Thank you so much for sharing this, Sarah! I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed, ALL of the time as a small business owner and a mom. I often feel so overwhelmed by my big ideas that I don't even get them started - but this formula makes it so approachable!
I LOVE THIS COMMENT so much - thank you for sharing. Because *I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed* too, as a business owner (and I don't have 1/100th of the employees you do!), and a mom... so it means a lot to hear it resonated with you, too. Thank you!
"I want to live in a world where your goal exists" I love that so much 🙌🏽
Thank you! I'm so thankful to have it as a powerful driving mission 🙌 But it's also a little self-serving. I know this world will be a better place for me and my family when more people are able to make their goals a reality!
Brilliantly simple and so impactful. Thank you Sarah.
I was lucky to get to see you give this talk in person. Well it is even better on video - just adds weight to the simplicity and power of the message. Probably something I'll come re-watch every year to remind me to stay focused on simple, first principles. Specify. Prioritize. Collaborate.
Specify, prioritize, collaborate - that's it! We need t-shirts. Thanks for your support, as always. Means a lot.
Agreed!!! Except I may come back to watch everyday 😂🙌🏼
Fantastic advice! I love the idea of narrowing goals, including those BAGs (big audacious goals) down to a single page to make it clearer and easier to tackle!
So glad to hear this resonated - thank you for the support!
Simplifying the complicated Sarah! You continue to inspire me and everyone around you! Your message is always so authentic, challenging and truly inspiring. I’m better every time we interact and connect. Thank you for never giving up and continue to overcome ❤❤❤
I've told you before and I'll tell you again 😉 I find YOU really inspiring, so it means a lot to hear your kind words - thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate the view and comment/your support of this work!
Bravo! I am an ardent believer in the need to focus the brain on specific written goals. Writing them down on paper, rather than just thinking about them, activates the motor cortex and drives enhanced retention and recall in the hippocampus. This is really good stuff in this Tedx, y'all!
100% agree
Support from THE John Edwards! I'm literally reading your "Build Your Best Brain" book right now! Thank you for this meaningful comment. Appreciate you so much.
“The time you need your network is not when you want to build your network”
I love the idea of intentionally thinking through your support community as you plan out your goal.
It really changes the mindset. It’s so easy to get stuck inside your own head, this pushes you to think outside of it and start building your helper network before you need it!
Thank you for sharing this pull quote - it was one of my favorites to share because it's been so helpful in my own career, and it's so clear in the research! Really appreciate the support.
Thanks for sharing a simplified system to not just setting, but actually achieving!, goals, Sarah. Your research into how people got to where they are by being specific, taking the right actions, and calling on community is so encouraging and helpful. As a creative marketing consultant and speaker, I totally agree that adding in a sense of urgency is critical in today's hyperspeed world. Don't wait. Get started!!
Thank you so much for the supportive comment - it means a lot to receive this support from marketing expert Barbara Rozgonyi! And love the phrasing - "Don't wait. Get started!" Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Love the simplicity that we can keep this one page always in our minds to allow more focus.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your support of this work. And yes -- the simplicity! That's it!
What a wonderful talk! I love the way your emphasis the urgency of people making their goals happen - our world will be a better place!!
Means the world to have your support! Thank you so much for the comment. And thank you for that call out - it meant a lot to have a space for the *urgency* in this talk - the urgent challenge of helping more people make significant progress toward their really big goals.
Are you working on your goals … or around your goals?’ This question was posed by Sarah at a recent workshop I attended on goal setting. It was a thought-provoking question. Sarah pointed out that too often we focus on the trivial as opposed to the vital things that get us closer to our aims. Sarah’s session was engaging and I walked away with an awesome one-page tool that helped me focus on key next steps. So glad she is sharing it with the world here.
Thank you, Stan - so appreciate you watching this video, since you got to see a lot of these concepts in the workshop! Really appreciate your support.
Simple, short, targeted, action-oriented. Thanks Sarah.
Thank you for the support - means so much!
The first step toward any goal is the hardest and it is where to get started! The one page approach made it clear and definitely hits the “easy button” for me. Thanks Sarah.
The easy button! Ha! I love it so much. Thank you so much for the view and the supportive comment.
As a productivity speaker, coach, and author, I firmly believe in your message. Many people procrastinate by planning and get caught up in all the details. I love the one-pager of goals. It makes people take ACTION instead of continuing to plan. Sometimes, over-planning means fear of starting. JUST DO IT!
