# Example: Director Readiness Coaching
|
|
|
|
## Scenario
|
|
|
|
You are moving from senior IC or group PM work into Director-level expectations.
|
|
|
|
## Prompt
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
I'm a senior PM managing two PMs, strong on execution, weak on org influence, and interviewing for Director roles in 3 months. Coach me.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Output Excerpt
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Diagnosis
|
|
- You are operating strongly at team altitude and inconsistently at org altitude.
|
|
- Your likely interview risk is not execution depth. It is proving that you can shape priorities across teams and influence without direct authority.
|
|
|
|
Gaps to close in the next 90 days
|
|
- Build 3 stories that show portfolio tradeoffs, not just feature delivery.
|
|
- Practice framing decisions in terms of company bets, not just team output.
|
|
- Create a weekly visibility loop with engineering, design, and GTM stakeholders.
|
|
|
|
Recommended plan
|
|
- Weeks 1-2: inventory past projects and rewrite 5 stories using org-level impact language.
|
|
- Weeks 3-6: run mock interviews focused on conflict, strategy, and delegation.
|
|
- Weeks 7-12: ship one visible cross-functional improvement and capture evidence of influence.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why This Gets Reused
|
|
|
|
Career coaching becomes sticky when the advice is specific to role altitude, not generic motivation.
