Hi Reader, I've been a day off all week this week, so in keeping with that trend, I'm sending this week's newsletter earlier than usual to let you know about an opportunity to see or participate in OKR coaching in action this Friday: ✨ What: LIVE (free) OKR coaching spot-coaching sessions ✨ Who is this for? Volunteer "clients" who want help creating an Objective or Key Result for their company, team, or group ✨ Where: Live on LinkedIn ✨ When: This Friday, 9am Pacific/12pm Eastern ✨ RSVP here: https://findrc.co/jul26live (and if you would like to volunteer as a client, reply here or message me on LinkedIn!) Why am I doing this? Aside from thinking this is going to be fun 🤣... I need to gather example coaching sessions for my upcoming Coaching No-BS OKRs workshop, and I would love to have some examples from both people in my existing network and also some folks who are brand new to this work with me. Would you like to volunteer as a "client?" Hit reply, and I'll save a spot for you! Want to just observe to see what No-BS OKR coaching looks like? You're welcome to join and observe. This event is going to be live on LinkedIn, but by participating, you're agreeing to the event's confidentiality and privacy stipulations, spelled out on the event page. Have colleagues or other folks in your network who might benefit from this? Share the LinkedIn post with them... the more the merrier! That's it for this week... I'm in the disoriented "which way is up" stage after completing my certification boards yesterday... I won't know results for 6-8 weeks, but pass or fail I am so grateful I decided to study up and take that exam this summer. The refresher on all of the skills I learned in my professional coach training about helping people create their own agenda and plans for achieving necessary behavior change has been incredible. So much of that learning is woven into the work I do every day; but being able to refresh my practices with evidence-based approaches to helping people change their behavior (and make it stick) has me a bit on fire right now. Because what good are goals, if we don't change our behavior in order to achieve them? I hope you have a great week... book cover reveal is postponed to next week partly because the news cycle is rather distracted this week... so I'll be back in your inbox next week with that big news!

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, 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...
