Actually-useful strategy for the real, messy world

Move strategy out of decks and docs and into the daily action of every person in your organization — with clear, practical frameworks that turn big goals into confident, collective action.

Proven results across industries

2,000+ coaches trained
300+ organizations served
96% positive feedback

I work with growing mid-market organizations (typically 200-2,000 employees) that are past the startup phase but not yet enterprise. You have real strategic complexity but can still move fast when you're aligned.

How it works

Step 1

Get Clear

Define what actually matters. Cut through the noise of competing priorities. Align on outcomes, not activities.

Step 2

Build the System

Create OKRs that connect vision to daily decisions. Not just goals — a system that drives behavior change.

Step 3

Change Behavior

Watch alignment compound. Less firefighting. More forward motion. Strategy that actually changes how people work.

Fortune 500 Case Study

The $50K Status Report Pageant

77 people. 4-hour meetings. Almost no honest conversation about what wasn't working. A Fortune 500 division had invested in OKR training — but their quarterly reviews were expensive theater.

Result: 4-hour meetings → 1 hour. 70% reduction. Real risks surfaced and addressed.

Sound familiar?

If you're a CEO
  • "We aligned on this in Q1 and nothing changed."
  • "Why do I have to keep re-explaining the strategy?"
  • "Our last consultant gave us a great framework. Nobody uses it."
  • "Everything is urgent. Nothing is moving."
If you're a Chief of Staff
  • "I'm accountable for outcomes I can't control."
  • "When I succeed, it looks like things just worked."
  • "I spend all my time translating between leadership and teams."
  • "Nobody will make the hard trade-offs."

You're not "not good enough." This is systemic. And it's fixable.

About Sara

Sara Lobkovich at a cafe table with colorful sticky notes, wearing a black blazer and teal top

I've spent 16+ years in executive leadership roles — Chief of Staff, VP of Strategy, Head of Operations. I've been the person trying to make strategy stick, and I've seen what works and what doesn't.

I created the No-BS OKRs methodology after watching too many smart organizations fail with generic, one-size-fits-all approaches. The methodology is direct, practical, and focused on behavior change — not just goal-setting theater.
