Launch & grow a scalable strategy consultancy.
Insanely-detailed strategy consultant training for overthinkers who need more than just vague PDFs and third-person example videos.
Coupled with ongoing mentoring from an overthinktrovert who pivoted from a failing agency into pure strategy consulting.
What if I said that your business could fit your life instead of the other way around?
Ready to redirect your unique skills, experience, abilities, and expertise into your own high-value consulting business...
...but struggling to get past your imposter syndrome?
What if I don't know the answer? What if they don't get results? What results can I even offer? What if they don't believe I can help them? What if...? What if...?
Sound familiar? I get it.
If you're anything like me, it's tough to get past the "what if's" and actually launch your consulting business when you know it's going to be totally reliant on your abilities.
It's even tougher when you have a lot of experience, expertise, and education but, you just don't know what to consult on!
You know you've got a lot of value to give. You prove it every time someone close to you asks your advice.
But, it's a different story when you need to charge for it.
Gaining confidence.
We call it strategy consulting, but, in reality, we're about increasing confidence.
More confidence for you thanks to facilitating with step-by-step processes, structured timers, and in-depth scripts.
More confidence for your clients thanks to real business-building results based in strategy, data, and research.
More confidence in attainable revenue for your consultancy thanks to higher-priced, higher-value sprints.
More confidence for you to eliminate reliance on other people, equipment, and infrastructure — take your specialty, your knowledge, your insights, and your business wherever you go!
We did it the hard way.
When we switched to a strategy-first consultancy, we tried to keep the creative work and its associated revenue at the same time.
It took just one client to show why that wouldn't work for us!
We had assumed that our place as a valued partner would be solidified because we were performing the strategy for our clients.
But, even after being elevated to that level, when the strategy concluded and the project switched over to the creative deliverables, the client's attitude toward us, and treatment of us changed dramatically.
We were right back to being treated like order takers.
Today, we offer purely strategy in our consultancy. We won't even "project manage" a creative project on behalf of our clients.
Sure, we can consult, our experience is valuable, after all. But we won't accept the role of order-taker from a client ever again. We help our clients grow with strategy. That's all we do.
And we can show you how to do the same for your clients.
Strategy Consulting isn't Rocket Surgery.
It's research, logic & analysis.
Simpligy teaches overthinkers, introverts, and aspiring strategists the research techniques, facilitation skills, and leadership actions that turn variable client inputs into high-power, client-specific strategy.
You won't find our members stuck producing "deliverables," you'll find them adding value, clarifying business landscapes, and creating positive change for their clients.
How it works.
There's a lot of training that claims to teach you "how to be a consultant" but it's a whole different thing to know what you're consulting on. Simpligy provides you with everything you need to launch your successful strategy consultancy — including your consulting specialty.
Specialty
Sure you've got valuable experience, expertise, and insights, but how does that translate into a consulting specialty?
Designed by an overthinking introvert, we've removed all the guesswork from launching a strategy consulting business with specialized sprints deployable right across a business' lifecycle.
Choose one sprint to create a specialty or deploy all five and make yourself an indispensable strategy partner no matter where your client is in their business.
System
There’s something comforting and efficient about working with familiar patterns, especially for those of us who overthink everything.
But systems are about much more than comfort.
As a strategy consultant, it’s not enough to have a valuable methodology; you’ve also got to be able to repeat it in a way that saves your sanity while still guaranteeing a unique and successful output for the client.
What makes our system so powerful is our ability to run the same system with every client, while developing individual and unique outputs every time.
Not only does our repeatable system eliminate your overwhelm and fear, you are guaranteed to develop entirely unique and valuable results for your clients.
Scripts
We've all read the bullshit guidance from extroverts saying, "don't use a script, keep it fluid..."
That's great if your introverted mind is not actively trying to sabotage you! Let's do this in a way that it works for you.
Complete scripts for every part of each sprint are included, from intro's to exercises, answers to the questions you'll encounter, and even how to close out (no more awkward, 20-minute goodbyes!).
Use the scripts as you need them, lose them when you don't.
Software
Virtual sprints are a revelation for introverts, but getting them right means choosing the right platforms to both support and enhance your delivery.
We've assembled a suite of the most accessible and easy to use supporting apps and virtual collaboration platforms.
This app suite makes it simple for participants to join and participate, and has all the functionality to encourage engagement and collaboration while making facilitation easy, enjoyable, and foolproof for you.
Best of all, every license you'll need is available free.
Support
Introverts of the world unite! You know, separately, in your own homes. 😁
Seriously, though, choosing the right community is vital to your success. You need to surround yourself with people who understand introverted, overthinking entrepreneurs. People who actually get you.
Working among likeminded individuals offers you a safe, encouraging environment to collaborate, get help, practice facilitating, and make connections.
Whether you’re testing an exercise, tweaking your scripts, figuring out a niche, or you're just stuck, Simpligy's introvert-friendly community is here to help.

How to write your Brand's Onliness Statement.
There are lots and lots of articles titled, "how to write an onliness statement" but, in most cases, they just give you a list of examples. And, I think there's a good reason for the previous absence of real advice around this.
Unleashing the power of an onliness statement REQUIRES a purpose-driven brand.
And, most brands aren't really purpose-driven.
How to develop your SaaS Brand Positioning.
The first stage in a SaaS product’s lifecycle involves identifying a problem and how your SaaS provides a solution to the problem. So many SaaS companies focus only on the tech, developing a culture that doesn’t understand or believe that much in branding.
Luckily for you, most of your competitors think ‘branding’ is what’s happening to their company while they’re too busy adding new features, raising money or “growth-hacking.”
