Finally, my newsletter is going live, next Tuesday! If you subscribe, on July 16th, 2024, you'll get the first email of my newsletter - The Silent Innovator. 🎉 In it, you’ll find content on innovation, UX Research and Design, Workshops, and Facilitation. Sometimes, I might share my personal stories as well! I’ll mostly share content on the innovation techniques (workshops, sprints, etc.) and methodologies (design thinking, lean, etc.) and try to show you how you can apply them in your everyday work or even life. Little more than a month ago, I started my journey as a solo Product Strategist, Workshopper, UX Researcher & Designer. Unfortunately, all the things I wanted to work on were not achievable while working a full-time job - writing a newsletter is one of them. So, follow me to learn with me, to see the ups and downs, dos and don'ts. Hopefully, you’ll find value in my content. 🙌 You can subscribe by hitting the link under my name!

Key Person of Influence is Daniel Priestly’s best known book and a masterclass in how to become a lead magnet. He says it’s simply not enough to say your a “Workshop Facilitator” even “Workshop Facilitator for corporations” is not enough. He says in a world where it’s now easy to reach your niche through social networks you have to niche down and then own that niche. To the example above an effective niche would be “Workshop Facilitator for data divisions in top 500 sustainable corporations” would be a good example of a niche you could own. What’s your niche? What do you own? For myself I’ve moved from “Helping corporates do good” to “Helping early stage technology startups design better products faster with design sprint.” This still could be improved to be industry specific e.g. travel or food but is good enough to get started
