Documentation

README

Purpose

Guide PMs and Directors through the specific challenges of the PM-to-Director transition using adaptive questions and targeted coaching. Diagnoses where you are in the journey and delivers practical, war-story-backed guidance calibrated to your situation — not generic leadership advice.

This is not a readiness checklist. It's a coaching conversation that names what's actually hard, why it's hard, and what to do about it.

Input

Works best with: Where you are in the PM-to-Director journey: preparing for the jump, interviewing, newly landed, or recalibrating after a rough start. Also useful: Your org context (team size, who you'd report to) and the specific friction you're feeling.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
