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
An essential, no-BS understanding of OKRs (and especially Key Results)
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.
Key coaching and self-coaching questions to keep you unblocked
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.
Mastery of our OKR Mad Libs One-Sheet and other quick references
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.
You'll leave with useful, clear, measurable OKRs on a single page
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.

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.
2 weeks, 4 live classes, asynch friendly
Day 1: Welcome!
9-10:30am PT (12-1:30pm ET)
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.
Day 2: Objective Forming
9-10:30am PT (12-1:30pm ET)
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.
Day 3: Body Doubling + chat Q&A
9-10:30am PT (12-1:30pm ET)
On Day 3 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!
Day 4: Key Result Forming
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.
Day 5: Body Doubling + chat Q&A
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!
Day 6: Implementation + Graduation!
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!
