Learn how to efficiently set big, bold goals to help you focus on and achieve the most important change in your business or career.
Course overview
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) fight "we're doing a lot, but not achieving results" by quantifying measures of success and progress.
This short course skips the buzz + dogma around OKRs. You'll use our Evolutionary OKRs™ framework to set your own measurable, useful OKRs.
01
Changemaker leaders and Thinkydoers™ teams, motivated to build a goal-aligned plan to achieve meaningful change and impact in your work
02
Chiefs of staff, business managers, and other strategic operators in organizations struggling with goal setting and achievement
03
Organizational and team leaders with big, bold goals who want to increase engagement, accountability, and ownership among your teams
OKRs are the source of a ton of buzz and confusion. At their core, OKRs are about writing clear, objective success and progress measures that help you know when you're "on track" or "off track." We focus especially on Key Results since they're the most unique part of the OKR.
Writing OKRs can be a circular, confusing, time-wasting wordsmithing exercise with endless discussion and not enough critical thinking and important decisionmaking. Our coaching practices keep you focused on what's most important.
Participants work with and learn the actual tools we use to coach our corporate clients (at $5k+ per workshop) so you can skip the consultant and draft your own goals faster and with more ownership.
We focus on OKRs on a page to avoid the "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist" phenomenon that affects other forms of strategic planning and expectation communication. You'll write and refine your OKRs quickly, so you can do what's ultimately most important: achieve your goals.

Goals and motivation often comes up in class -- here's an excerpt from one of the people leader trainings I host (including the notes!) with some of the Motivation Science research notes I mentioned. The short version:
Available research shows that setting the highest and most difficult goals produces the highest levels of effort and performance (mostly through extending duration toward goal achievement -- not necessarily intensity). Locke & Latham are the grandfathers of this research, still relied upon today.

*TLDR = "Too Long Didn't Read"
OKR Coach, Principal Consultant, Creator of Evolutionary OKRs™ for Connected Strategic™ Organizations
Early in my career, I struggled to understand unspoken and shifting organizational expectations, and the moving goal posts of "success," which often seemed arbitrary or out of reach. As a senior executive, that tension grew. I found myself in new compression zones between our annual plan and my team, with strategic plans and implementation activities that weren't aligned.
These experiences led me to the practice of OKRs -- Objectives and Key Results -- which help fill the alignment and clarity gap between durable strategies and implementation plans. The excitement around OKRs is huge: but the lack of coherent practical application information available was a barrier. So I created a coherent, useful, and intuitive approach to connecting strategy to execution through the Connected Strategic Stack, and a unique approach to Evolutionary OKRs for change-making organizations where people matter.
9-10:30am PST (12-1:30pm EST)
We'll begin day 1 with a look back at our learnings from 2023, then we'll dive right into our "Big Think" to lay the foundation for goal-setting.
9-10:30am PST (12-1:30pm EST)
Each class has a short skill-building portion, a demo or example of what we're going to practice that day, then a small group or independent drafting session with coach support. Each session ends with an open debrief, Q&A, and a no-pressure work share to unstick progress.
Time TBD
On Thursday we'll have a one-hour "Office Hours" session, for open time to work on your Objectives if needed. Sara will be available for chat-based Q&A, so this is a great opportunity to ask questions about your specific environment!
9-10:30am PST (12-1:30pm EST)
During this session we'll create objectively measurable Key Results, including learning how to identify measures of progress and success in hard to measure parts of the business.
Time TBD
We'll have one more "Office Hours" session during week 2, for open time to work on your Key Results if needed. Sara will be available for chat-based Q&A, so this is a great opportunity to ask questions!
9-10:30am PST (12-1:30pm EST)
On our last day of class, we'll talk about how to shift our OKRs from idea to implementation, and we'll have our final Q&A session!
