🎉Get Started With No-BS OKRs for Only $49 and Shop the Summer Sale!🎉


Hi Reader,

I looked at the calendar last week and realized:

August 15th -- the date I open my books to corporate clients in preparation for annual reset season -- is literally right around the corner.

So before I re-open to large orgs, I want to get ✨as many smaller clients as possible✨ on the books – so am running a Summer Sale to help make that possible!


Today's drop is the big new news:

I am super excited to share my Get Started With No-BS OKRs course with you... for only $49
(a $50 discount off the regular introductory price).

If you've been waiting for a two-digit price to begin your No-BS OKRs learning, now is the time.

Here's a peek at what you get (or, go straight here for more information):

"What else is on sale?"

✅ $500 off on Coaching No-BS OKRs

Time is running out to apply for this month's Coaching No-BS OKRs. This workshop is the only way to train in No-BS OKR Coaching before the 2025 annual reset season. This $500 off sale extends the early-bird pricing, but only until tomorrow (Friday)!

✅ Unblock Your Inner Strategist for $100 off (with an installment payment option)

Want a year's worth of access to No-BS OKRs support -- directly with me -- for less than $1,000? That's my Unblock Your Inner Strategist program. Right now during the summer sale, I'm knocking $1k off the price, so it's only $899 for a year worth of asynchronous and live online group support with me (and I've added an installment payment plan with no markup to make it even easier to participate).

⏳What's next?

  • Tomorrow, I'm re-opening my books for applications for a very limited number of 1:1 individual coaching engagements (the offers aren't yet live, but you can learn more about my individual coaching practice here).
  • And next week, I'm announcing discounted pricing for smaller organizations on my OKR Get Started services packages, including an "OKRs-in-a-Box" option that includes training, coaching, and playbook support to help you start (or restart) an OKR implementation with confidence and a proven, solid playbook.

🤔 "What do you mean when you say “smaller?”"

During annual reset season, I have a five-figure minimum for coaching engagements, which is typically only in reach for large enterprises (typically 1,000+ employees).

I’m running this summer sale to make sure that my:

✨Individuals looking for professional and career development;
✨Non-profit and Public Sector folks;
✨Solopreneur and Startup peeps;
✨Small and Mid-size Business (SMBs, <500 employees); and
✨Small Enterprise (500-1000 employees);

have access to useful, results-focused strategic planning support and skill-building.

🤔 "Who are these offers designed for?"

YOU, Reader. This year, you get first dibs (and discounts) because I want to make sure you have the support you need with your goal setting and attainment efforts -- no matter what your organizational size is.

And large Enterprise friends: there's nothing to stop you from participating too -- you're welcome to join individually, or reach out if you would like information about a private cohort for any of these offers.

Hit reply with any questions you have, and this is a public sale, so feel free to share with colleagues or others in your life who may be interested!


Thank you so much for being part of this mission and movement. I'll be back in your inbox next week with a more "normal" newsletter issue!

This isn't my typical P.S. and won't be for everyone, but I made a little TikTok last night and if you need a little well-being check, here you go.

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

I help changemaker leaders, teams, and other Thinkydoers understand their strengths, increase their quantifiable impact, and become fulfilled in their careers (without masking or mind-reading). My "how?" Accessible, efficient approaches to strategy creation, alignment, and operationalizing for goal achievement, with a special focus on Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). The approaches I coach and teach today build on well-honed expertise leading adult learning, instructional design, marketing, creative strategy and strategic operations at some of the world’s largest enterprises, and in public sector and political roles. In my individual coaching work via Thinkydoers, I help people who are "wired differently" (or otherwise "not from Leadership Central Casting") build authentic, rewarding careers as the leaders of change our world needs today. When not working with Red Currant Collective, my "other life" is in professional motorcycle racing. 🏍️

Hi Reader, THANK YOU for clicking through to the Reader Survey! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts -- the feedback I'm getting is so fascinating to me that after I wrap it up next week I'll share a few highlights. I don't know about you, but this week after Labor Day here in the US always flies by like a blink. And when I get back to work on this upcoming Monday, I get my last hurrah on 2024 as we move into the Q3/Q4 learning review and reset. Typically we do our learning review...

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: 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...