Hearing this from someone who's so known and respected in the productivity space - Marcey Rader! - means so much. Thank you for your support, and what a great message of encouragement! JUST DO IT!
Great speech, informative, and excellent delivery! I love the idea of goal-setting and keeping it on a single page, for later reference and motivation. Also love the positivity of the message, and that you're inspiring everyone to achieve their goals. That's the type of world I want to live in! Congrats Dr. Sarah Glova on an excellent TED Talk!
Thank you for the wonderful message! What a kind, supportive comment - so glad to hear you enjoyed it, and means the world that you took a moment to say so. Thank you!
What a great talk: step-by-step instructions that could help so many people not only achieve their goals, but also think about what those goals should be and why they are important.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It means a lot to hear you felt it was step-by-step. You know, early in my career, I had some help learning about technical communication from some amazing professors... (ahem, like Dr. Katz 😉). I think it's helped to shape how I communicate, especially keeping things step-by-step!
As a recent college graduate, this really hit home. Though you don’t have a time machine for yourself, i appreciate you sharing this message with me and the rest of the world !
So glad to hear this message was helpful, Kevin. And while it would be nice to have a time machine (ha!), it's more than enough to be able to share this message with people like you 🤍 I mean it - so, so glad to hear you liked the talk - and I'm rooting for you and whatever you're taking on next!
Brilliant idea 💡and truly grateful to experience your ‘One Page To Impact’ Single Page 🎯 which has been a game-changer on my journey to 2024 Goals ✅ thanks for graciously sharing globally Sarah! Keep inspiring the world 🌍
Thank you so much, Larry Long Jr! Such a fan of your work, so this means so much!
Congratulations Sarah! Goals can feel overwhelming and abstract, so creating a focussed page is a great way to clarify the task. You present with such warmth and enthusiasm, and I love the stick figure drawings. Thank you.
So glad to hear you loved the message and slides! That means a lot coming from you, Bri Williams. I can say hands down, without a doubt, lessons learned from you helped to inform this talk, from how it's titled through to its message. Thank you for the support and wisdom, always!
@@sarahglova-speaker that's very kind of you to say.
Planning for perfection means never putting a plan into action. Love your simplified solution to moving from the "thinking about" phase to the "do" phase. Great stuff!
Phew, what a reminder! I've been in that "planning for perfection" stuck space before, so it's one of the reasons I love this research/work - really appreciate you amplifying this point. Thanks for the support!
Sarah, you're truly inspiring! Your speech sheds light on the journey to success, providing invaluable insights for those pursuing their goals with purpose and precision. Thank you!
What a wonderfully supportive comment -- wow, thank you so much, Sharyn. Means a lot! And so glad to hear you enjoyed this one. Appreciate your view and comment - you're the best.
Love this! It reframes the Mark Twain adage "if I had more time..." and how to solve it. Be specific. Answer "the why." Prioritize. Keep moving.
That's it! (And that's one of my favorite quotes!) Thank you for the support. And cheers to "keep moving"!
Making things simple is THE key to getting stuff done!
Agree, agree, agree, Amber! And as we're talking about here - even for the really BIG stuff!
The idea of getting super specific about your goals is something I often overlook, but it makes so much sense that clarity would lead to better results. Thanks for the insight!
4:20 Working around vs Real progress. When you start and mess up you can go back to correct and try again. When we don’t start we never truly pursue the goal. We inevitably have to wait for something. That’s when to complete work around tasks. Example: do the marketing plan for a book while illustrations are being completed not before. Thank you for this! My goal will come to fruition October 1
Thank you for calling this out! Such an important point - and love your example. Can't wait to hear more about what's coming on October 1!
Goal setting was almost so much fun in school. Let us stick to what works! Single page, purpose and simple goal chunking.
Yes! Let's keep it simple!
Like a product one-pager, the business model canvas, a persona, etc. , a single page is all you need! Great story
Thank you so much for the supportive comment! It means a lot to hear that you thought this method/story was helpful.
Double, triple, quadruple down on community! We can all achieve our goals with deeper engagement and support of a community. It's powerful... really, really, powerful!
Who are the best community leaders you have run into on UA-cam? - Steven Musielski is the best at it in my experience. I told him to add you on Linkedin.
Yes, yes, yes! Big agree. Thank you so much for amplifying this point, and for supporting this work with your comment!
