At Confidence & Impact, we empower product managers to elevate their skills, communicate their value, and achieve greater influence in the industry. This platform connects you to a suite of targeted resources designed to accelerate your career growth and refine the skills you need to succeed.

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.

Repeatable Sales Model

Our B2B offer, especially for companies that have a product that is being used by at least a handful of successful customers - but they haven't cracked the nut of the "repeatable sales model."

We work with your sales and marketing teams - and your successful customers - to craft a sales funnel that captures your your ideal prospects and then guides them through a high-conversion sales journey. We optimize every touchpoint—from landing page messaging to discovery and sales calls—using your prospect’s own language and specific pain points.

Discover Confidence & Impact

Whether you're refining your resume, deepening your PM expertise, or seeking insider techniques to succeed, Confidence & Impact is your gateway to the resources that matter. Explore each site, and start building your confidence, impact, and career momentum today.
