Who we are, what we've learned the hard way, and why we believe the POKR Method can work for you too

You might be wondering: Who are these guys, and why should I trust them with my personal goals? Fair question! We're not self-help gurus who discovered the secret to life while meditating on a mountaintop. We're seasoned business consultants who spent decades helping organizations achieve extraordinary results through our consulting work, only to realize we were terrible at applying the same principles to our own lives.

This book is our attempt at honest transparency: Here's who we are, what we've learned the hard way, and why we believe the POKR Method can work for you too.
