About Me

68% of Managers lack confidence in their organization’s ability to manage complexity

Hi! I am Adriano Pianesi - Pianesi like a piano. This is my BIO, and I am here to help.

My superpower is to get you unstuck and find creative, fresh, new ideas to handle your strategic issues. I challenge complex problems with you. I support you as a bold change-maker willing to take on the status quo and do work that matters.

I have a track record of success and a unique mixture of elite leadership training, coaching experience, and time in the organizational trenches.

I have done it. I GET IT.

Why Work With Me

EXPERIENCES NOT POWERPOINTS

I facilitate deep change through immersive, hands-on experiences that help leaders and teams navigate complexity, drive innovation, and achieve tangible results in their fields.

FOCUS ON RESULTS

I provide practical tools and actionable insights that make complex ideas accessible, fostering immediate implementation of new strategies for growth and visible progress.

BACK TO YOUR BEST SELF

My work inspires your personal growth through an optimistic, forward-thinking, pragmatic approach that encourages courage, clarity, and quick action in addressing complex challenges.

How I Work with You

TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR CHALLENGE

01

Take the first step. I would love get to know you, share my approach and explore with you if we are a fit.

If we are, we can talk about your challenge. If I am not the right person for you, I might have someone in my extensive network who can help you. I would be happy to refer you.

02

PARTNER WITH ME TO WORK ON A VISION AND A PLAN

I will identify and work to turn your challenge into an opportunity for measurable progress.

Depending on what is a more helpful intervention to foster fresh, new perspectives, I might work with your team one-on-one or with the entire organization. I collect data, research your issue, talk with a few people, consider some best practices, and understand your environment and culture.

03

IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE WITHIN YOUR REACH

Discover your strenghts and get ready to be surprised.

We build capacity, then leave (our average engagements are 3-6 months.) What is it like to have the capacity and confidence to lead a new organization, to stop fighting fires, and to align stellar performance with crystal-clear purpose?

We have worked with
so many different organizations in:

  • Strategy/Innovation
  • Team Alignment
  • Leadership Transition
  • Organizational Change
  • Board Dysfunction

using this proven process.

Yes. If you are 110% committed to the process, we guarantee a transformation in how you experience your challenge, and in the results of our work. You’ll feel less anxious, more confident, and have a greater zest for life. And I ensure you that you will make sizable progress.

However, we can’t guarantee specific external outcomes like promotions or financial success. Our focus is on the internal and organizational transformation that often leads to these external successes over time.

Reflect on this: who would be proven wrong if you achieved success beyond your wildest dreams? Are you ready to commit fully?

We believe in building capacity, not dependency. Our approach is designed to empower you with the tools and insights needed for long-term success. Typically, our projects span 3-6 months, allowing for deep, transformative work without creating reliance.

We’re in and out, leaving you stronger, more capable, and ready to lead with confidence and clarity.
Yes, this is personalized service. Not what you would get from a big group (even if I have big group experience in my past).

This is like buying a suit: a custom-made suit fits you and you alone. Each and every stitch was threded with you in mind. Either you fit the jacket, or the jacket fits you. This will fit you.

How can a small business get it done for a large group like yours? I know this staff inside out. And I have four people helping me out. When I take a new client, I focus my attention on you, because I care, every ounce of my attention. If this work were beyond my capacity, abilities or past experience, I wouldn’t be throwing my hat, or waste your time, or mine.
