I actually had to do that. I had to get emotional about AI before I could use it well. And it's simply because it is a very different tool. It is not going to do what you always expect. And so, for that reason, you need to get your own emotional house in order with it before you can start using it." – Dvorah Graeser (00:20:00)Guest InformationDvorah Graeser is an AI ethicist, strategist, and technology entrepreneur specializing in AI applications, intellectual property, and ethical AI adoption.

This isn’t a participation trophy—what matters is understanding how the work contributes to the bigger strategy." – Natalie Webb"If you tie OKRs directly to performance evaluations, you create a system where people set safe goals instead of ambitious ones.

Ever feel lost in the alphabet soup of goal-setting frameworks?Whether you're a leader, a coach, or a goal-setting enthusiast, navigating between SMART goals, KPIs, OKRs, and other frameworks can feel overwhelming.In this episode, Sara Lobkovich – strategist, OKR coach, and nationally board-certified health and wellness coach (with “another life” in professional motorcycle road racing) – gives you the inside scoop on the most popular frameworks. Through easy-to-understand examples from the worlds of health and sports, Sara breaks down when and how to use each framework to drive success.You'll leave with a clear understanding of what each framework truly means, how they differ, and which one to use to turbocharge your personal or professional goals.Want to watch the full-length replay of the Live this episode is drawn from? It’s on YouTube!Episode Highlights:Clear explanation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and why they're indicators, not goalsDeep dive into SMART goals and their practical applications How OKRs differ from other frameworks for handling uncertainty and innovationUnderstanding mandatory vs. stretch goalsReal-world examples using health and sports metricsIntroduction to additional frameworks like BSC (Balanced Scorecard) and ROB (Rhythm of Business)Key Concepts Covered:Activity Goals vs. Outcome GoalsKPIs as health indicators for your businessThe limitations of SMART goalsWhen and how to use mandatory goalsThe power of OKRs for uncertain territory Building a holistic performance dashboardCreating effective rhythms of businessEpisode Chapters[00:00] Introduction to Thinkydoer Shorts[00:43] Sara's Dual Life: Business and Racing[01:12] Goal Fridays and Live Replays[02:59] Decoding Goal-Setting Acronyms[07:38] Activity Goals: The Basics[09:02] KPIs: Key Performance Indicators (and KPIs vs. OKRs)[11:32] SMART Goals: Specific and Measurable[15:52] Mandatory Goals vs. Stretch Goals[18:20] OKRs and Other Goal-Setting FrameworksNotable Quotes:"KPIs are indicators, not goals - it's right there in the name." "SMART goals are helpful because they are specific. They do give us something to aim for.   The challenge with SMART goals, and we're going to talk about mandatories in just a minute, is with SMART goals, It's a little too easy to set that goal and then have our all-or-nothing thinking take over with our behavior."" And quantifying activity is great.

But doing something a certain number of times won't necessarily yield the outcome you need.""The Objective is like a tiny love letter from your idealistic 'you' to your future 'you' that's going to get frustrated and challenged.""Your Rhythm of Business (ROB) is all of the things that make up the culture of performance in your work.

Ep 34: Why You Shouldn't Start with an OKR Tool (Yet)

