Doug interviews Gifty Enright, a keynote speaker, coach and author. Gifty shares her approach to goal setting, starting small and building up gradually. She explains why setting goals across multiple life areas allows you to borrow motivation when one area struggles. The conversation covers breaking down large goals into manageable steps, the role of male allies in closing gender gaps and tips for delegation and boundary setting.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Set goals across different life areas using the wheel of life approach then when one area struggles, you can borrow dopamine and motivation from areas where you're succeeding.

• Begin with small steps (like 500-gram weights) to avoid intimidation and build momentum, make the first step so small you can't resist doing it.

• Male allies create change. Performance bias means men's voices carry more weight, when men support women's issues, the needle moves 90% compared to just 30% when women advocate alone.

• When facing boring admin work, commit to doing just 5 instead of 10 tasks to make it manageable and maintain progress.

• Use pen and paper for initial goal creation to engage more senses, then transfer to apps for tracking and reminders as the physical act increases commitment.

• Review goals quarterly to assess progress, make tweaks, and ensure they still align with your current priorities and values.

• Once you start executing a plan, momentum propels you forward, halfway through, you'll think "I might as well take it all the way."

BEST MOMENTS

"Sometimes one area might be hard. Let's say I'm struggling with my business goals... But if my half a kilo weight way, if I'm crushing it there... That dopamine I'm getting there is actually transferable."

"We need men because of such a thing called performance bias, when we get men to talk about women's issues, it lands quicker and we hit critical mass quicker."

"If you are at the point of overwhelm and you self doubt you don't have the confidence to ask for help because you think that people would think you're failing."

"Every man out there with a partner who is a woman, just ask them, please, how can you support them? And in that way we can move the needle and we will make society a better place."
