Ever Better Today:
Season 2 Episode 11
Holding Yourself Accountable
Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!
Notes from this episode are below.
How do you hold yourself accountable? Have you discovered a system that keeps you on track? Do you rely on reporting your progress to someone else? Accountability practices tend to evolve and get ever better over time.
Accountability practices are not one-size fits all!
As a coach, I don’t hold people accountable, I help them to create the system that works for them. This is the highest level of service that I can provide to someone. However, just knowing that a meeting with me is coming up often generates the drive to get stuff done!
To develop accountability for yourself try the following:
1) Develop new habits. Check out the book, Atomic Habits by James Clear for great tips on this.
2) Find an accountability partner and check in with each other on a regular basis to discuss progress on your goals.
3) Create a deadline for yourself. For example, to get projects done around the house, invite people over! This will get you cleaning and organizing. (At least it does for me!)
