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 |
No-BS OKRs + Career Fulfillment for Rebelutionary Leaders and Thinkydoers

Hi Reader, For some of you reading, this week may be business as usual. For the rest of us, this week in American politics marks a significant shift in the landscape we operate in. You may be reeling with fear or uncertainty about the implications for your life and work. Frankly, I'm in the second camp. To be prepared for any outcome, I'd architected two different business plans for the last several months: One based on business as usual, And another based on the potential for significant...
Hi Reader, I have a favor to ask: I'm developing theories about how people in a specific role type might self-identify. It's tricky, because there are a bunch of disciplines and role types that these folks are found in, so this is a more psychographic question than demographic. Is this you (at work)(or someone you know or work with)?β¨ Your role is a mix of air traffic control, people-ing, strategy support and thought partnership, and rolling up your sleeves and getting it done (and...
Hi Reader, Happy Tuesday! We're in week three of this eight-week Goal Fridays series, so join me live this Friday on YouTube or LinkedIn for one of my spicier topics: π€ Don't Start with an OKR Platform: And What to Do Instead OKR platforms for sure have their place (and employ some of my favorite humans, and a lot of the strong talent in the field). But I don't recommend starting your OKR implementation or reboot with an OKR platform, and you'll find out why this Friday at 9am Pacific / Noon...
