Don't Go it Alone: Get live help with your quarterly review THIS Friday!
|
Hi Reader, I keep teasing it, but friends... it's officially here. The Q3/Q4 Quarterly Review and Reset season is fully upon us! You may have already gotten more notifications from the Circle.so community than you'd like as I set up the next few weeks of events and updates ... if so, you can log into community.saralobkovich.com and set up your notification preferences to only receive the notifications you prefer. And, if you'd like to share the word with your colleagues or network about this week's public live event, here's that link really quick: You can point folks to join via LinkedIn or YouTube -- the event will be simulcast on both, tech Gods willing -- so folks can RSVP at the links here to get reminders and add the event to their calendars: Later this week I've got the first part of another two-part podcast series with a truly incredible guest going live, and several podcast guest appearances of my own to share ... so I'll be back here on Thursday with a reminder about this week's Friday Live, and links to new content to help you end your week inspired! Speaking of inspired...Can you take a three minute break, step away from the screen, look out a window or close your eyes and ask yourself: 🤔 What one thing am I most excited to cross off my "to done" list this week?And then hit reply and tell me what it is? If you haven't heard me talk about the "to done" list ... instead of the mile-long never-ending "to do" list you carry around with you, the "to done" list is the very short list of things (usually 1-3) that you're going to get done this week so you can enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off the list. I love my "to done's" for focus and dopamine ... there's nothing like checking that "done!" box to give you a little boost. If you send me yours, I'll reply with mine, and then we can provide each other a little bit of kind, gentle, non-judgmental accountability in a check-in at the end of the week to see how we've done. Okay ... I hope to see you LIVE on Friday, and in the meantime, have a great week! P.S. My travels this weekend mean I haven't yet switched off the Reader Survey access ... I'm going to do the drawing for thank-you's for survey completers in the next few days ... so you may miss the window on the giveaways, but even if you do, I'd still love to hear your feedback, if you haven't already shared it! The feedback that's come in has been so incredibly valuable and helpful ... thank you so much for taking the time! |

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, 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...
