Today we announced the launch of the latest version of our AI Coach in @TechCrunch.
We believe that the value of executive coaching should be accessible and affordable for everyone, and AI is making that possible. Read more here and then try it out:

We’re thrilled to share some big news! @PracticaHQ has been acquired by @BetterUp, the human transformation platform.
We can’t wait to embark on this new journey as part of BetterUp to build on our AI and coaching journey — and look forward to seeing what the future holds.

For my team, I’ve utilized @PracticaHQ and @torchlabs, depending on the person and role

For anyone that wants to go even deeper on product analytics, this catch-all article links to insightful resources from the likes of @sequoia, @andrewchen, and others. (5/n)

A few weeks ago I interviewed @ajscheff, CTO and Founder at @PracticaHQ, at an event organized in the Refactoring community 👇
youtube.com/watch?v=xpPasT7k…
This a terrific thread. We’re adding it to our syllabus on Customer Interviews, @joulee!
Our CTO and Co-Founder @ajscheff shares insights on engineering career frameworks developed over months of research, interviews, and product revisions: medium.com/practica/7-surpri…
If you're working on a career framework or thinking about it, read this article!
If you're building with GPT, this one's for you! We just published our syllabus on Generative AI featuring learnings, tactics, and strategies from @omarsar0, @lesswrong, @OpenAI, @TDataScience, @umang, @iarora_, and @labriataphd
Two sections that have been particularly helpful for us are 'Prompt Engineering' and 'Using Generative AI in Product Development'. You can read the entire syllabus here: practicahq.com/skill/generat…
It’s hard to find great examples of how GTM leaders find their Ideal Customer Profile.
Thankfully, we found @james406’ excellent “How we found our Ideal Customer Profile”
It joins content from @DakotaJMcKenzie, @davidcummings, & @gitlab on our syllabus:
practicahq.com/skill/ideal-c…
We updated our curated skill syllabus on Giving & Receiving Feedback with @mattspitz’ excellent “Getting Better Feedback”.
Find it - along with resources from @maccaw, @kimballscott, @lara_hogan, @joulee, @stevesi, @JasonFreedman, & @JillWetzler - at:

The most common thing I see that holds product leaders (and rising PMs) back is ego. They:
- dismiss CEO and exec insight
- take too much pride in process
- spend too much time on optics
- explain away bad results
- don’t ask for help
🎉We're excited to share we have a new name!🎉
BestPracticer is now:
Practica.
You can find us at our new home at PracticaHQ.com.
Our mission remains the same: helping people achieve their full potential in their careers through continuous skill development.

💼 Professional coaching
There are many platforms where you can get professional coaching and mentorship.
I did some coaching myself on @Best_Practicer, which is very good.
Other options include @CTOCraft and private mentors, as listed by @GergelyOrosz

For the first time, @ajscheff, @catehstn, Andrew Twyman (also ex-Dropbox) at @Best_Practicer and @lucaronin came together for a group coaching session for the Refactoring community.
A sneak peak to a fantastic discussion along with @jvdhillon👇

This reminds us a lot of what the relationships between our coaches and learners are like.
Coaching shouldn't be reserved just for worlds like sports & acting. It has a place in the tech world too, for engineers, PMs, marketers, etc of all levels, from junior ICs to the c-suite!
