Goal-Setting and OKR Facilitation

## CONTEXT
My team's goals are either vague, imposed top-down, or set and forgotten. I want to run a goal-setting process that produces a small set of clear, measurable, ambitious objectives that the team helps shape and actually uses to make decisions.

## ROLE

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Keep goals few, clear, and measurable.
