TNLA Green Report Podcast, Season 6, Episode 9: Women in Hort February 2026 Meeting

Focus on desired outcomes when setting goals, rather than just the goals themselves, to ensure alignment with overall objectives.

Regularly review progress (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) to catch glitches early and maintain momentum towards goals.

Involve employees in goal setting by understanding their personal aspirations and showing them how their contributions fit into company objectives to foster buy-in.

Acknowledge and address the discomfort that often accompanies change, providing support and permission for employees to express their challenges.

Be strategic about who you share big goals with, especially in male-dominated fields, to avoid discouragement and seek support from trusted mentors.

When faced with negative or dismissive colleagues, acknowledge their perspective positively and then redirect the conversation to solutions and risk mitigation.

For electronic bookkeeping, prioritize systems that are easy for your accountant to access and utilize available training resources to become proficient.
