In 2020, I established Product Peers as a community of +200 product managers and product owners to address the identified need for a support network for driven product professionals facing frustration and challenges in their roles.

We provided practical solutions and support through weekly virtual working sessions. Each of the 20 participants acted as both a coach and a coachee. The peers introduced a topic and others joined to discuss their specific issue in several break-out rooms.

Based on over 80 responses, Product Peers achieved an average session NPS score of 8.6/10, proving its effectiveness as a tool for developing more effective product leaders. However, the time and effort required to organise sessions remained a challenge. After one year and over 50 sessions, I made the decision to put the project on hold in 2022.

Today, as a coach I still consider myself a peer. The brand Product Peers might become a platform for several like-minded coaches. Product Peers is here to stay!
