π₯ Drumroll please... it's book cover reveal time! π

Hi Reader, Yesterday, I (nearly) finished up my revisions for my book and shipped it back to my editor. I have one chapter left to write, a glossary to finish, and then it's into final edit! So what better day than today to share the cover art with you: β In 2021 I started writing down my practices around creating No-BS Objectives and Key Results so that I could more systematically iterate, improve, and teach them to others. That labor -- and a lot of hyperfocus, sweat, tears, and support from YOU -- has yielded two books making their print debut this fall, in time for the 2025 annual reset cycle. β I'll keep you posted on both books' progress, and if you'd like to support my efforts to get the word out about the books in the run-up to their release, π I'd love to have you on the pre-launch squad -- click here and I'll add you to the list! A huge thank you for the support that helped me get both books to where they are... now, we're in the home stretch! In other news this week...Last week's Free, Live, No-BS OKR Coaching Sessions went so great I'm doing it again this week. π RSVP for this week's free, live, No-BS OKR Coaching sessions via LinkedIn here and drop me a reply if you'd like to guarantee a slot as a "client..." last time I took volunteers live on the call, and expect to again this week! But if you want to make sure you get a slot, please let me know and I'll invite you to join via the presenter link instead of the public link. I can't wait to work with you in the upcoming Coaching No-BS OKRs workshop. These things are always more fun with a friend: feel free to pass along word to colleagues or contacts who might be interested that I've extended the early-bird sign-up window through July 31st (tomorrow). Let them know: now is the time to apply!β As always, thank you for the support, encouragement, and your fearlessness sharing your vision and goal-setting with me. I hope to see you on this week's Live, and I appreciate you helping get the word out! P.S. IF you're a social amplifier type, here are links to the book cover reveal announcements and your engagement and shares help a ton in getting this news in front of more people! Thank you in advance! β |

Hi Reader, THANK YOU for clicking through to the Reader Survey!
