Just popped over from Todd Hiestand’s link – nice blog. This post really resonated with me, especially your thoughts about change and accountability.

When it comes to personal development, I think having a few outside forces to hold you accountable and motivate you are important. Sometimes the people closest to us go easy on us.

I’m glad to hear that things are going well with Adam. I feel like I need to hire Adam too … I haven’t been to the gym in months.

@Rebecca – That’s awesome. Was your board able to provide more accountability for you?

and thanks! I’m really excited with how it turned out.

@Alannah – Thank you! How long have you been working with Adam? And how did you connect with him?

Dorie,

From a fellow MBTer…I hear you. VERY well written, and congrats on the progress – kick some butt, even if it’s your own!

Accountability is huge! I’m grappling with that as well. Since I lead an organization I have no co-workers and my board lets me do whatever. At my performance review, I actually asked for more accountability. I think it’s important for two reasons – one, it helps you get things done, and two, it shows that someone cares that you’re getting things done.

Love the new design too

@Deb – The level of personal accountability I get from MyBodyTutor is amazing. There’s something about the conversations I have enjoyed with Adam over the past month that has helped me more than I realized. The daily accountability makes it really hard for me to just glaze over my mistakes. Send Adam an email and see if his program might work for you. I think you’ll be amazed by it too.

@Carm – So the next time you come to Philly, we can work out together? Cause that would be awesome. And we still have to take a spinning class together

Indeed. I am struggling myself right now to get back onto the accountability bandwagon. Shanna has promised to help me, but I also know I need to watch myself. On the weight-front, I loved the accountability I was getting from my Weight Watchers meetings, and since the beginning of the year through June, I had lost 26 pounds. Now I believe I’ve probably packed at least 5 of those back on and am gearing up to send myself back to WW because someone needs to help keep me from eating an entire bag of Oreos in one sitting. Enter accountability.