Excellent message. The beauty about this is it never ends. From making goals to achieving goals, we evolve. The idea of all on one page makes routine progress more of a reality. Love this.
What a beautiful point, Cory - and I wholeheartedly agree. The wonderful thing about this process is that it's continuous - something we can keep with us as we continue to take on big things (and then, once those are accomplished, set our sights on new big things!). And love your phrasing of "makes routine progress more of a reality." Thanks for these gems and for your support -- means a lot!
Thank you for sharing this with the world, Sarah. Such impactful learnings!
Thank you for supporting it with your view and comment, Sarah! Appreciate you!
I love that this talk is both inspiring and actionable, Sarah! The concept of simplifying any big idea into a simple one page plan makes so much sense and I'm so thankful to have a new template for how to best approach creating this goal-setting roadmap. I also particularly LOVE your emphasis on the importance of community. I can't wait to start learning more about people's one page plans and watching their dreams come to life all thanks to the seed planted by this incredible talk! 👏
THANK YOU! What a cool comment, coming from someone who I think of as both inspiring and actionable 😊 Can't wait to keep talking about this with you - but thank you for this view and comment. Appreciate you!
No need to overcomplicate. Great message Sarah!
No need to overcomplicate! That's it! Thanks for your support :)
I love how actionable this is! And your passion and delivery is inspiring. Thank you for sharing, Sarah!
It means the world to hear that -- thank you, Michele! So appreciate you taking the time to comment, and love to har that you enjoyed the talk. Thank you!
Such simple and straightforward advice from a wonderful human!
Love this message, Sarah! Less is more. The simplicity of your plan makes our goal-setting way more approachable. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support, Sharon! It means a lot to read that - the whole mission was, "How can I help make goals and achievement more approachable so that more people feel comfortable in the face of big goals?" Thank you so much 😊 💛
Goal setting is key to seeing "stuff" get done. Thanks Sarah for keeping this important discipline in front of us!!!!
Thank YOU for supporting this work with your view and comment! Really appreciate it - and love the phrasing. I'm all about keeping the practice in front of us so that all of us are able to unlock our potential ❤
Young Sarah would be very proud of Sarah today!! I know I am proud to know her and get to be a part of her speaking life. My hope is that all of you can see what a valuable speaker she is and hire her!
Ha! What a great comment. Thank you! Young Sarah would be VERY surprised that today-Sarah spent time on stages talking in front of other people 😊 But all versions of me are so, so grateful to have your support. Thank you 💛
Part kick in the pants, part motivational, part world changing…a perfect TedTalk expertly delivered!
What a kind comment! Thank you so much - grateful for your support, and means a lot to hear this called part "kick in the pants" -- love that so much!
Sarah, you are an inspiration and I am grateful for the positive message with passionate delivery!
Thanks, thanks, thanks, Jim! What a kind and supportive comment!
So simple but so revolutionary. Thanks for the insight Dr. Glova!
Thank you for the supportive comment, @MicDropWorkshop! Very grateful. Also - BIG fan of your work and all the ways you support a community of women thought leaders and speakers 🙌
Sarah is one of the most talented and inspirational speakers I have ever seen. Her work with Women+ in Climate Tech was incredible and I recommend her highly!
So appreciate the support of the amazing Women in Climate Tech network - I loved speaking for this organization, and I continue to be an avid fan. Thank you for the comment and support!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Dr. Glova! So many actionable ideas in this excellently delivered talk. I can't wait to implement them in my own goal planning!
What a wonderful comment - that means a lot, especially coming from a business owner who I know has accomplished *so* much! Appreciate your support!
This is such a great way to look at setting yourself up for success. Thank you.
I love the concept of simplifying the complicated. The simpler the goal description, timelines, obstacles, and milestones, the more likely it is to be achieved. Thank you for your wisdom!
Agree, agree, agree - and what an incredible comment to receive, from someone whose work I admire so much - someone who's knocked some *really* big goals out of the park! (I'd use a hockey reference for you there, but I don't know any - I'll work on that.)
Thank you, Shep - means the world to have your support.
Wow, as an introverted nerd my Mt Everest is public speaking. I’ve been working on it 20yrs and watching Sarah work a room is a masterclass. So much to learn here and the graphics are 👩🍳😘Congrats on your (first of many) Tedx talks Sarah!!
