How Executive Assistants Can Set Goals That Stick


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re tackling a topic that hits close to home: why traditional goal-setting methods often fail for Executive Assistants and how you can set goals that actually stick. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or frustrated by unmet goals, this episode will give you fresh perspectives and practical solutions.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Why focusing on just one “big why” for your goals can set you up for failure.
  • How to create a list of meaningful reasons to stay motivated through challenges.
  • The power of breaking down big goals into smaller, actionable steps for measurable success.
  • How to adopt a transformative "10x mindset" to rethink and revolutionize your approach to growth.

To help you put these strategies into action, we’ve created two free resources:

  1. A SMART Goal-Setting Template to ensure your goals are actionable and achievable.
  2. A Weekly Evaluation Document to reflect on your progress and stay aligned with your priorities.

Download these resources for free at The EA Campus - https://theeacampus.com/podcast/ep44/.

We’ll also share real-world examples of how Executive Assistants can set impactful goals, whether it’s mastering AI tools, streamlining workflows, or aligning their professional growth with their executive’s strategic priorities. Plus, you’ll hear tips on protecting your time and creating a vision statement to keep you focused throughout the year.
