How to Set goals When you’re Not Ready Yet for OKRs (Template)
Ask any serial founder who has built companies from the ground up about OKRs and they will share a story of trying to implement them too soon and failing.
OKRs are excellent for aligning teams around company goals once you reach a certain size but are too heavy-weight and doomed to fail for early-stage teams. So, what’s the alternative? A simplified goal-setting process that gives you 80% of the benefit of OKRs with 20% of the structure and implementation effort.

How to Run an Effective Cofounder Sync
Sam Altman, former Y-Combinator president, states that the #1 killer of startups is cofounder conflict.
How do you prevent cofounder differences from turning into cofounder rifts that sap your time, energy, and success? How do you proactively invest in your partnership so it can grow as your company grows?
There are many components to maintaining a strong cofounder relationship, but one core piece is setting aside time with your cofounder(s) and using that time effectively to invest in each other and your partnership.
This playbook offers a step-by-step process on how to run a cofounder sync and deepen your cofounder relationship.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO MASTER THE ENNEAGRAM AND EXPAND YOUR LEADERSHIP RANGE
As a coach, I’ve studied nearly every personality assessment and tool for expanding executive performance. The Enneagram, when studied and understood at a deep level, is one of the most effective ways to expand your self-awareness and become a more effective leader.
This guide is for anyone who wants to go beyond the superficial, and to embrace the discomfort that comes with knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and mental patterns in a profound way, and then to do the work of expanding your range, effectiveness, and joy as a leader and outside of work.