Well, first off, this is the best, THANK YOU for this comment - your support means the world and is just... really nice. Thanks. ALSO, I wanted to make a penguin pun about it, but hold please, I'll need to work on that.
ALSO ALSO - I feel like we haven't talked enough about this idea of introverts and public speaking - because I genuinely feel like being introverted is my public speaking secret superpower. I could barely speak after giving this TEDx and doing the panel afterward - I was legit *out of words* - but I loved doing it, even if it meant I had to practice, practice, practice... learning how to make my introverted tendencies work for public speaking has been one of my favorite life challenges!
What I understand through this video, you have single page you write

Great summary! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Great job, Sarah!
An insightful and impactful approach to taking on a big thing.
Meaningful words from someone who's taken on so, so many big things. Thank you!
Dr Sarah Glova is an incredibly brilliant speaker and writer and I am so glad everyone gets to see her this way. Loved watching this!
What a wonderfully supportive comment. Thank you so much! So glad to hear you enjoyed it - means a lot.
Wonderful, Sarah! Love the power of a specific, 1 page goal planning tool ... especially the community piece!
Means a lot to hear you say that! Thank you! Appreciate your support (and the community piece is my favorite, too!).
Great job, Dr. Glova. Inspirational and common sense information on attaining goals. Thank you for your expertise.
Go Sarah!! You always make things so relatable.
That's really kind. Thank you! I was trying really hard with this one - the message means a lot. Appreciate your support!
Great job! I made my one pager while I was listening. It's a 6 month plan, I'll let you know how it goes!
I can't WAIT to hear more 👏 Thanks for supporting the video, and can't wait to hear about your plan!
I love actionable talks. Watching along and creating my own template in real-time shows what a simple but unique concept this is. I don't think I've ever had a community "field" in my over-engineered goal-setting attempts. "Spending time setting those dominoes up..." Oops, I feel seen. 😬A great perspective and extremely well-delivered. Thank you, Sarah, insightful as always!
Thank YOU, Steph, for this comment! And that "setting those dominoes up" metaphor - that came from a place of experience, for sure 🤣 Been. There! I think we all have. So glad you enjoyed this - really means a lot. Thanks for supporting.
You serve as a role model for what you teach.... Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your clear message and supporting research...you ROCK!
Wow, this comment just makes my day! Grace, you are someone I'm always looking to for insights on leadership - from your column in TechWire to your many roles in the community - your support means the world. YOU rock! Thank you for this.
I really enjoyed this TEDx talk. I agree, it is best to put all of your information on one page.
Thank you! It's so validating to hear you say that, I know you spend a lot of time with big goals - appreciate your support!
Sarah, you're spot on! I love your knowledge, your concise philosophy and your enthusiasm!
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I had SO MUCH I wanted to share... but I tried to keep it concise and simple so that it would feel welcoming and easy. It means a lot that you felt it was concise!
Great insights, Sarah! You always inspire me!
Well right back at you 40 UNDER 40! Thanks for the support, as always.
Always sharing such great information!
Well that's a really nice thing to say. Thank you, Alisha! I was trying hard with this one - this message means a lot to me. Appreciate your support!
This is great - applies to all endeavors nicely!
What a cool comment! Thanks so much - appreciate your support!
Inspiration and yet simple and doable. Thanks.
What a kind comment. Thank you!
Congrats Dr Sarah -- a single page --great idea
Thank you so much for the support - really appreciate it!
Great talk!!! Very inspirational!!!
Love this! Cant wait for your next one! ❤
What a nice comment! Thank you!
Her podcast sounds super interesting, looking forward to checking it out
loved her little drawings, added such a cute, personal touch!
What a nice comment! Thank you! I almost did this with no slides, because when I first started developing slides related to the single page... it made the talk feel like I was helping people fill out a form 🤣 Luckily, I know a really talented animator, Mike Doyle w/ Drive 80 Studios - he helped me create these. The talk wouldn't be the same without them!
Great presentation. Lots to think about.
Thank you so much, Donna - means a lot that you enjoyed the talk and took time to share a comment!
I know what she's saying about tuning out the noise and I agree it takes some serious skills and discipline to do that!
Agree! And I think what I've learned over time is the skill and discipline of tuning out that noise and focusing on big actions - that's a *practice*, something we have to do repeatedly and that we get better at over time... learning that helped me a lot because instead of thinking that I wasn't an "achiever type," I learned that the skill and discipline required could be practiced and improved 🙌
Thanks for your comment!
