Does anyone know of or recommend products management mentors or coaches in the UK? I feel like I’m struggling a little and need some help. Some of the issues are most likely me but I can attribute a bunch to my org

Be careful of the money pit of these so called mentors and coaches.

Product management shouldn't be extreme enough for you to need a coach or mentor. Something else must be going on in your personal or professional life. Save your wallet

Linkedin, Google, chatgpt are a few tools to use, to search up product management concepts.

Coach / mentor stuff is usually for your personal life. So if anything, maybe look for professional coaches. Those consultancies that can help YOU become a better version of yourself

I like the Product Dave Newsletter. He shares helpful actionable tips you can use.

Can’t you find someone inside UKG? It might be the most effective way to gain new perspectives and shift your thinking entirely. I have done it and I also help others who reach out. Often the connections happen through word of mouth.

Look at my profile and feel free to connect if you think my profile works for you. Happy to just help out and provide suggestions without charging. Can also connect you to others I know from Amazon or Uber if you need more B2C mentorship https://www.linkedin.com/in/desmond-leo

I'm UK based. I felt this recently and signed up to Leland (freebie from LinkedIn premium so why not). Only got one session but my coach is working with me outside of the platform for free, he's based in the US. Meet a Mentor is UK based and free. You might find it overrun with engineers but could get lucky and find a PM mentor. Also Intelligent People UK recruitment company offers product mentoring.

Joining product communities and networks helps too to meet others like yourself to exchange ideas and for support.

Get a mentor from within your Org.
You can also join meetups where you get to meet other PMs.

Hello All, my joining date needs to be extended by 5 days in JPMC and HR said in call that no revised offer letter based on new joining date will be issued and new joining date confirmation will be somewhat communicated prior to 3 days of onboarding.
However he mentioned he will reply back with a confirmation email on top of the email which I have sent requesting for revised joining date.
Do you see any risk of offer cancellation/revocation here?
