PLUS BY PRAXIS
A community of servant leaders in pursuit of product mastery.
Our Story
Praxis Product Leadership organizes free classes and publications on product mastery and servant leadership. When our first leadership cohort kept going as a community even after our weekly program ended, I realized we had something special. This was cemented by my work in the Aspiring PM community.
Over the past four months, I’ve provided free 1:1 coaching for individuals needing interview prep assistance or looking to learn how to get into the Product Management discipline. In addition, I’ve worked with product leaders across the country—deep-diving into how we all can take our skills to the next level. What I’ve learned is that both communities have many overlapping needs, and would benefit from a fostered space to grow together.
Plus, product leadership community, was born.
Our goal with Plus is to scale the Praxis Product Leadership values we teach through our invite-only cohort-based program. In doing so, we will build a community of current and future product leaders who ascribe to servant leadership.
On behalf of the Plus community, we look forward to welcoming you,
“As someone new to product management, Praxis helped supercharge my skills.”

Concept in brief. While it’s tempting to hire the most senior team you can, an effective product team needs junior talent. By mentoring junior talent, you leverage your senior product managers and increase their product skills by broadening their exposure to problems. When you hire product managers, avoid hiring for a prototypical PM and minimize…
