Hey Reader, I'm working hard to drum up an awesome cohort for the No-BS OKRs session that's now open, and things are off to a good start! I have heard from more folks than usual this time around about barriers to participation in this cohort, and the last thing I want is for barriers to stop you -- the whole point of moving No-BS OKRs to my own platform is to reduce barriers. So let's cut to the chase: π If you'd like to participate but can't join live, π¬ If budget is the issue, please let me know? π₯ And, if you're a leader or Learning & Development pro purchasing for a group or team, I can share a different checkout path with you to bring the price down depending on the number of people you're registering, so drop me a quick reply. π If now's just not the time, π So, how about some free support?
There's no way to RSVP on Instagram, just tune in to my @saralobkovich live channel at 9am each day and hopefully all the technology works! If we aren't winning, we're learning, right? π€£ Alright -- I hope to see some of you later this morning or tomorrow -- and then even more of you in the No-BS OKRs classroom! P.S. The No-BS OKRs Workbook pre-release version went to final edit on Monday ... so we are on track for it to be available for digital purchase before month end! No-BS OKRs participants will be the first to hear, since they'll get a free copy as soon as it's available, but mailing list subscribers will be next in line -- so watch your mailbox next week for an update. Then all this quarterly reset stuff will calm down, and we can all get to work on achieving our Q2 goals! β β β |

Hey Reader, I've missed a couple weeks of newsletters because I've been so head down with projects that my hermit tendencies have won out lately, but now there's actually quite a bit of news to catch you up on, about what to expect in the next few months! But first: I hope your Q2 is off to a strong start! My next statement is not meant to induce anxiety, it's just a statement of fact: As of today, 2024 is approximately 31.51% over: which means you've got 68.49% of the year left to achieve...

Hey Reader, Feedback on the original No-BS OKRs workshop has yielded an unexpected recurring theme: "People who know nothing about OKRs need to hear about this." It got me to thinking about the questions friends and family ask, curiously, as they've watched my career evolve. The two most frequent are some variation of: "WTF are OKRs?" and "Why the *bleep* are you so far down this rabbithole?" If you're reading this, you're probably already down the rabbithole with me π ... But I decided this...
