“The biggest thing I’m taking away from Strategy Signal is that I need to focus way less on being “an extra pair of hands” and way more on being a strategic partner for my clients”

"I use the Strategy Signal workshop with my nonprofit clients. They don't need month's of strategic planning, they need quick reorientation and a clear path forward. Strategy Signal does exactly that!"

“Strategy Signal is how I enter the system. I use it to decode misalignment, surface blindspots, and anchor clarity for my clients. It’s not just a workshop. It’s how I help teams design futures they can actually execute.”
ADRIANA LODOLO

Machinista I/O
"Strategy Signal helped me see that I don’t need to be just a helper in the background. I can lead. It’s helped me attract better clients who care about doing business the right way."

"I’ve facilitated strategy workshops before, but Strategy Signal brings simplicity and structure I didn’t know I was missing. The book shows exactly how to shift from being the ‘execution person’ to becoming a true strategic partner. "

"I´ve been working with strategy for companies for years, but only as a minor part of my work – as the operational part of helping clients has been the main priority. Strategy Signal has given me the final push going all in focusing on the strategy part!"

Hey, I'm Jonathan, CEO of AJ&Smart Studio (a product strategy consulting firm) and of Facilitator.com (a facilitation training company).
Like many consultants, I loved the idea of having a variety of clients and challenges to work on vs working for one company as an employee. But for years I struggled to really enjoy the work I was doing. I felt like I was always getting stuck in the "execution" work for clients vs the strategy work I wanted to be involved in.
About 7 years in, I discovered the beauty of Workshops, initially starting with the Design Sprint and then expanding to the broader world of "structured sessions". This discovery lead me to having higher day rates, more satisfied clients and more importantly: actually enjoying what I was doing in a sustainable way! Workshops allowed me to move from executing client work (which they saw as low value) to working with them to help them solve their most important challenges. I became a partner to them rather than a resource.
My new guide "Strategy Signal" is a really simple distillation of one of the most common workshops I run with my clients, and I hope you love running it as much as I do!
