OKR Speaking & Events
That Drive Actual Change
Strategy Rebel, OKR Coach, and Career Fulfillment Activist Sara Lobkovich now booking 2024/2025 speaking engagements!
Hear from past event organizers and participants:
-
"Pre-event communication was excellent. It felt like Sara and her team were taking the time to get to know our group and organization, and craft the experience to meet our neets (rather than just do an out-of-the-box presentation)."
Event Host, Technology Enterprise
-
"I loved the authenticity of Sara's presentation and way of educating. OKRs can be quite daunting since a lot of our work is difficult to measure, and by focusing on the personal benefits of OKRs I think some of the team's concerns were addressed. The Q&A throughout was also great, and created a sense of trust with the group from the start."
Event Host, Developer Relations Team
-
"Sara is an excellent facilitator who kept a diverse group on point and aligned to common strategic objectives. She also very clearly became an expert in our business objectives which distinguished her from all other consultants I've personally worked with."
Event Participant, EdTech Vice President

FAQ:
How do we ensure a successful OKR speaking event?
A successful OKR (Objectives and Key Results) speaking event hinges on several key factors that ensure the audience leaves not only inspired but also equipped to implement meaningful changes.
Clear and Engaging Content
The foundation of any impactful speaking event is clear, engaging content. With years of experience in a wide range of industries, we break down complex OKR concepts into digestible, actionable insights. Using real-world examples and case studies we illustrate how OKRs drive strategic success in relevant contexts.
Practical Takeaways
Attendees leave with practical takeaways they can immediately apply within their organizations. This includes specific strategies for setting effective OKRs, common pitfalls to avoid, and tools or frameworks that can aid in the implementation process. Handouts and digital resources reinforce these takeaways.
Interactive Elements
Incorporating interactive elements such as Q&A sessions, workshop practice time, and/or group discussions significantly enhance the learning experience. These elements allow attendees to engage with the material, ask questions, and discuss how the concepts apply to their unique situations.
Inspirational and Action-Oriented Messaging
We aim to blend inspiration and action. Sara emphasizes the tangible benefits of OKRs and new approaches to strategic planning, including the benefits for line staff, not just leaderships’ reasons for making changes. We call our approach “No-BS” for a reason: it’s pragmatic, treats adults like adults, and helps participants align their individual motivation with their organization’s needs for a win/win.
Follow-Up Support Is Available
Ongoing Office Hours, Live Q&A, and/or Core Team support is available; as is access to our other trainings and communities for participants who wish to dive deeper into learning the No-BS OKRs practice.
Authenticity and Expertise
Sara’s experience touches 2,000+ OKR practitioners in 300+ organizations globally. She’s the author of two upcoming books in the Objectives and Key Results, and, accessible strategy spaces. She brings a wealth of knowledge and practical insights that empower teams to create and achieve their goals with clarity and confidence.
With a No-BS, highly skilled, charismatic speaker like Sara Lobkovich, an OKR speaking event can drive real change, leaving attendees excited and ready to implement strategies that enhance their organization’s strategic achievement.
“Sara is an inspirational leader in OKRs. She was the first person I ever heard talk about OKRs in such a non-corporatized, relatable-to-anything way.”
-M. Decker, via LinkedIn Post

Putting OKRs into action but feeling confused and looking for a simpler, more effective way to do it?
