Make Big Hairy Audacious Goals! Doug and Tanja Bogataj's Guide to Intentional Achievement

Doug interviews Tanja Bogataj, a visionary leadership coach who made a bold transition from a government career to entrepreneurship. Tanja shares the challenges of reinventing herself and how she helps other leaders launch their big dreams. The conversation explores goal setting strategies, work/life balance and the importance of support systems. Doug also shares his expert goal setting framework!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When setting goals, balance masculine and feminine energies by combining clear structure with intuition, be deliberate with goals but also listen to your inner wisdom about timing and direction.
• Entrepreneurship provides freedom to create opportunities that align with your passions but also requires different types of courage and creates new challenges not found in a corporate career.
• Leaders often struggle with having no one to share their challenges with; having a coach or support system is crucial as you can't always burden your team or family with business issues.
• Being intentional about what you want to achieve helps align your actions with your values. It’s important to understand not just the goal itself but why you want to achieve it.
• Doug recommends having one primary "big hairy audacious goal," but including smaller achievable goals you can easily achieve to maintain motivation and satisfaction with the goal-setting process.
• Always prioritise family time in your calendar first, nothing is so important that it should consistently override commitments to family, family time cannot be recovered once lost.
• Transformation takes time, approximately six months for individuals and up to 12 months for teams, but having a coach can help shortcut patterns of thinking and behaviours that limit progress.

BEST MOMENTS

"I knew something about coaching, but nothing about entrepreneurship."

"We're not brain surgeons, nothing we do is that important that we cannot have a date night."

"Trust yourself when you either go for one goal and to be open, flexible to change it and learn how to do it better or what needs to be done. Just go with the wisdom of life and living."
