You Are A Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done

You have a vision. You have the drive. Now, you need a strategy.

Conventional approaches to strategy often exclude critical perspectives, overcomplicate simple concepts, and get lost in translation. When executives and consultants arrive with complicated frameworks and hollow slide decks, they leave people with more questions than answers.

Thankfully, you already know a great strategist: you.

You can bring your big, bold ideas to life-regardless of your title, role, or thinking style.

"You Are A Strategist" is the practical playbook for anyone who wants to translate their vision into undeniable impact-including people who feel like outliers in traditional business environments because they think differently.

No matter where you sit in your organization, this book gives you straightforward tools to:

• Create a one-page Connected Strategic Framework that clarifies your vision and rallies others to your cause
• Build alignment without endless meetings or workplace politics
• Establish rhythms that transform your strategic thinking into measurable results
• Develop No-BS Objectives and Key Results that focus on metrics that actually matter-even without perfect data
• Apply evidence-based practices for architecting behavior change to increase goal achievement

Author Sara Lobkovich has trained over 2,000 OKR coaches across 300+ organizations globally, including Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from her executive leadership experience and board-certified health coaching background, she brings a uniquely human-centered approach to strategic planning that works for everyone-not just those with traditional business backgrounds.

Perfect for:

• Leaders looking to transform their team's approach to strategy achievement
• Mid-career professionals who see problems clearly but struggle to implement solutions
• Individual contributors who want to make a bigger impact from any seat
• Professionals who process information differently, face unclear expectations, and feel like everyone else knows something they don't about succeeding
• Anyone struggling with overwhelming, bureaucratic, or ineffective OKR implementations

Wild ideas are where lasting impact is born. Get yours the traction they deserve.

Your ability to see what others miss and challenge established ways of working isn't a liability-it's your strategic advantage. With this book, you'll translate your unique perspective into undeniable results.