Thinking about implementing OKRs? Your first instinct might be to shop for an OKR tool - but that could be setting yourself up for failure. In this candid Thinkydoers Short, strategy coach Sara Lobkovich explains why starting with software often backfires, and shares a proven alternative with a methodology-focused approach that will set your organization up for long-term OKR success.Episode Highlights:Common pitfalls of taking a tool-first approach to OKR implementationWhy methodology must come before softwareHow to track OKRs effectively without specialized toolsA practical timeline for OKR implementation that sets you up for successSigns that your organization is actually ready for an OKR toolKey Takeaways:Tools alone don't solve the core challenges of implementing OKRsStart with company-level OKRs and establish strong methodology before scalingSimple tracking methods like spreadsheets can work well in early stagesLet organizational demand drive tool adoption rather than forcing itFocus on behavior change and culture shifts before investing in softwareNotable Quotes:“ People need an OKR process that isn't yucky. If it's yucky, then they're going to do all sorts of work for a process that might generate a pretty dashboard for the leaders. But we want people to love our OKR implementations. We want people -- not just leaders -- to see the benefit of OKR implementations.”"We want to focus on Objectives and Key Results as continuous learning, and we want to keep our tools and ops simple.""We let folks struggle until they're suffering with the lack of software, and then that makes our software adoption so much more successful.""What's ultimately most important is that leaders need objective information to make decisions."Episode Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Thinkydoer Shorts[00:43] Sara's Dual Life: Business and Racing[01:12] Goal Fridays and Live Replays[02:59] Decoding Goal-Setting Acronyms[07:38] Activity Goals: The Basics[09:02] KPIs: Key Performance Indicators (and KPIs vs. OKRs)[11:32] SMART Goals: Specific and Measurable[15:52] Mandatory Goals vs. Stretch Goals[18:20] OKRs and Other Goal-Setting FrameworksResources Mentioned:Get the No-BS OKRs Workbook ($19): https://saralobkovich.com/no-bs-okrs-workbook-pdfInfo about the upcoming print version of the No-BS OKRs Workbook & Sara's forthcoming book: "You Are a Strategist: Use No-BS Objectives and Key Results to Get Big Things Done" is available at https://youareastrategist.com Other Free No-BS OKRs Resources: Access all free resourcesThinkydoers (not-just-an OKR podcast) Home Page: https://saralobkovich.com/thinkydoers-podConnect with Sara:Newsletter: findrc.co/newsletterContact: findrc.co/contactEmail Sara at hello@redcurrantco.comSocial Media: @saralobkovich most everywhere!Mentioned in this episode:Don't forget: Get your free No-BS OKRs Workbook or schedule a VIP Strategy Day!Before I let you go, I just wanna remind you, you can pick up your copy of "You Are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done" at https://youareastrategist.com, and you'll get that free PDF of the "No-BS OKRs Workbook" when you purchase direct.

Ep 33 - Sneak Peek of My Upcoming Book: You Are A Strategist (not just an OKRs book)

