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.

WTF are OKRs?
This is the question I get asked more than any other by people in my life outside of work, followed immediately by:
“… and why do you care about them so much?”
So this week, I sat down to answer those questions in a new video and resource guide for people who AREN’T OKR experts, who have had bad experiences with OKRs in the past, or who don’t even know what the three-letter-acronym stands for.
And I also included a few of our most valuable one-page cheat sheets that even experienced OKR practitioners might find helpful!

No-BS OKR Coaching and Leader Development for Connected Strategic™ Organizations
Are you struggling to solve for:
Improving organizational accountability and ownership in your leadership and/or labor ranks?
Employees struggling to understand what’s important, and how their work matters?
Attrition among high-performers due to frustration, lack of growth and development opportunity, and slow rates of innovation and change?
Honest, measurable visibility into progress, with early warnings when there is trouble ahead, instead of wishful thinking?
Increasing signal of internal communication and reducing noise?
“Watermelon” quarters, where status reports are green all quarter and then the organization is red on most important measures of success?
We can help.
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, start with the No-BS OKRs Workbook today.
Call us when:
You’re rolling up your sleeves to leap into a righteous fight (or, see one coming and want to plan ahead).
You’re in the thick of transformation and change, and crave thought partnership, conflict support and expert facilitation to help smooth the way forward.
You may be wrestling with overwhelm — too much information, too many ideas — and not enough insight.
