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: 🤔 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 Eastern if you join me for this Live event! Whether you're able to join live or not, I'd love to hear your questions about OKR tracking and management? Hit reply and shoot me your questions in advance, and I'll answer them during the Q&A portion (and make sure you get a link to the replay). RSVP via YouTube or LinkedIn (your preference!) and please share with colleagues who may be interested, and I'll see you there on Friday! P.S. If you want to subscribe to the full calendar of events each Friday from now until November 15th, you can skip the opt-in form and use this link to add them all to your calendar! After this week, here's what's up next:
For the ✨ dates, I am looking for volunteer "clients" -- so if you'd like a little free OKR coaching and support, hit reply and let me know! I make it painless and fun for participants, so drop me a note if you might be interested in being a "client" guest! |
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, 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)?✨ 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, I didn't get the reminder out this morning about today's Goal Friday ... I was too busy editing a bit of neuroscience into the content outline based on the book I just happened to be reading with my morning coffee this morning LOL ☝️ The irony of totally overthinking a Live about overthinking So in case you missed it, I will share edited-down, cleaned up versions of the event when we're able, but if you're in a rush, you can see the whole unedited live right now: via YouTube via...
