A personal note

If you're like many managers, you've been given responsibility for something important.

A new initiative. A strategic priority. A transformation effort.

You were given the assignment.

But you probably weren't given a roadmap.

It's not a lack of commitment.

It's that you were handed accountability without structure.

That's what the Strategy Session is designed to provide.


Just 90 minutes - no commitment after that - for a practical 100-day roadmap that helps you:

  • Identify the biggest gaps and risks before they slow progress
  • List the people whose support matters most
  • Stop carrying the entire effort on your own
  • Know what to do next and why

This isn't another leadership course. This isn't theory.


This is a practical roadmap for work that is already on your desk.

The initiative is already moving. Let's give it a map.

Let's give real traction to work that matters, right now.

Ready?

Trust a proven process and field-tested tools.

Lots of insights in just one hour. The Change Feasibility Check was especially useful - it helped me see where my initiative is strong, where it is vulnerable, and what I actually need to focus on next.

It’s my first change strategy session, and while I learned new things, the greatest takeaway is that the Initiative Map helped me bring all the puzzle pieces into a single picture. Such a wonderful feeling to finally have this clarity! Thank you so much!

I love how the questions point to exactly where my change initiative needs attention and where I need to seek support. The Ally Map also made me realize I can’t do this alone. Trying to carry the change myself has been part of the problem.

Adriano, I was part of one of your workshops about 18 months ago, and it’s exciting to see the continued evolution of your thinking and the enduring power of the principles. The Change Feasibility Check was especially revealing. It helped me distinguish between how ready the organization is and where I personally may be holding the initiative back. Looking at capacity, capability, readiness, and stakeholder support made the gaps much more visible. Interestingly, and completely honestly, some of the places where I assumed the organization was the problem were actually areas where I need to change how I’m leading. Connecting the diagnosis to the 30-60-100 day plan makes this immediately useful. Fascinating work, and a great tribute to my team.

The change strategy session helped me prepare to share tools with my consulting colleagues who are looking to grow our shop. We asked how ready we really are to anticipate change and respond to it. The Change Feasibility Check and stakeholder questions led us to a meaningful conversation about where we are strong, where we need support, and what our next move should be. Very practical tools for turning a broad change conversation into action.

Dear Adriano, the change session was a boost in motivation. For me, the Change Charter and 30-60-100 structure feel like the glue I have been missing between all the tools we already use in everyday business practice. Thank you.

Thank you for a great tool, and I’m excited to apply the Change Feasibility Check to other ideas that need a plan. A huge realization was that some of the β€œpriorities” occupying so much of my headspace actually have low impact or low readiness. It immediately helped me decide what deserves attention and what doesn’t. I’ve already started mapping the next initiative.

So generous. So much value added. The virtual session was practical, focused, and packed with tools I can actually use immediately. The First Ally in 14 days was especially helpful. So rich and generous. I am honored and grateful.

The prioritization exercise led directly to a session with my team around our entire product range, the platform we operate on, and the system we use. The Change Opportunity Selection helped us see what was worth pursuing and what wasn’t. We’re likely going to close two products and adjust another. And these are just the first steps in the overhaul.

Adriano, great content and high value! After the strategy webinar, I found myself thinking: 1) I understand much more clearly why some change initiatives stall even when the idea is good; 2) the Change Feasibility Check gave me a practical way to diagnose the initiative before jumping into action; and 3) the 30-60-100 plan gave me tools I can immediately apply in client engagements. I left feeling much more confident about turning change from a broad aspiration into a sequence of concrete moves. Powerful and immediately applicable.

I am leaving the change strategy session with a massive amount of clarity about what is possible. I have been working on this initiative for the last year, but now I know what my next moves need to be. My favorite tool was the Changemaker Mirror.

Today’s change strategy session was fascinating because it forced me to look at the initiative differently. Instead of immediately asking, β€œWhat should I do?” we first looked at whether the change is actually built to work. The Change Feasibility Check made me examine capacity, capability, readiness, and the support around the initiative. That was a big realization. The 30-60-100 structure also made the work feel much less overwhelming because I could identify a visible result, the first people to engage, and the next few moves rather than trying to solve everything at once. I loved Adriano’s energy and the practical nature of the tools. I’m already reworking my plan and having a very different conversation with my team.

I applied the tools to a potential business partner who has a powerful carbon capture solution that I’m very keen on scaling. We have been talking for two years without moving forward. The stakeholder questions and Ally Map helped me think differently about what may actually be blocking progress. We have a meeting next week, and I’m preparing for it very differently now.

This morning, my team and I had a long discussion about the risks and concerns surrounding one of our change initiatives. The stakeholder and readiness questions from the virtual session gave us a way to talk openly about what could stop the initiative and what support we actually need. This was a real AHA for all of us. It became a trust-creating conversation rather than another project-status discussion. The idea came directly from the change session.

The change strategy session was a worthy investment of my time. I left with practical tools, a clearer initiative, and concrete next steps.

Today was filled with great energy and support for getting a real change over the finish line. Change is not a project, as Adriano says. I worked through the cost fo Not-Changing Report, and identified the talking points and the allies I need. My home team is on board. I’m feeling like I’ve got this - the first initiative, but definitely not the last.

The Charter and the distinction between past/present/future are game-changers for how I approach change with my business and clients. I loved the High-Flame Change Coaching!!!

Excellent virtual session. Great to step back and test the initiative before rushing further into execution. The Change Feasibility Check exposed assumptions I hadn’t questioned, and the 30-60-100 plan helped translate the discussion into concrete action. I’m already looking differently at what my next move should be.

The First Ally planning tool was simple and helpful. Setting realistic priorities is a huge part of making change happen. Identifying actions that I’m actually prepared to take and that have the potential for high impact helped me find some immediate, low-hanging fruit. Thanks!

A couple of huge Aha moments from the Feasibility Check and the Change Coaching! Absolutely worth the time and energy. Thank you!
