Quote
Securing the domain Productleadercoach.com was my way of firmly establishing my path forward. Just as writing down notes solidifies ideas, owning that URL provided a tangible reminder of my commitment to pursue my next chapter whenever the opportunity arose.

Building trust and confidence as a product leader involves seeking guidance beyond your immediate circle. It’s about recognising the value of user feedback, even in unexpected places.

Short overview
Tami Reiss shares her journey from tech industry veteran to coach and mentor for product leaders. We discuss how she chose The Product Leader Coach as a brand name, envisioning herself transitioning into a role where she could leverage her expertise to coach executives. Tami provides insights on the value of domain names, citing examples from her experiences. She highlights the significance of shorter, more memorable domains like CSOD.com, used by Cornerstone OnDemand, and Moto.com, acquired by a car startup. She discusses the challenges faced in acquiring educational domain names like .edu extensions and the strategic decision by Brooklyn Bridge Ventures to purchase clubhouse.com for clarity amidst the success of the Clubhouse app.
When asked about the most common reasons people reach out to her, Tami shares that she often works with the head-of-product executives who seek to excel in their roles but need more peers to turn to for advice without undermining their leadership.
Discussing leadership, technology, and product development, Tami shares that people with a product-oriented mindset can quickly adapt to new industries due to their ability to ask the right questions and find sustainable solutions. She values humility and a growth mindset in product leaders, believing it leads to better outcomes and stronger relationships with team members.
Regarding AI and its influence in modern life, Tami believes that some jobs cannot be replaced by AI, citing public speaking and inspirational speaking as examples.
In 2024, Tami anticipates the release of her children’s book “What do Product Managers Do?” and is working on her business book, offering free virtual talks to organisations to gather valuable feedback and refine her content.
