Podcasts about your rhythm

Ever feel lost in the alphabet soup of goal-setting frameworks? From KPIs to SMART goals to OKRs, it's easy to get overwhelmed. In this simple, straightforward Thinkydoers Short, strategy coach and OKR expert Sara Lobkovich breaks down these essential frameworks using relatable health and sports examples that make the distinctions crystal clear. Learn when to use each approach and how they complement each other to drive better results. Episode Highlights: Clear explanation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and why they're indicators, not goals Deep dive into SMART goals and their practical applications How OKRs differ from other frameworks for handling uncertainty and innovation Understanding mandatory vs. stretch goals Real-world examples using health and sports metrics Introduction to additional frameworks like BSC (Balanced Scorecard) and ROB (Rhythm of Business) Key Concepts Covered: Activity Goals vs. Outcome Goals KPIs as health indicators for your business The limitations of SMART goals When and how to use mandatory goals The power of OKRs for uncertain territory Building a holistic performance dashboard Creating effective rhythms of business 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 Frameworks Notable 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. It gives you that clarity when what's important is that you do something a certain number of times. 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. [...]Your Rhythm of Business is really your culture. It's your meetings, yes, it's also your communication norms, your asynchronous communication norms, your habits. Your rhythms for learning and feedback, your ways of recognizing each other and what cadence that's on."

“Women have a really special connection to timing”   Today’s episode is all about timing. Is there a “right time” for things in business? Does sequence matter? As women, we often talk about things cyclically, and follow our rhythms. Do women have the sense of right timing? Are we following it? Is it possible that this timing and rhythm may actually be a benefit for women in business?   “Women have power, and that power is intuition. Part of that power is us being to able to feel timing and follow our rhythms”   As women, our lives are built off of cycles. Some say that our intuition comes from the different phases of the moon, and others believe that women have a special “sensing” that men don’t possess. Either way, this can be a massive benefit to women in business. If we find our rhythm and tap into the natural state of who we are intuitively, it actually gives us a competitive edge. From interacting with prospects, to helping clients in a deep and real way, Sonya and Laura tell their own stories of how they use timing to their advantage.   “We’ve gotten disconnected from our sacred cycles”   If you feel like you’re out of sequence in your business, or you’re having a hard time finding your rhythm, you may want to get back to basics and create an environment to let time unfold. In our society, we’re constantly pushing ourselves and obsessing over time. If we can learn to create the space we need to let time unfold and lean into our natural rhythm, we can all find our optimal timing to create the success that we desire.   “Are you being ruled by your intuition, or by your logic?”   Some Topics we talk about in this episode:   Introduction - 1:05 The Science of Timing - 6:25 Allowing Yourself to Connect to Your Rhythm - 9:10 Using Timing as an Excuse - 10:40 The Practice of Intuition - 15:58 The Trusting of Time 18:15 2 Reasons Why Women are Out of Sequence - 24:08 Are We Pushing Ourselves Too Hard? - 28:30 Create Space for Time to Unfold - 31:50 Finding Your Optimal Timing - 34:15 Wrap-up and Takeaways - 36:05 How to get involved Join the Women in the Business Arena Group on Facebook and continue the discussion starting next week! https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena Reach out to us - we’d love to hear more about where you’re at in life and business!