Ever feel like you're speaking a different language than your colleagues when presenting your ideas? Or, like a square peg in your work? Do you feel like you're trying to read minds to understand what's expected of you, while your co-workers are just humming along doing their work? Or, do you lead people who that describes well?In this powerful episode, Sara Lobkovich reveals why the very qualities that might make some people feel like an outsider at work—being "too analytical" or "too detail-oriented"—could actually be their greatest strategic strengths (and a tremendous asset to the organizations they work within).In today's Thinkydoers short, hear a preview of the Introduction to Sara's upcoming book: You Are A Strategist: Use No-BS Objectives and Key Results to Get Big Things Done"You Are A Strategist" isn't just another theoretical strategy book. It's a practical playbook for people who think differently about work and want to make real change happen. Through frameworks like the Connected Strategic One-Pager and No-BS OKRs, you'll discover how to transform your strategic insights into clear, compelling direction that others can actually follow, without getting lost in politics or burning out.Drawing from her experience training over 2,000 OKR coaches across more than 300 organizations globally, Sara shares a human-centered approach to strategy that works for everyone—not just those with traditional business backgrounds or positions of power. Whether you're in the C-Suite, a chief of staff, a program manager, a product manager, a project lead, department director, or high-performing individual contributor (or beyond!), this episode will help you unlock your inner strategist and make your unique impact.Episode Highlights:Why being "strategic" isn't about being smart or having a specific job titleThe five key questions that identify strategic thinkersHow to recognize and empower strategic thinkers in your organizationWhy ideas alone aren't enough in today's business environmentIntroduction to Connected Strategic One-sheet and No-BS OKRsThe science behind goal-setting and motivationEpisode Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Thinkydoer Shorts[00:39] Introduction to You Are A Strategist[01:28] Dedication and Audience[01:53] Identifying Strategists[02:25] Challenges and Misconceptions[04:29] Defining Strategy and Strategists[10:17] The Role of Ideas in Strategy[12:18] Implementing Strategic Goals[19:39] The Connected Strategic One Sheet and No BS OKRs[26:57] Conclusion and Next StepsNotable Quotes:[00:05:00] "The job isn't to convince people that you're a smart person; it's to clarify situations so everyone can do the smart thing." (Referencing a quote by Rob Estreitinho of Salmon Labs)[00:07:00] "If you read books and research papers for fun and delight in spotting ways that wildly disparate information connects to create new ideas and approaches, that might be you."[00:09:00] "Good strategy makes the work better, but you don't see the strategy itself. The strategy is the scaffolding that the stuff you ultimately see rests on."[00:12:00] "If anyone is to have any hope of solving the major organizational, cultural, and existential problems we all face together today, insightful, curious, linky brains are an asset."[00:16:00] "In today's market and work world, every person can operate strategically, no matter how senior or tactical your role. Strategy is clear expectations."[00:24:00] "Strategy achievement, at its core, is human behavior change. Psychological research in the motivation sciences fields shows that human behavior change relies heavily on the creation of specific, actionable goals and a learning-focused approach."Key Takeaways:Strategy is about clarifying situations so everyone can do the smart thingStrategic thinking is independent of job title or roleGood strategy makes work better but often remains invisibleClear expectations and empirical measurements are crucial for successStrategy achievement is fundamentally about human behavior changeResources Mentioned:You Are A Strategist book: youareastrategist.comNo-BS OKRs Workbook (PDF download): https://findrc.co/4ggdAtzNewsletter signup: findrc.co/newsletterMentioned in this episode:Don't forget: Get your free No-BS OKRs Workbook or schedule a VIP Strategy Day!Before I let you go, I just wanna remind you, you can pick up your copy of "You Are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done" at https://youareastrategist.com, and you'll get that free PDF of the "No-BS OKRs Workbook" when you purchase direct.

Ep 32 - Executing Under Pressure: High Stakes, High Performance, With Pro Racer and Firefighter Jayson Uribe

What does it take to perform at the absolute limit, every time you show up to work?How do you navigate your own chemisty, and both objective and perceived risk when lives are actually on the line?Find out in this conversation with professional motorcycle road racer, firefighter, and business owner, Jayson Uribe. Jay and I work together in our moto lives -- he's one of the pro riders that I really enjoy working with in my capacity as a team principal for CW Moto Racing. In addition to being a very skilled, highly capable and accomplished rider in a sport where the rider is ultimately the one who goes out there and twists the throttle, Jayson's life and career have given him a unique perspective on teamwork that makes him truly fun to work with. He's also a talented development rider: his ability to give us technical information about his experience on track not only makes it possible for us to improve the bike for him; it also helps us improve our equipment for all of our riders.Jayson agreed to join me for a peek inside his brain, to hear more about his experiences with balancing technical precision and emotional awareness in high-stakes environments. From his morning pre-race routines to his approach to failure and risk management, what he's learned about performing under pressure applies far beyond the racetrack or firehouse. Whether you're facing challenging decisions in your own work, managing teams through high-pressure situations, or simply curious about the psychology of peak performance, you'll find valuable insights in this conversation about what it really takes to execute at the highest level when it matters most.Episode Highlights:The learnable balance between technical expertise and emotional regulationAchieving and maintaining flow states in high-pressure situationsHow morning routines and preparation impact performanceManaging failure and using setbacks as motivationRisk mitigation and decision-making under pressureTransferable skills between racing and firefightingThe myth of natural talent vs. practiced fundamentalsKey Concepts Explored:Flow state in high-performance environmentsTechnical precision under emotional stressRisk assessment and managementProgressive goal-settingRecovery and regulation techniquesPerformance preparation routinesNotable Quotes:"[High performance] is just perfect execution of fundamentals under stress. And the more perfect the execution, the better the outcome will be.""The best races are the ones you don't remember. When you're riding the bike you're almost so focused that everything else is a blur.""Being able to remove the emotional side of things... you got to lock into the moment of what you are there to do."Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Thinkydoers Podcast[00:56] Current Events and Connecting with Listeners[04:05] Deep Dive: Jayson Uribe's Multifaceted Career[06:51] Balancing Emotions and Technical Precision[11:32] Goal-Setting and Performance Mindset[19:28] Lessons from Racing and FirefightingGuest Information:Jayson Uribe is a professional motorcycle racer with both international and U.S. national career experience.

