Accountability....

I feel a bit of a fraud having a coach at the moment when I feel like I'm achieving so little. But the honest truth is that if I didn't have Mike and John to hold me accountable I would seriously not be getting any of my jobs done.

Accountability is a very powerful tool. It's about agreeing that you are going to do something and then knowing that the other person is going to ask you about it. Of course you could say, I don't care, but then I'd say that you have choosen the wrong person to be accountable to. You need someone that you know has your best interests at heart and is strong enough that you will listen to them.

It's a relationship based on trust and not fear. And it has the potential to be very powerful and to create powerful momentum going forward.
