Hi, I'm Nils Davis

I'm a long time enterprise software product manager, product management thought leader, author of

The Secret Product Manager Handbook, and host of the Secrets of Product Management podcast.


One of my many passions is helping product managers strategize and accelerate their careers, which I do through the three sites associated with Confidence & Impact.

Our Core Sites

Confidence & Impact is the umbrella for three specialized sites, each offering focused resources for your product management journey.

The go-to source for insider knowledge, The Secrets of PM podcast delivers actionable episodes packed with insights on essential skills like market discovery, go-to-market strategies, team leadership, and persuasive communication. Each episode provides practical takeaways that you can apply immediately.

This site offers in-depth guides, frameworks, and tools designed to equip PMs with the foundational and advanced skills necessary for product success. Covering topics like prioritization, roadmapping, and executive alignment, The Secret PM Handbook is essential for those looking to master the craft of product management.

The Secret PM Handbook site is also a companion to the The Secret Product Manager Handbook, my book for product managers.

Tailored specifically for product managers, Perfect PM Resume helps you transform your resume into a powerful career story that showcases your unique value. With services like one-on-one coaching and mock interviews, it ensures you stand out to hiring managers as a high-impact candidate.
