You Are A Strategist:

Use No-BS Objectives and Key Results to Get Big Things Done

A playbook to help rebels and dedicated changemakers increase their impact by learning an efficient, effective method for connecting strategy through to goal-exceeding implementation.

There's no clear guide for how to rally  others to support your vision for change.

ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH…

  • A work culture that cares more about looking good than really getting better, preventing you from trying new and improved ways of doing things?

  • Being a leader who is always busy but still not achieving the most important goals?

  • Always dealing with urgent issues and wishing you could focus on more important, rewarding work?

  • Being an employee who feels lost because what counts as success keeps changing and you don’t know what’s expected of you?

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

  • Wanting your organization to work better together and be more strategic but not knowing how to start?

Every changemaker deserves a clear path to impact.

Empower Change

Skip the chaos and dive straight into effective, impactful strategic alignment and goal-setting.

Boost Innovation

Foster a culture that values experimentation and creative solutions.

Quantify Success

Learn to measure change impact way beyond financial metrics.

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.

Here’s how the approach you’ll learn in these pages is unique:

  • It's Born from Real Challenges: Developed to solve the challenges I faced, making it more effective and relatable.

  • Promotes Equity and Inclusivity: Crafted to level the playing field in corporate settings, reducing biases.

  • Scientifically Robust: A blend of insights from various fields, ensuring a method that's as effective as it is innovative.

I firmly believe in the power of this approach to developing a strategic plan, and No-BS Objectives and Key Results, to not just set goals but to transform the very fabric of how we achieve them. With my 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 the traditional molds and pave the way for real, meaningful change.

“I finally feel confident about my ability to create 
outcomes that will lead to transformation” 

—Alyssa E

“I learned more about OKRs from you in a few hours than from reading books and research. Your style is simultaneously friendly, intelligent, sophisticated, and down-to-earth! Your course was a game-changer.”

- Theresa Stockdale

“Sara is an inspirational leader in OKRs – she was the fist person I ever heard talk about OKRs in such a non-corporatized, relatable-to-anything way. If you’re interested in OKRs, impacted by job market volatility, or just curious about OKRs in general, I can’t recommend attending anything she hosts enough!”

- Megan Decker

Don’t get trapped constantly putting out fires, and miss out on making the changes you know could truly impact the world.

Together, let's streamline your approach to strategy, and clarify your objectives and target impacts so you can focus on creating meaningful, lasting change. Let’s ask and answer the question:

“What could it mean to succeed wildly?”
