COURSE OVERVIEW
Learn our simple No BS OKR approach to create OKRs that you and your team will actually use
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) help us quantify our most important measures of success and progress. This hybrid workshop blends self-paced asynchronous learning, with live practice sessions with instructor support and feedback, and peer community support, to help you learn our No-BS OKRs™ framework by doing. You’ll create your own useful, measurable OKRs; at an unmatched value compared to live training and/or OKR coaching and consulting services!
A quick sneak peek at our workshop portal, with desktop and convenient mobile app access!
Who this course is for:
-
We’ll help you build a strategically-aligned set of OKRs to achieve transformation, innovation, growth, and impact in your work.
-
You may have been handed a copy of Measure What Matters and asked to make it happen. If so, what you learn here will serve as a huge shortcut around the critical words and meanings of OKRs, and help you accelerate your own learning for creating (and evaluating) OKRs.
-
If you’re facing big commitments and challenges, and need help increasing expectation clarity, engagement, accountability, and ownership among your colleagues, what you learn in this class with help.
Hear from our participants:

Sara was excellent! The course did a great job of everything from high level explanations to answering detailed questions. OKRs can be a complex topic with a lot of room for interpretation, but Sara's approach is by far the best I've seen, and she provides excellent tools to be able to enact her way in any size organization.
Rory Hibb, Feed.fm

My current role is more at the initiative level rather than the organizational OKR level but being able to understand how these OKRs are constructed so that I can breakdown into concrete initiatives has demystified the entire approach for me. You don't need a "C" in your title to operate like someone who does, and this course was a great introduction for me into that way of thinking.
Jim Wyatt, Pearson

This course set forth a clear and actionable framework for setting up OKRs that can truly mean something to your team, and provide the clarity for how we proceed. Sara was intentional, listened to each person, and shared techniques relevant to each person's individual needs around setting OKRs. This course unblocked me from a process that's been a struggle trying to implement from books and online articles for the last year. And, she was lovely and made it a joy!

No-BS OKRs Workshop FAQs
-
That’s TOTALLY okay! The live sessions are all recorded in full length, so you can replay them and still complete the exercises exactly as if you were live — just on the schedule that works for you! Live instructor feedback and Q&A takes place during the live session, so if you would like to be sure you get 1:1 feedback from Sara and are participating asynchronously, consider the VIP upgrade. That gives you asynchronous chat Q&A (with Loom video responses, when helpful) during the cohort window (from March 11 through the end of April), a 1:1 with Sara, and personal feedback on your draft OKRs.
-
Refunds are available prior to downloading or viewing course material beyond the “What are OKRs” section (so, before exercises begin); and up to 2 business days prior to the first live session. Contact hello@redcurrantco.com with any questions about our refund policy. If you have any concerns about whether this course is right for you, reach out to us before registering and we’ll answer any questions you have to ensure you’re confident about your purchase prior to checkout!

General registration includes community-based Q&A support, monitored and replied to by Sara (personally), with TAs and her team contributing links or references to answers that Sara has already provided an answer to. You’ll also have the option for live Q&A and feedback on your work during the working session portions of the Live class.
VIP registrants have access to a 1:1 coaching session with Sara, as well as the ability to ask questions asynchronously and receive a written or Loom (video) reply (depending on the question). VIP registrants also receive direct, individualized feedback on their work in progress OKRs, directly from Sara.

All participants agree to confidentiality, and, our IP acknowledgment and agreement includes some information about how to protect and preserve your confidential information. If you have specific concerns or special confidentiality circumstances, please email hello@redcurrantco.com and we’ll work with you to ensure you can fully participate, while maintaining confidentiality requirements.

Some lessons are video-based — when they are, videos are either subtitled or have closed-captioning available and a transcript is provided. Some course materials are made available via PDF: when so, we use Acrobat’s Accessibility Checker to ensure materials are as accessible as possible. If you have specific accessibility needs, please reach out to hello@redcurrantco.com and we’ll do our best to accommodate (or, be honest if we are presently unable to).
