Going from a team of product marketers to be the first dedicated PMM for a tech startup was a big transition for me. I knew I needed help from someone who had done something similar to navigate my role successfully. Yi Lin brought in amazing qualities as a coach—perspective, wisdom, and empathy (to name a few)—that propelled me to a new phase of my career and job where I felt empowered to tackle opportunities and challenges. I would strongly recommend her to other product marketers who want to learn how to grow in their PMM careers, harnessing the value of their experience in a new environment.

Yi Lin provided tremendous value to me as I moved from an individual contributor to a director role within product marketing. Her wealth of insights and best practices helped me quickly stand up and refine our PMM team processes, and gave me the framework I needed to build the most important bridges across our organization. She was an invaluable sounding board and coach as I built my confidence as a leader. I'm so grateful to have worked with her!

I had the pleasure to work with Yi Lin as one of her career coaching clients. Yi Lin was so helpful throughout the process - her communication was great, she was very empathetic to my specific career journey and she gave really great insights throughout the entire process. Working with Yi Lin, I was able to find a job within 3 months. Also, job searching is never easy, and I felt that her guidance helped to make the process a little less daunting. I have recommended her to friends and would certainly work with her again in the future.

"I decided to work with Yi Lin after following her and getting significant value from her content on LinkedIn. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made for my career, as I landed my dream role I am super excited about, within 2.5 months after working with her, even in a tough job market!

What I loved about working with Yi Lin is that her materials and instructions were value packed, straight to the point with zero fluff. This helped me articulate the value I brought and tell a cohesive story. It also ensured I focused on the most impactful activities in the job search process - allowing me to be efficient and conserve energy.

One unique element of the program is that Yi Lin also has a supportive private community that provided an opportunity to connect with and learn alongside other talented individuals at all levels of seniority. And to top it off Yi Lin holds incredible group coaching sessions on a regular basis which supported me both with my job search and as a marketer. Some of the workshops she hosted include AI in product marketing, positioning/messaging, GTM strategies, to name a few.

All in all, I received significantly more value than the investment, and the ROI is well worth it. Having worked with other coaches, I will say her coaching is far more valuable than standard programs which would not offer you the opportunity to refine your skills in such a way and learn with industry peers. I 100% recommend working with her if you need a helpful, empathetic guide along your job search and growth journey!"

Before I connected with Yi Lin, I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of my next job search. I knew I wanted a new challenge, but I wasn't sure where to start. Yi helped me gain clarity through insightful coaching sessions, asking powerful questions that helped me define my ideal role and career goals. Her one-on-one approach felt personalized and supportive, like having a cheerleader in my corner.

She asked insightful questions about prior products that helped me completely revamp my resume, highlighting my strengths and achievements in a way that resonated with recruiters and hiring managers. She's also cracked the code for writing cover letters that land interviews; she helped me craft compelling narratives that showcased my unique value proposition.

Yi Lin's library of resources and templates made my search process smoother and less daunting. The connections I made with other product marketing professionals in her community allowed me to build a valuable network that continues to offer support and advice as I prepare to dive into a new role.

I am grateful to Yi for empowering me to take control of my career and navigate the journey with clarity and confidence. She was a game-changer for me, and I can't recommend her services highly enough.

"I chose to work with Yi Lin because of her sheer knowledge in the field as well as her genuine desire to help her clients work towards landing their dream roles. Despite it being a tough time in the job market, Yi Lin never once doubted that I would find a great role, which truly helped me maintain my confidence and calm as I continued my job search. With her help, I have been able to land a great role and I am truly excited to continue working with Yi Lin moving forward as I progress in my journey."

As someone who has been managed and coached by Yi Lin, I’ve experienced first-hand her genuine commitment to my growth and transformation.

Yi Lin hired me while at Teachable, and she has since been my biggest advocate, providing me with strategic expertise and coaching through complex situations and tasks. As a result, I continued seeking advice from her when she became a full-time coach.

As a coach, Yi Lin masterfully blends clear communication, refreshing transparency, highly specific advice, and a positive mindset. After every session, I can better see the bigger picture, walk away with clear next steps, and--not to be underestimated--benefit from much-needed emotional guidance.

In my view, Yi Lin’s effectiveness as a coach derives from a truly unique point of view informed firstly by her background as a career pivoter, not only once, but multiple times, which provides her with a deep well of empathy for people of diverse backgrounds who often experience myriad challenges on their journey; and secondly, her varied interests and backgrounds as an artist, consultant, and someone who has lived in many places, all of which make her keenly observant of people’s specific needs and superpowers.

If you want to grow in your PMM career, I can’t recommend her highly enough, no matter your background.

Yi Lin’s coaching program transformed my job search. Her expert guidance taught me effective methods to focus my efforts for maximum impact. Working closely with Yi Lin on interview techniques was invaluable. Unlike other resources that simply give you questions and example answers, Yi Lin took the time to work through questions with me and helped me to understand how my experience could translate into answers that showcased how I was the best candidate for the role. This totally changed the game for me when interviewing. Thank you, Yi Lin, for equipping me to succeed!

More specifically, I started working with Yi Lin after a layoff— she provided me with instant relief from our very first call. It was her expert understanding of the field and concrete strategy that helped to lift some of the weight off of my shoulders. I credit the ease with which I was able to land a new role that I love— within the time frame I set out for myself— to her coaching. She helped me identify my strengths and impactful stories to focus on in interviews, gave me feedback on my materials, created a supportive community of tech folks, and is my most trusted advisor. In fact, I have enrolled to work with her again as I enter a new phase as a product marketer. I highly recommend working with Yi Lin in any stage of your career.

Attention anyone looking for expert support in their tech career:

Like many others, I first came across Yi Lin's content on LinkedIn and noticed her name circulating as an influential voice in tech and product marketing. As I considered reaching out, I remember being uncertain of the level of support I would receive from a tech career coach -- would this be similar to prior job placement services that were too general to be useful to me? Absolutely not. As someone who has now completed a full coaching cycle and various workshops with Yi Lin I am 100% sure I made the right decision to schedule that initial call with her.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with Yi Lin - as her guidance played an instrumental role in helping me secure a coveted Product Marketing Director role that aligned perfectly with my goals. The journey was challenging, but the payoff was worth every effort invested.

My objective was to transition from an enterprise setting to a startup. However, given the tough job market, I found myself facing a lot of rejections despite my experience. The turning point came with Yi Lin’s guidance on targeting only companies that fit my background and domain. Then, using her PSAR frameworks and highly personalized messaging house, my value was able to shine and I was able to stand out.

Additionally, her program and community also allowed me to transform into a better product marketer. The exposure to diverse product marketing perspectives allowed me to improve my strategic thinking and point of view - an unexpected but welcomed outcome of this journey. The comprehensive support I received—from group meetings and guest speakers to practice interviews—was pivotal in preparing me for the challenges of my new role.

I express my deepest gratitude to Yi Lin and her client community for their unwavering support, invaluable tips, and encouragement throughout this journey. Job searching can be isolating, but with this team, I never felt alone.

Yi Lin and I worked together when I was searching for my latest role and I would and have recommended her to anyone in the hunt who'd like an expert set of PMM eyes to help give them a leg up on the competition. I'm a very seasoned PMM leader, but she is a framework master and was instrumental in helping me clarify what I was trying to say. She was pivotal in taking my work from good to great and my investment in working with her has definitely already proven to have a positive ROI.
