Training
Private In-House Training for Product People.
Training for product managers and product leaders, built on the artefacts they already own. Participants bring a real strategy, roadmap, opportunity brief or discovery plan, and leave with it improved to a standard they would be content to show their stakeholders the same week.
I have taught product management inside large organisations for many years, and the lesson I keep relearning is that people do not need more theory. They need a safe place to do the real work in front of someone who has done it before, and who will tell them kindly where it falls short. My training is built around that. I design it for each organisation that engages me as a product coach or interim Head of Product, and I run it privately, in house. I do not currently offer public cohort training, and all training materials are tailored specifically to your organisation before we use them.
The curriculum covers ten sessions, which can be taken as a programme or chosen individually: product strategy, opportunity framing, discovery and interviewing, synthesis, prioritisation, roadmaps and outcomes, metrics, stakeholder communication, commercial reasoning and working with artificial intelligence as a product practitioner. Each session has a rubric drawn from how the role is actually assessed, and each produces a finished artefact.
Every group has access to the Toolkit Assistant, an AI coach trained on the same artefacts and concepts, available between sessions. It is an approach I have battle-tested in product coaching, with agentic AI at its heart and a real deliverable as the output of every hour invested.
Format
How the Training Runs.
Eight to Sixteen People
From one organisation, usually a mix of product managers and their leaders, so that the standards agreed in the room survive outside it.
Half Days, in Person or Online
Ten sessions as a programme, or a selection chosen to fit the problems the organisation actually has.
Real Artefacts, Prepared in Advance
Participants bring their own material. We improve it in the session and the Toolkit Assistant helps between sessions.
Rubrics from the Role
Each artefact is assessed the way a Chief Product Officer or interview panel would assess it, with written feedback.
In Their Words
"Imagine the room, starting the day wondering why they're even there... Ending the day engaged and collaborating with other teams, building and iterating Lego prototypes together with engineers, designers and other leaders. 100% convinced this had a hugely positive impact on everyone."
Ashley Kay · Group Head of Design & Digital Transformation, Bupa
"What stands out about Elle is not just her knowledge sharing but also her ability to inspire continuous growth in those around her."
Kaushal Kishore Thakur · Engineering Leader, Bupa
Talk About Training for Your Team.
Tell me about your team and the problems in front of them, and I will suggest which sessions would help and how we might run them.
If you are an individual, I also offer a generic toolkit, the Product Field Kit, for a one-off fee of £495. I do not currently license it for team, scaled or enterprise use.
