Many people seek a personal life coach or business coach because of the "accountability" factor: they want someone to note their goals, purpose, [healthy] habits and other aspirations they are working toward and monitor their progress toward these aspirations.
"What do you want me to do if you get behind on your goals?" is a question I ask all my clients when we start out. "Give me a kick in the pants" was one response. This push me request happens more often than not.
I do honor this request and I do push clients I work with who want this. But at some point I broach the question, usually as an inquiry or thinking assignment, "Why do you need someone to hold you accountable?' This is provocative question for most people and one not easily answered.
- Do you need someone to hold you accountable to your goals, purpose, [healthy] habits and other aspirations?
- What would you need to change in order for you to be accountable to you? How would you need to restructure your life for this level of internal accountability to happen with automatic ease each time you set your mind to a new achievement?
- How much more effective would you be if you could increase internal accountability?
Don't wait! Take action today toward real accountability to the only person who really matters: you.