Ep 31 - Speed, Strategy, and Staying Unblocked: Leadership Lessons from Pro Motorsports & Beyond

What can business leaders learn from the high-stakes world of professional motorsports?Find out, in this conversation between Thinkydoers host Sara Lobkovich (whose "other life" is in professional motorcycle road racing) and organizational change expert Jurriaan Kamer, co-author of "Formula X: How to Reach Extreme Acceleration in Your Organization" and his new release, "Unblock: Clear the Way for Results and Develop a Thriving Organization."We cover a lot of ground here -- from how pro racing teams approaches to goal clarity, mistake recovery, and rhythmic learning can transform your leadership practice, to creating blame-free cultures, and mastering the art of strategic alignment.In this lively and engaging conversation, you'll discover how racing's high-performance, high-stakes principles can accelerate your business performance—whether you're a motorsports fan or not.Episode Highlights:Three core principles business can learn from racing teams: Crystal-clear goals and their role in driving focusBalanced autonomy and alignment in high-performing teamsRhythmic learning: how racing teams turn every moment into an opportunity for improvementCreating blame-free cultures in high-stakes environmentsThe power of "even over" statements in explicit prioritizationDecision-making frameworks: understanding "hats, haircuts, and tattoos"How consent and choice drive organizational ownershipNotable Quotes:"Failure avoidance is more dangerous than failure recovery." - Jurriaan Kamer"If you look at Formula 1 teams [...] execution is not 99% of the thing. They understand that everything they do is an opportunity to reflect and improve. These meetings, these rituals, are built into their cadence. It's not something somebody has to plan - it's just part of how they operate." - Jurriaan Kamer"If you try to convince a group of people, the first thing you need to do is not tell them why you think you're right, but ask them what they think is going to go wrong. And then you can start to build conviction together." - Jurriaan Kamer"We have to take a systemic perspective when things go wrong... As an outsider, you think 'Oh, this person needs to be fired, because they blew the chances of a victory.' Which is just very short-term focused because [mistakes] will repeat [themselves] if you don't understand all the factors that were at play." - Jurriaan KamerGuest Information: Jurriaan Kamer is an organizational change expert based in the Netherlands and author of "Formula X: How to Reach Extreme Acceleration in Your Organization" and "Unblock." Drawing from his unique access to professional car-racing teams and extensive experience with self-managing organizations, he helps leaders worldwide create high-performing, adaptable organizations.Jurriaan's Resources Mentioned:Formula X: How to Reach Extreme Acceleration in Your Organization (Book by Rini van Solingen and Jurriaan Kamer)Unblock: Clear the Way for Results and Develop a Thriving Organization (Book by Jurriaan Kamer)Website: jurriaankamer.comUnblock book website: unblockbook.netSara's Links and Resources:Join this Fall's Goal Fridays free live series: https://findrc.co/goalfridaysJoin Sara's Email Newsletter: https://findrc.co/newsletterEmail Sara at hello@redcurrantco.comOther Free No-BS OKRs Resources: Access all free resourcesThinkydoers (not-just-an OKR podcast) Home Page: https://saralobkovich.com/thinkydoers-podFollow CW Moto Racing on Instagram: https://instagram.com/cw_motoFind full show notes and the episode transcript via https://findrc.co/thinkydoers !Mentioned in this episode:Don't forget: Get your free No-BS OKRs Workbook or schedule a VIP Strategy Day!Before I let you go, I just wanna remind you, you can pick up your copy of "You Are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done" at https://youareastrategist.com, and you'll get that free PDF of the "No-BS OKRs Workbook" when you purchase direct.
