Shishir NarulaFounder, Your Product Coach
Former Director of Product at ServiceNow
One-on-one personalized product management career coaching from a former Director of Product who's been on the inside — and helped 300+ PMs land their dream offers.
A quick sense of who I am — and the energy I'll bring to your search.
I've done genuinely hard things and learned to keep moving when the path is uncertain. That's the grit a search demands — and exactly what I'll help you build so you push through the long stretches without losing momentum.
I'm a believer in constant, incremental improvement. I've never stopped refining — and I'll teach you the same mechanisms so you compound, week over week.
I've been promoted every two to three years of my career. My rule is simple: move up, or move out. I don't settle for places I can't thrive — and I'll help you find one where you will.
Meditation, training, a healthy lifestyle — they keep me sharp and steady. The search is a marathon, and I'll help you build the habits that keep you resilient through it.
How I work — and why it's built to actually get you there.
I'm picky about who I coach. But when I commit, I commit fully — your search becomes my mission.
Your success becomes my responsibility. And if I ever sense it isn't working, I'll stop and refund you.
A handful of students at a time. No cohorts, no group coaching — everything is built entirely around you.
Weekly goals, weekly check-ins, no drift. Accountability is the engine that turns intent into offers.
How you think about the search shapes the search. We train the inner game as hard as the tactics.
Real progress happens in deep, focused hours — not scattered ones. I'll help you find them and protect them.
A proven, step-by-step blueprint I've refined across 300+ PMs — from strategy all the way to the room.
We finalize your strategy first, so you stop spraying and praying. You get selective — a focused, five-step plan for where you aim and why.
I give you the tools to level up Product Sense, AI fluency, metrics-based execution, root-cause analysis, and case studies.
We develop your story together. I teach you techniques to write narratives that land — and we review and refine them side by side.
Then we deliver. I coach you through live mock interviews so your story lands with impact when it counts.
Finally, the mechanisms of executive presence — so you don't just answer the question, you command the room.

When I first connected with Shishir, I was in a place many experienced Product Managers find themselves in — I had solid experience, meaningful accomplishments, and strong instincts, but I lacked clarity on how to position myself, how to value my experience, and how to approach my search in a structured way. What changed from our very first meeting was clarity.
Shishir helped me see my professional worth more objectively. He gave me a framework to think about my career — not just the next job, but where I should realistically be aiming based on my experience, strengths, and long-term potential. That perspective was incredibly motivating because it replaced uncertainty with direction.
What stood out most about his coaching style was his honesty. He never sold fluff, never painted an unrealistic picture of the market, and never made empty promises. His message was simple: the market is tough, but what we can control is how we prepare, how we position ourselves, and how we stand out.
The biggest hurdle he helped me overcome was mindset. More than resume reviews or interview tactics, he helped me move from doubt and scattered effort to confidence and structured execution.
If you're looking for honest, practical, no-BS career guidance from someone who genuinely wants to help you elevate, Shishir is exactly that person. There's a reason so many people trust him — he tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.
Shishir is extremely articulate and hardworking. A coach you'll want to listen to, even as he (gently) delivers the bad news about your latest mock interview. In my experience he listens well and gives tailored advice. I never felt with him that I was getting the kind of rehashed generic advice that can be common in the coaching space. It was real feedback on the current conversation, from someone dedicated to the practice and to teaching. I never left a session without feeling like the bar had been kindly raised. You will get great coaching here!
Shishir gave me exactly what I needed: honest, tough-love feedback that I wasn't getting anywhere else. I had the right stories, but my confidence was tanking my delivery. He pinpointed it immediately and armed me with real mindset tools to fix it. Within a week, my whole approach transformed. That's the power of great coaching — he stopped me from spinning my wheels and got me moving fast.
Shishir was my favorite instructor. He brings a rare combination of deep expertise in structured interviewing and a genuine, empathetic coaching style. Beyond teaching interview techniques, he helps you develop the confidence, clarity, and strategic thinking needed to perform at your best in high-stakes professional conversations.
Storytelling is the most underrated skill in product management. We spend all our time shipping — handling data, shifting priorities, and meeting tight deadlines — but translating that messy, complex work into a narrative that another person can actually follow and remember is incredibly difficult.
