The Power of accountability

1-on-1 coaching offers many benefits, accountability to the process is one of them. 

When someone you know and trust is watching over you, wanting you to stay on track as much as you want to, it makes a big difference. Even the best coaches in the world have coaches. They seek out that source of accountability because they see the importance of it. The idea that at any time you can talk to someone about a stress-related issue, rather than diving headfirst into a bag of Doritos can make a huge difference. We all perform better when we’re being supported. 

With 1-on-1 coaching not only is there ongoing support, but there are also the scheduled check-ins. When you know that you’ll be contacted by your coach twice a week whether you like it or not, it can help keep you on track. We support and encourage you to follow through with the commitments you set out to do. We want you to achieve the goals you have set out to achieve. 

Another benefit of 1-on-1 coaching is the experience with people brought by the coach. As coaches we work closely with diverse groups of people, making it likely that the roadblock you find yourself facing is one we have seen before - either ourselves or in other people we have worked with. With this, you are able to learn from the mistakes, and lessons taken away from others, and then apply them to your life. This style of coaching allows us to be proactive in dealing with obstacles you may not have considered yourself. 

Within coaching and accountability, the amount of care and effort your coach puts into the program and you is greatly beneficial, one aspect of that care is communication. Strong communication with coach and client will allow the client to perceive challenges as either bumps in the road or total roadblocks to success. Perspective shows us that what feels big at the moment, might not feel the same way three years down the line. 

When you have someone watching, supporting, holding you to the standards you set for yourself and talking to you, you are able to stay on your path to your goal together. Together there is a far higher likelihood you will stick to your plan and achieve your goals.
