Frequently Asked Questions

  • Remote Kickoff — Best if you want live instruction for your team without travel

Not sure? Book a Q&A Call and we'll figure it out together.

What's the difference between the two Remote Kickoff workshops? +

Intro to OKRs + Rapid Self-Drafting focuses on "why OKRs work" and gives your team the skills to create their own OKRs. Best for teams new to OKRs.

Leading with OKRs focuses on how leaders use OKRs day-to-day — not just having them, but leading with them. Best for leadership teams who will be modeling OKR behavior for the organization.

Many organizations do both: Intro first, then Leading with OKRs for the leadership team.

Can we add materials for our whole team? +

Yes — all options except Self-Serve can have materials added for participants:

  • Full Self-Serve Materials: +$149/person
  • Book only: +$20/person
What if we realize we need more help after training? +

Many organizations start with DIY training and later engage for Done-with-You OKR Consulting when they're ready for expert guidance. Your training investment isn't wasted — it gives your team shared language and context that makes Done-with-You OKR Consulting more effective.

What's included in the OKR Review debrief? +

The 60-minute debrief is a live video call where we walk through the written feedback together. You can ask questions, discuss specific OKRs in detail, and get real-time guidance on how to strengthen them. Most clients find this is where the real learning happens.

What's the difference between DIY with Support and Done-with-You OKR Consulting? +

In both paths, you do the work. The difference is the level of guidance.

DIY with Support = You learn the methodology, then build your OKRs yourself. We provide training, frameworks, and feedback to keep you on track.

Done-with-You OKR Consulting = You build your OKRs with expert guidance — someone who's done this hundreds of times, helping you avoid the wrong turns. You still do the work, but you get it right faster.
