“Responsibility equals accountability equals ownership. And a sense of ownership is the most powerful weapon a team or organization can have.”  – Pat Summit

Once Upon a Time

There is a story floating around the internet about a celebrity who asked her family member to fat shame her any time she was going into the kitchen to binge-snack. She wanted them to stop her and ask, “where are you going, fatass?” She says this helped her to be accountable for her eating. I recall this story because it is important to make clear, this is not healthy accountability.

Accountability coaching is a structured method very similar to life or success coaching. A professional assists you in focused, healthy, accountability practices to meet the goals you have outlined as important to you.

If you desire to lose weight, as an accountability coach, it is my job to work with you along that journey. We will discuss, frequently and in-depth, your goals and the methods to attain them. I will follow-up, frequently, with you to see how you have done for the day or the week on the tasks outlined in the action plan we create.

If you are entrepreneur with high-output and little to no time-for-self, we will work out a plan to carve time out of the hustle and bustle of business to make sure you are making time for yourself and the people, places, and zzzz’s you love.

Why pay a “coach” to nag you?

Not everyone is a self starter for all the spaces in their lives. Some of us respond better to outside motivation. We do so because the idea of letting others down may supersede our response to letting ourselves down. Family members are great for motivation but they can also be dissuaded and are most certainly biased. This can make them ineffective accountability partners — the same as lovers and co-workers.

As an accountability coach, it is my responsibility to have a clear understanding of your goals, your likes, dislikes, and those vices that are distractions and destructive to your goals. Having an a coach on call, who you pay, means you will view your responsibilities, action plan, tasks, and goals in new perspective. The process can only be as valuable as you, the client, are honest and authentic. You will be pushed, supported, receive a fresh perspective, and countless other benefits that serve as icing on the proverbial cake when viewed from the vantage point of a goal completed.