Great job Sarah! Great ideas and fun slides! 💪💪
Eek! So glad you like the slides. That means a lot coming from THE branding expert. Appreciate your support!
easily understandable and usable strategies. clearly presented. good redsource.
What a wonderful comment. Thank you so much, Linda! Appreciate you!
Great advice, delivered brilliantly per usual!
Thank you so much for the supportive comment, Sophia! I know you've taken on so, SO many big goals - you're one of the many people that so many of these ideas are modeled on! So it means a lot to hear you call this great advice 😊
Bravo! I love it. Thanks for sharing this with the world :)
Thanks for always being my #1 fan!
Great action plan, Sarah. Well done!
Thank you, Ronnie! Your support means a lot - appreciate you!
Fantastic talk. We should all do this!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting this work!
Great job Sarah! Good info and tips on how to achieve your goals, not matter how big or small. Thank you!
Thank you so much! That means a lot - I'm always hoping that folks hear this as a great strategy for ALL goals, big or small. Appreciate your support!
🎉🎉 that was Dope i really enjoyed it and your delivery was amazing keep it up.
What an awesome comment. Thank you, thank you, thank you - means a lot. Really appreciate it. 💛
What a great message! So approachable and powerful!
Very cool of you to check it out, Kol! Thank you! Appreciate the support :)
Watching it now, and you hooked us immediately, this is so compelling! And great production value too! Great visuals too!
Eek! THANKS, Colin Ryan! Always means a lot to hear a compliment from another speaker 💛 The production value was ALL Earfluence - they did such an amazing jobs with the lights, camera angles, editing... and the slides were done by the awesome Mike Doyle, local animator and head of Drive 80 Studios! It was a team effort!
ok amplifier ;)@@sarahglova-speaker love that, we gotta share that credit, and rightly so, just make sure you keep some too :)
@@colinryanspeaks 😂 HEARD, friend. Heard loud and clear. Thanks for that.
Great speech. I tried something similar for my planned/identified yealy goals - in order to set the target, break these down, reviee quarterly and achieve them over the year, but liked this single page idea for each abstract goals to achieve with milestones. Great idea to have community involved, but not sure how to get the community involved and involvement in such busy life....
Love how you were approaching your annual goals, especially with the quarterly reviews! I hope this is a helpful add on to the great work you're already doing. And I understand your thoughts about fitting in the community piece - I hope you feel encouragement to start small. Even a few conversations a quarter can add up to a big network over time - and it's quality over quantity, meaning it's more important to connect with those folks who will recognize your journey, vs. trying to go out and meet everyone! Good luck - rooting for you!
So great! Thanks!
Thanks, thanks, thanks! Really appreciate the support.
Super helpful approach
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tim! Your support means the world - I know you've taken on some big goals and helped a lot of other people make their big goals a reality. Appreciate your view and comment!
Great video!
Well thank you very much 😊 Took a lot of prep work to make this happen, but it was so worth it to get the message out there. Appreciate your support!
Okay I get what she means by being in the planning stage for ages because it's safe there but I've also seen people stay in the planning stage for months and then in the space of two weeks they completely change their whole lives like it's nothing and they're just like oh yeah this is what I was working towards! So maybe there's something to be said for that too lol
I love that you related to this 💛 AND -- and, and and -- I love your example. Sometimes the planning is required! And hey, if someone was planning for a few months and then took two weeks to take action - that's not bad at all.
For me, the important lesson I learned from the research is that planning *CAN* be a form of inaction, almost like procrastination or decision paralysis. That doesn't mean planning is *ALWAYS* a bad thing - just that we need to be intentional, and that we have an opportunity to pay attention to when we're using planning as a way to avoid a big, scary step.
I hope that's helpful. Can't thank you enough for your thoughtful comment - thanks for engaging with this topic!
Oh man I felt so seen when she talked about that friend whose wanted to leave their job for ages haha 😅
You are *not* alone in that - so many of us can recognize that in our friends or, dare I say, in ourselves! :) Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it!
8:55 Elders followed by local government, mentors I find who’ve achieved the goal, then family and friends (avoid the naysayers)
Excellent! All great pieces of a community!
LOL at the older millennial thing, I definitely do that too
🤣 THANK YOU for saying that. I know my students tease me about that "gesture" reference. I also had to explain what "book on tape" meant to them the other day.
at least her jacket isnt fake, because everything else in this video is.
