Hi, I’m Grace C. McBride, founder of The Irreplaceable Product Manager, and your partner in leveling up your product career. With 15+ years driving product strategy, digital growth, and leading high-performing teams in top organizations, I know the challenges product professionals face and how to break through them.

I’m passionate about helping product managers (at all stages) not just survive, but become irreplaceable in their teams. My coaching combines real-world lessons, proven frameworks, and mindset shifts so you can build influence, lead with clarity, and deliver impact.

How We’ll Work Together

    •    We’ll work through real challenges you bring to the table—product decisions, stakeholder alignment, communication, prioritization, leadership conversations, career transitions, etc.

    •    We’ll use guided frameworks, exercises, and case-based work (many pulled from The Irreplaceable Product Manager).

    •    You’ll receive assignments, reflection prompts, or small experiments between sessions to test new approaches in real situations.

    •    I’ll provide feedback, accountability, and perspective — coaching you through issues, helping you reframe limiting mindsets, and adjusting strategies as you grow.

Near the end of our time together (or periodically, in longer engagements), we’ll review your progress against the goals we set. We’ll evaluate wins, lessons, and remaining growth areas. From there, you may choose to continue coaching, transition to mentorship, or move confidently forward on your own — with the tools, frameworks, and mindset to keep you advancing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Nope! You don’t need to read the book before a session—but it’s a powerful companion. Many of the concepts, exercises, and prompts I use during coaching come straight from The Irreplaceable Product Manager, so having it on hand can deepen your reflection and accelerate your growth.

    Think of it like a playbook we can both reference—before, during, or after our sessions.

    If you’ve already read it, amazing—we can jump straight into the work.

    If not, no worries. I’ll meet you exactly where you are.

  • My book The Irreplaceable Product Manager is the foundation for many of the strategies, frameworks, and prompts we’ll explore in our sessions. It’s designed as both a guide and a workbook—with self-reflection exercises, worksheets, and coaching conversation guides that align closely with how I coach.

    During our sessions, we’ll often pull directly from the book to:

    • Dig deeper into mindset shifts or habits

    • Complete frameworks together in real time

    • Track your growth using the built-in worksheets

    • Build a repeatable system for product excellence and career clarity

    Think of the book as your personal playbook—and coaching as the custom, real-time experience that brings it to life.

  • Great question! Your career is the most important investment you can make. Each coaching package is designed to meet you where you are, whether you need a single breakthrough session or a full transformation program.