Shishir's narrative workshop completely changed how I think about communicating my work.
He doesn't just hand you a generic template and send you off. He worked with me line by line through my real experience building 0-1 products and launching new verticals under massive time constraints. He forced me to slow down right where the actual decision-making lives — the hard product trade-offs that most PMs rush past, but are exactly what reveal how you think.
The part I didn't expect was the delivery coaching. Shishir taught me how to anchor on a few critical words in each section so I stay on track while still sounding completely like myself. It has completely shifted how I show up in stakeholder conversations and everyday team discussions.
By the end of our sessions, I didn't just have a polished library of my wins — I walked away with a repeatable framework to turn any complex product problem into a compelling narrative.
Shishir is an incredible career coach with a keen eye for the details needed to communicate your value. He played a key role in helping me clarify my strengths, refine my narrative, and significantly elevate my interview performance.
What sets Shishir apart is his practical and personalized approach. He takes the time to understand your goals, experience, and aspirations, and then tailors his guidance to help you position yourself effectively.
Shishir ran multiple mock interviews with me, each followed by thoughtful, direct, and highly actionable feedback. His attention to detail and focus on continuous improvement helped me build confidence quickly and consistently perform at a higher level. He doesn't just prepare you for specific questions — he equips you with the mindset and adaptability to navigate any interview situation in real time.
If you're looking for a coach who can help you refine your narrative, strengthen your interview presence, and unlock new opportunities, Shishir is someone you want in your corner.
Working with Shishir fundamentally changed how I approach leadership interviews. I had the experience and track record, but he helped me elevate how I communicated my leadership, impact, and strategic thinking in a way that resonated at the senior level.
What stood out most was his ability to refine not just my answers, but my overall executive presence — how to lead the conversation with confidence, frame responses with clarity and influence, and make my impact unmistakably clear without sounding overly polished or rehearsed.
A few key lessons that continue to stay with me:
His behavioral mock interviews were especially valuable. Rather than simply practicing questions, Shishir coached me on how to turn interviews into high-quality leadership discussions where interviewers could clearly see the scope of my thinking, decision-making, and leadership style.
For product leaders preparing for senior or executive-level roles, I highly recommend working with Shishir.
Working with Shishir genuinely changed the way I show up in interviews. I wasn't planning to do coaching at all, and he is the one who convinced me to give myself that chance.
What I appreciate most is how he never let me minimize my experience. He pushed me to bring my whole self forward, to stop cutting short the impact of what I have actually done, and to express my story with clarity and confidence.
It helped me recognize my own value and show it fully. That mindset shift is something I will carry with me well beyond any single conversation.
What I valued most about working with Shishir was that he didn't just help me prepare for interviews — he helped me show up as a product leader. Early on, my answers had the right ingredients, and Shishir worked with me on positioning, on shaping a clear narrative, and on making sure the impact of what I'd done actually registered with the person across the table.
He also opened my eyes to a set of daily habits that quietly compound into executive presence. A few that have stuck with me:
The behavioral mock interviews were where it all came together. Shishir doesn't run them as Q&A drills. He sets them up as real conversations and coaches you on creating moments where the interviewer can see exactly what you bring. Shishir brought both — the product instincts of a senior leader and the accountability of a coach who actually expects you to show up week after week. For any PM working toward senior roles, he's the coach I'd point you to.
Shishir took genuine interest in making sure the candidate coming across in my interviews was the candidate I actually wanted to project. He challenged my stories, explored them from multiple angles, and pushed me to go deeper than I thought I needed to. His feedback on delivery, pacing, pauses, and how to land answers with the right impact was practical and immediately actionable. Shishir was generous with his time and resources, and that investment made a real difference in my job search.
Working with Shishir helped me bring structure, clarity, and confidence to my PM interview preparation. I came in with strong product and cybersecurity experience, but needed help turning that experience into concise, senior-level stories that clearly showed product judgment, strategy, leadership, and measurable impact.
What stood out was how practical and personalized his coaching was. He helped me pressure-test my answers, simplify complex stories, and communicate with stronger executive presence. I'm grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone serious about leveling up their PM career.
I worked with Shishir after suddenly being laid off. With his help I was able to successfully land a role as a Staff Product Manager.
No pressure, no strings. Let's see if working together makes sense.
