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
