Following up from last week’s post on realizing your goals, today I am talking about accountability. It is I believe the third leg of the coaching industry stool.( If my metaphor is lost on you, we had a dairy farm.)
Again and again, I realize that an undeclared goal can quickly slide into a wish when the going gets a little tough. So, I am recommending that everyone has an accountability partner, a coach or both! Remember that accountability partnerships have to be reciprocal to be the most productive, and for many people, a coach is easier and usually quicker. Many people are simply not able to ask the hard necessary questions. Why do people fear accountability? I suggest three main reasons:
- You would have to admit you really mind being stuck.
- You don’t want to admit the goal was never truly yours.
- You are afraid to learn and grow from setbacks and have catastrophized over failing.(Remember my namesake Wayne (Gretzky!) said ” You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”.)
Jack Canfield (Mr. Chicken Soup) Says that every risk is a chance to win or a chance to learn. Get learning!
So, if you are ready to turn your dreams into goals, and your goals into plans, book a discovery call.
