You've already tried the “best practices:”

  • Strategy sessions that result in ambitious plans but little action

  • Complicated goal-setting frameworks that confuse more than they clarify

  • You’ve read the books, and they get everybody excited, but don’t actually help you implement successfully

  • And you either have lots of data and little actual insight; or, have little data to inform decisions: you feel like you’re navigating uncharted territory without even a compass.

You’re not alone.

And you’re not as far from increased strategic achievement as it feels.

With our proven, No-BS OKRs playbook and learn-while-doing methods, your organization can confidently navigating toward your most important goals in a matter of hours or days, not months or years.

Do any of these sound familiar?

“Our employee satisfaction surveys show that people don’t know how their work connects to our strategic priorities. People don’t know how, or whether, their work matters.”

“As a leader, I’m overwhelmed by information, unmet needs, conflicts, and waste — but the volume, and urgency is so high, I can’t stop and think — I don’t know how to fix it.”

“It’s a coin toss whether we hit or miss our goals. Our status reports are green all quarter, and then revenue comes in significantly below target. We need more measurable views of our progress and risks, earlier.”

“We’re doing a LOT, but I’m not sure it’s translating into impact. We need to do less, better. I’m not sure that what we’re doing even makes sense.”

If so, you’ve found the right place to reboot.

Every Changemaker deserves a clear path to impact: Including you.

Empower Change

Skip the chaos and dive straight into effective, impactful, goal-setting.

Boost Innovation

Foster a culture that values experimentation and creative solutions.

Quantify Success

Learn to measure change impact beyond financial metrics.

Your strategy and big goals are too important to fail,
but trying to inspire people to support your vision is exhausting.

I know you want to be an influential changemaker who not only dreams of a better future, but actively shapes it. To do this, you need a playbook that brings clarity to your vision, tracks your progress, and aligns others to your cause — because true change is never a solo effort.

The problem is, traditional business strategies and goal-setting methodologies are often more about lofty concepts than practical application. They assume a level of privilege and power that not all possess, leaving you feeling stranded in your desire for impactful change.

I believe that every changemaker deserves tools that are theoretically sound and practically effective. That's why I’ve made it my mission to develop an OKR approach that drives human-centered business results. This approach enhances organizational growth, fosters a culture of trust and safety, and nurtures a mindset of continuous learning and balance.

How No-BS OKRs and my methods are unique:

  • They were born from real challenges. The approaches to modernized, simplified strategic planning and No-BS OKRs I work with today were developed to solve the challenges I faced as an executive and executive coach, making them effective and relatable.

  • Scientifically robust. A blend of insights from various fields ensure a method that’s as effective and science-based as it is innovative.

  • Strategy and goal-setting get you nowhere without behavior change. Among my multidisciplinary training and experience, I’m a professional coach with special training in facilitating behavior change. This expertise helps ensure you and your organization actually achieve what you set out to.

I firmly believe in the power of No-BS OKRs to not just efficiently create clear, focused, aligned goals; but, to transform the very fabric of how we achieve them. With this unique method, you’ll not only reach your goals but do so in a way that’s rewarding, impactful, and genuinely transformative.

Let’s break free from traditional approaches to goal-setting and achievement — many of which run counter to much of what we know about the science of motivation — and pave the way for real, meaningful change.
