Having a set of goals is a lofty ideal, but they will just collect dust if we don’t breathe life into them.
Coaching is grounded in the notion that accountability is important. Creating opportunities to revisit and adjust your goals is an important part of accountability
In thinking about different ways to work on goals with your colleagues this year think about creating different types of accountability mechanisms. This could include:
Accountability partners – where different team members are paired together and meet together themselves virtually once or twice a month. As a team you might decide to have accountability partners meet for a quarter or the entire year.

What does accountability mean for you? What can it look like as it relates to creating accountability around your most important goals this year?
With best wishes,
