Selena Soo’s Rich Relationships Lunch in Toronto, I was reminded exactly why relationships are the foundation of everything I do.

This year alone, I hosted 24 events — retreats, masterminds, spa days, networking lunches.

And the results were undeniable:
✨ Better clients
✨ Faster growth
✨ Bigger opportunities
✨ Deep, meaningful collaborations

Why?
Because when you consistently put yourself in the right rooms with the right people, everything accelerates.

5 Ways to Nurture Rich Relationships (the same principles behind my 24-event year):

1️⃣ Ask thoughtful questions, then listen deeply

2️⃣ Follow up with a voice note, intro, or resource

3️⃣ Celebrate others’ wins like they’re your own

4️⃣ Stay connected — consistency compounds

5️⃣ Lead with breathtaking generosity

This is how I built my business to multi–6 figures working part-time hours.

This is how my clients scale to $20K–$100K+ months.

And this is why rooms like Selena’s matter so much.

The energy at this luncheon was electric with brilliant entrepreneurs, heart-centered leaders, and conversations that open doors.

Huge shoutout to Selena for curating an intentional, heart-centered room.

And for letting me play my part: helping secure the venue, recommending powerhouse leaders to attend, and proudly becoming her Toronto book storage facility. 😄

Toronto showed up strong. 💛

Here’s to more rich relationships, more aligned rooms, and more people rising together.

From Discouraged to $20K+ in 6 Weeks With a 5X ROI & Renewed Confidence

How My Client Went From $2K → $10K Months & a Confident CEO Identity

Most coaches think they need more tactics to grow.

But this client's story shows what really moves the needle: identity, alignment, and elevated positioning.

When she came to me, she was:
- Hovering around $2K/month
- Attracting misaligned, draining clients
- Undercharging and overdelivering
- Unsure who her real ideal client was
- Losing confidence in her value

Her skills weren’t the problem.
Her identity, boundaries, and clarity were.

Once we rebuilt her business around who she really is and what she uniquely brings, everything changed:
- Consistent $6K–$10K months
- 60% price increase with aligned buyers
- Clear ICP and stronger non-negotiables
- A differentiated niche 
- Confident, powerful presence in content + sales
- Renewed energy, alignment, and fulfillment

In her words: “I’ve never felt this confident or aligned in my business. I finally feel like a CEO.”

WHAT CREATED THE SHIFT (the real work)

We didn’t add more strategies. We upgraded her identity and foundation:
✔ Precise ICA clarity
✔ Elevated messaging and brand positioning
✔ Offer redesign + premium pricing
✔ Boundaries + high-quality client criteria
✔ Uncovering her unique story & value
✔ CEO identity coaching that transformed her confidence

When you shift who you are being…
your business, your clients, and your income rise to meet you.

How My Client Went From $2K → $10K Months & a Confident CEO Identity

Your next opportunity is already sitting in your contacts list if you nurture it.

Over the last 3 months, I’ve met 200+ incredible people through events, masterminds, retreats, and networking lunches.

And it reminded me of something I deeply believe:

👉 The fortune is in the follow-up.

Your network only grows in value when you nurture it.

This week, my husband helped me build a Rich Relationships Airtable so I can intentionally track, organize, and deepen the connections I’ve made, not just meet people… but follow through.

Every Friday morning this past year, I block off time to send voice notes, check in, share resources, make intros, or simply say: “Thinking of you.”

Because opportunities don’t show up randomly.

They show up when you stay connected, stay generous, and stay intentional.

If you want to learn how to build a network that actually grows your business not just your contacts list…

I’m co-hosting a special session with Selena Soo on “Mastering Rich Relationships: How to Build a Million-Dollar Network that Attracts Clients, Collaborations & Opportunities”

How My Client Pivoted Into Speaking, Secured 5-Figure Deals & Achieved 5X ROI

If you’ve ever felt you’re meant for more in your business but unclear, undercharging, or stretched thin, this story will inspire you.

This client wanted to pivot from career coaching into speaking, partnerships, and bigger opportunities. She had the expertise — she just needed clarity, structure, and a strategy.

Her transformation was powerful:

✨ Restructured her pricing, clarified her packages, and secured multiple 5-figure B2B partnerships.

✨ Repositioned her as a sought-after speaker, built her speaker sheet, revamped her website + LinkedIn, launched a nano-course series, and she became a LinkedIn Learning Instructor.

✨ Expanded her capacity by hiring a VA — a game-changer for productivity and CEO-level focus.

✨ And she achieved a 5X ROI, plus deeper clarity and confidence.

Her words: “Partnering with Diana transformed my business… I secured five-figure engagements and 5X’d my investment.”

How My Client Scaled to 7 Figures With Group Program & 6-Figure Launches

When she joined my mastermind, she had just completed her first full year in business, earning just over $200K through 1:1 coaching, but feeling capped, stretched, and unsure how to scale without burning out.

After my Wealthy & Worthy Mastermind Retreat in Cancun, she:
• Transitioned from 1:1 → a scalable group model
• Sold out her first 6-figure launch (with two cohorts)
• Built a repeatable system for multiple 6-figure launches
• Stepped into a confident CEO identity
• Hired a 3-person full-time team

The true breakthrough:
Her biggest shift wasn’t strategy, it was possibility.

