Real People, Real Stories: OKR Coach and Specialist Jason Johnston on Career Sustainability (Thinkydoers Ep. 18)
Establishing clear objectives and key results (OKRs) isn't just about direction and accountability. It’s about driving real change within organizations. Today’s episode kicks off our two-part conversation with the wonderful Jason Johnston, OKR Practice Lead for Genetec, a leading tech company in the security products and solutions space. Jason is also a veteran whose 20-year military career has given him a unique perspective on leadership and problem-solving.
Serendipity
Communication, conflict, behavior, justice, equity, ideation, creative fuel, energy, rest, and the reality that we’re all humans doing what we can with what we have where we are. This is where our life and work intersect, and where you’ll find occasional recaps and round-ups of the serendipity in the work (and lives) we do (and live).
Are your goals setting you up for success—or for overwhelm?
Most people set goals by creating to-do lists and activity plans. But tasks alone won’t get you there. Real progress comes when you focus on measurable outcomes—not just actions.
That’s where OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) shine. They help you navigate uncertain territory, experiment, and focus on what matters most. Instead of getting stuck on all-or-nothing thinking, OKRs encourage curiosity and continuous learning, so you can adapt, improve, and achieve results that count.
