The No-BS OKRs Fundamentals Private Podcast
Cut through the noise. Get the truth about what actually works in real-world OKR implementation.
This OKR podcast skips the theory and hype and get implementation insights from Sara Lobkovich, a strategy facilitator and OKR coach who’s trained 2,000+ OKR coaches in 300+ organizations globally.
Most OKR advice is either too fluffy to act on or too rigid to apply in the messy middle of real organizations.
That leaves Chiefs of Staff, Program Managers, and strategy operators like you stuck with:
Endless debates about goal-setting instead of making progress
Confusion about OKRs vs. KPIs and when to use which
Pressure to align teams without clear frameworks (and no authority to back it up)
The same “fixes” recycled that don’t actually solve root problems
You don’t need another framework that looks great in a slide deck.
You need the truth about how OKRs succeed — and why they fail.
Skip the theory. Get straight to what works.
What You’ll Get Inside the Private Podcast

📊 Making OKRs and KPIs work together, even when things feel hard to measure
📚 Real-world case studies from organizations who’ve turned things around
