This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
You do not have a goal-setting problem. You set goals every year, and by March nobody remembers them. Here are 314 tools to turn goals into action: 194 ready-to-use procedures, question lists, templates and checklists, 80 models and methods, 35 services shown on screen and 5 working files.
Open a lecture, take the OKR template, and write the one objective that matters this quarter.
Why goals do not turn into action
Goals are written in January and forgotten by March. Nobody reviews them weekly, the review conversation happens once a year, the calendar is full of other people’s priorities, and the work that could be delegated stays on your desk.
What changes after this course
Goals become OKR with a weekly rhythm, performance conversations happen on time, your calendar reflects your priorities, and delegation frees hours instead of creating rework.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
When I joined Wargaming, I proposed that every HR business partner should carry a goal tied to their business unit: help that unit reach its own goals over a five-year horizon, not only HR metrics. The idea was accepted. Managers told us that for the first time HR business partners felt like partners in the same boat, working on their result. A goal starts working when it is shared with the people who have to reach it.
