Previous COLAB cohort members’ experiences
"I am re-motivated to not only progress my product career but also to keep trying to influence and make a significant change in my organisation. I am so grateful to everyone in my cohort, but also to our two facilitators who were so generous in their knowledge sharing. They both added so much value and the session structure was on point. I can’t recommend joining a cohort enough, it will be career-changing."
- Lusi Heath, Product Owner @ BNZ
“I’ve always struggled with imposter syndrome in my product management journey - especially since I have either been the first hire within a startup or a remote PM running around in my own head for too long. My time with COLAB truly helped squash this and validate when I question myself too granularly, it’s these interactions that I’ve missed out on and I can’t say how valuable they are. The community built with COLAB is an inspiring place to be.”
- Jamie Dawson, Product Manager @ Hyper
“Meeting and getting to know other passionate product people from a range of different companies and backgrounds. Challenging my thinking on product and learning from the experiences and expertise others have.”
- Alistair McLeay, Product Owner @ Xero
