  • Hattie the PMM on How to Become Impossible to Ignore at Work
    Feb 24 2026

    Hattie (Hattie the PMM) is the Founder of ProductMarketers.com and a career coach for Product Marketing Managers who want to become more respected, valued, and strategic at work. With over 12 years in tech — including experience as a CEO and CMO — Hattie teaches ambitious professionals how to build influence, visibility, and career leverage without burning out or people-pleasing.


    After surviving five rounds of tech layoffs, navigating a toxic micromanagement environment, and rebuilding her confidence from the ground up, Hattie developed the exact playbook she now uses to help PMMs get promoted, paid more, and positioned as strategic leaders.


    Her biggest turning point? Refusing to shrink — in her personal life and her career — and deciding to proactively invest in her communication skills, strategic visibility, and perceived value so her impact became impossible to ignore.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    → Why “doing great work” isn’t enough to get promoted in today’s workplace
    → How to identify your Career ICP (Ideal Career Profile) — and why it’s rarely your manager
    → The difference between being heard vs. being influential
    → How to build strategic visibility that protects you during layoffs
    → Why perceived value drives promotions, bonuses, and job security
    → The 3 R framework (Recognizable, Respected, Reputable) for measuring your career growth
    → Why investing in yourself first eliminates impostor syndrome and builds real confidence
    → The difference between being a “nice” high performer and a strategically visible leader

  • From “Am I Enough?” to Six Figures: A Career Breakthrough Story
    Feb 17 2026

    Priya Sam is the Host & Founder at Unleash Your Voice, where she helps ambitious women in six-figure corporate roles who struggle with being overlooked, undervalued, or unsure how to communicate their value to step into undeniable executive presence and unlock the promotions, visibility, and compensation they truly deserve. Her signature Power Story Framework is a key part of all of her programs as she helps her clients build powerful personal brands, strategic communication skills, and confidence.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    → Why your experience is probably not the problem — and what actually holds high-performing women back
    → How value articulation, not more credentials, determines how leaders and hiring managers perceive you
    → The power of personal brand pillars and how they instantly elevate your positioning
    → How to turn overlooked experiences into compelling differentiators that set you apart
    → Why interviews are not the time to “wing it” and how Power Stories change everything

    Priya walks through Riley’s transformation — from feeling uncertain, underpaid, and “not enough” after learning her job was ending, to landing her first ever six-figure job offer. This episode breaks down the exact mindset and communication shifts that made the difference, including how to speak about your work in a way that allows decision-makers to clearly “place” you at a higher level.