At the retreat, she saw a version of herself she hadn’t accessed before.

With the belief I held for her and the power of being in the right room, she realized she could build a much larger, sustainable 7-figure business.

She crossed $1M in just two years!

And a new identity to match.

After being invited twice by Coaching.com to speak to thousands of coaches… I noticed a pattern that nobody talks about.

Both sessions ended up becoming top-rated trainings:
- Mastering LinkedIn to grow your business (#1 out of 200 presentations)
- Mastering Lead Generation 

But here’s the surprising part:

These coaches weren’t struggling because they lacked skill.
They were struggling because they lacked visibility, systems, and ownership.

Here are the most common struggles I saw (and how to fix them):

1. They’ve mastered their craft but not their messaging

Many coaches can transform lives in a session.
But freeze when they need to talk about what they do online.

↳ Expertise doesn’t matter if your audience doesn’t understand it.

Fix:
Speak to who you used to be 2–5 years ago.
That person is searching for you.

2. They relied on platforms or programs to send clients

So when it’s time to generate leads themselves?
They don’t know where to start.

↳ If someone else controls your pipeline, they control your income.

Fix:
Build your own top-of-funnel on LinkedIn.
You should always have demand you created, not demand you’re waiting for.

3. They depend on referrals

Referrals are not a strategy.
They’re a bonus.

But most coaches make them the engine of their business.

↳ That leads to inconsistent income and zero predictability.

Fix:
Create a weekly nurturing routine, spend 20 minutes per day to re-engage warm leads and past conversations.

4. They’re certified and credible but unknown

They assume “being good” will eventually get them discovered.

It won’t.

↳ Visibility beats credibility when it comes to growth.

Fix:
Post consistently.
Share stories.
Make your transformation easy to understand.

5. They have leads but no nurturing system

This one shocked me the most.

Coaches had leads.
They just didn’t know how to follow up without feeling pushy.

↳ Leads go cold not because they’re uninterested but because you went silent.

Fix:
Send value-driven check-ins.
Guide the conversation.
Ask better questions.
People buy when they feel supported, not chased.

What I shared with Coaching.com coaches is what I’ll share with you:

You don’t get clients by being the best-kept secret.
You get clients by being clear, visible, and consistent.

Once you learn how to market yourself with confidence,
you stop waiting for opportunity you start creating it.

How My Client Built a Multi–6 Figure Business While Working Less

When she joined my Mastermind Retreat in Cancun, her business had just crossed six figures.

But she was exhausted, overextended, and unsure how to scale without burning out.

When I visited her in Austin recently, she shared that she’s now had her best enrollment month after taking intentional time off… and crossed 7-figures in lifetime revenue in just four years.

What shifted inside the mastermind:
• Simplified to one high-value offer
• Sharpened messaging + positioning to attract premium clients
• Retired programs that drained her
• Made the mindset shift from “doing more” → “leading more”
• Integrated rest as a core business strategy
• Found a high-caliber community that expanded what she believed was possible

If you want 2026 to be your highest-growth, lowest-stress year yet, DM WORTHY to learn about the next retreat.

How My Client Built a Multi–6 Figure Business While Working Less

Working with 100+ coaches taught me this.

Everyone wants growth.

But most don’t know what’s really in the way.

Not skill.

Not talent.

Not drive.

Here’s what I saw again and again from the coaches I worked with
(and the founders at Coaching.com where my sessions ranked highest):

1. Leads grow. But nurturing does not.

Most understand lead gen.
Few understand lead care.
Your next client is often warm…
But not guided.

2. Many can coach. Few can close.

Sales feels scary.
Heavy.
Pushy.
But closing is serving.
And serving takes skill.

3. Self-belief is the real block.

The next level asks you
to think bigger than your fears.
But fear wins when you stay quiet.

4. Revenue grows when you grow.

The strategies work.
But only at the level
you believe you can lead.

Here’s what I tell every client:

→ Care for your leads.
→ Build your sales skill.
→ Stop shrinking your voice.
→ Trust the value you bring.

Simple shifts.
Big jumps.

If you want help with your next level,
send me a DM.

Stop overcomplicating your content — here’s what actually gets clients.

Most coaches don’t have a content problem.

They have an overthinking problem.

If you’ve been posting for months…
…getting likes but not clients
…writing long, polished posts that don’t move the needle
…feeling like you need to be “more expert” to get someone to buy

There’s a reason why.

Here’s the truth no one told me early in my coaching journey:

Clients don’t hire you because your content is perfect.
They hire you because your message hits them at the right moment.

Here’s what actually works (and it’s much simpler than you think):

You don’t need fancier content.
You don’t need a more complicated strategy.
You don’t need to “sound smarter.”

You just need to speak clearly, consistently, and courageously.

Your people don’t want a perfect creator.
They want a leader who helps them feel hope again.

If you’re willing to simplify instead of overthink,
you’ll be shocked by how fast clients start reaching out.

Stop overcomplicating your content strategy!
