Career evolutions can look like bold visible changes, or quieter internal challenges of identity shifts and questions of self-doubt that feel impossible to ignore. This podcast explores the career seasons people find themselves in and how they move through them. It's not just when someone finds a new job, but also falls out of love with one, crafts their own leadership style, rebuilds confidence, leans back in after a setback, or redefining success on your own terms and going after it. Hosted by Hope Chauland, certified coach and product marketing mentor, the show features honest, reflective conversations with her coaching clients and influential industry professionals. Together, they explore pivotal moments where something no longer fits, clarity feels just out of reach, or confidence needs rebuilding and what it truly takes to evolve. This isn't a podcast about quick fixes, career hacks, or dramatic reinvention. It's about coaching conversations with people who gave themselves permission to evolve with intention and share insights in a safe supported space, before taking one act of bravery at a time to step into what's next.

    Client Story - 04 - Valery Mezencev on leadership lessons from Senior PMM to Head of Product Marketing

    When Valery and I worked together he described himself as curious and ambitious, yet unclear about his next career move. It was his first experience working with a career coach, and he wanted support navigating several significant transitions at once, including moving into a global corporate environment for the first time and seeking clarity on how to progress his career with greater intention.   Over the course of our partnership, Valery transitioned from Product Marketing Manager to Head of Product Marketing at Cisco, working within the Slido organisation and stepped into people leadership for the first time. By the end of our work together, he described feeling confident, focused, and curious again, with a much stronger sense of direction and trust in his ability to operate as a PMM, a team lead and a better idea of future directions he could take his career in longer term.    This episode with my client covers:  The mentality shift from being an individual contributor to a team lead  Valery's transition of startup life into a global corporate   Getting comfortable with possibility of failure and not having all the answers, even as a leader  How Valery moved from uncertainty to having confidence in his career decisions with the help of coaching   Connect with Valery  https://www.linkedin.com/in/valery-mezencev/   https://valerymezencev.com/     Kick-start your own coaching journey  Book a complimentary Discovery Call with Hope:  https://calendly.com/hopechauland/free-mentor-discovery-call     What to expect  1.

    Guest Story - 03 - Mary Sheehan on ambition, motherhood, and redefining what's possible

    🎙️In this episode of Career Evolutions, I'm joined by Mary Sheehan, product marketing leader at Adobe and founder of the program Propel Yourself, supporting ambitious working mums in tech. This isn't a conversation about "having it all". It's about what happens when: 👀 your career and motherhood collide 👀 your capacity changes, but your ambition doesn't 👀 you're trying to figure out what's next, without losing yourself in the process Mary describes that moment in 3 words: exhausted, FOMO, and overwhelmed. And I can honestly say as a mother myself… I felt every one of them at some point too. Together, we explored: 👉🏼 the identity shift that reshapes your relationship with work 👉🏼 her "MVP" approach to starting with small habits and building sustainably 👉🏼 the reality of returning from mat leave, from logistics to emotional loa 👉🏼 how a coach supported Mary to start before she felt ready As a coach and as someone navigating my own evolving season of motherhood, I also share how being part of one of Mary's early pilot Propel cohorts positively impacted me. One moment that stayed with me: "I remember thinking… is this how every day is going to be?" That honest reflection captures so much of what this episode is about. Not having all the answers, but finding a way forward anyway. This episode is for you if: You're navigating a new entry to motherhood and career You feel the tension between ambition and childcare You're craving space to meet with other ambitious mothers Or you simply want reassurance that you're not the only one figuring this out as you go Connect with Mary / Join Propel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryshirleysheehan/ Propel Yourself: https://propelyourself.substack.com/ Work with me If this conversation has you reflecting on your next chapter, you can book a complimentary Discovery Call with me: https://calendly.com/hopechauland/free-mentor-discovery-call What to expect: We'll explore your career journey so far Understand the challenges you're navigating Get clear on what you want next And discuss how I can support you (if coaching is the right fit) Why work with me 🌟 40+ verified testimonials from PMMs and marketing leaders at L'Oréal, Amadeus, JustGiving, Cisco, SAP, Microsoft and more http://www.linkedin.com/in/hope-chauland  🌟 5-star reviews on my LinkedIn Services page   🌟20+ testimonials on my own career coaching website: https://www.pmmcareer.coach/  Connect with me https://www.pmmcareer.coach/ www.linkedin.com/in/hope-chauland

    Client Story – 02 – Claire Oswald on Moving from Stuck to Being A Team Lead

    At the point when I first met Claire, she described her career in three words: frustrated, underappreciated, and stuck. She knew she was capable of more. But like many product marketers, she didn't yet have the clarity, confidence, or support to take the next step in her career and explore new enviroments and more responsibility.  Fast forward 12 months: Claire is now leading a team, aligned with her company's mission, and describes her career today as fulfilled, aligned, and empowered.  This isn't a story about a quick job move.  It's about what happens when you:  Realise you've outgrown your environment  Get clear on what actually matters to you  Start showing up with confidence in your experience and value  This episode covers:   👉🏼 What it really means to get clear on your values and how that shapes the roles you go after  👉🏼 How strengthening your professional positioning across your CV, LinkedIn, and interviews can unlock confidence  👉🏼 The shift from self-doubt to building a visible personal brand and sharing your perspective  👉🏼 What makes the right coaching relationship and why feeling seen and understood matters  Connect with Claire   https://www.claireoswald.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/claireoswald27/    Kick-start your own coaching journey  Book a complimentary Discovery Call with Hope:   https://calendly.com/hopechauland/free-mentor-discovery-call     What to expect  1.

    Guest Story – 01 – Emma Stratton on evolving beyond a strong personal brand

    Emma Stratton owns and runs a consulting and training firm that helps fast-growing B2B tech companies win on positioning and messaging and wrote the book Make it Punchy, popular with PMMs. In this open, honest conversation, Emma shares the reality of evolving a successful brand while stepping into a new chapter of her career. She reflects on having felt longing, knowing, and frozen for 'what's next' despite outward success. Together we explore Emma's journey toward launching The Emma Stratton Show and exploring mindset coaching as she moved from resistance and self-doubt to feeling fun, excited, and inspired by her new ventures.   Together we unpack: Designing a career around how you're wired, not against it Reframing "pivots" as seasons of evolution and self-expression, not resets How success, reputation, and a strong personal brand can quietly hold you back The role of experimentation, visibility, and "trying it on" before committing Why partnering with a coach or team can be the catalyst for action Connect with Emma  https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-stratton-punchy/   https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-stratton-show/id1801100359   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Punchy-Simple-Messaging-Markets/dp/1774584085    Explore your own career evolution with Hope: Book a complimentary Discovery Call with Hope to explore your career so far, share the challenge you're currently facing and explore how coaching can help you on your journey: https://calendly.com/hopechauland/free-mentor-discovery-call    What other say about Hope's coaching: 🌟 40+ verified testimonials on LinkedIn from PMMs and marketing leaders at L'Oréal, Amadeus, CISCO, SAP, Microsoft, JustGivingand more www.linkedin.com/in/hope-chauland  🌟100% verified five-star ratings on my LinkedIn Services page: LinkedIn Services  🌟20+ testimonials on my own career coaching website: https://www.pmmcareer.coach/    Connect with Hope:  https://www.pmmcareer.coach/  www.linkedin.com/in/hope-chauland
