You know what to do. This is about it getting done.
A short, regular check-in against things you have committed to, with someone who notices when you go quiet. The smallest programme we run, and the one people are most sceptical about beforehand.
- Three or four commitments, with dates
- A short check-in every week or fortnight
- The blocker named, not the excuse
- Reviewed at ninety days against week one
- The lightest programme we run
- Step up or down at any point
For when you already know what to do
Most owners do not have an information problem. They know the price should go up, the debtor should be chased, the hire should be made, the subscription should be cancelled. It just never reaches the top of the day.
Accountability coaching is the cheapest programme we run because it is the smallest one. A short, regular check-in against things you said you would do, with someone who will notice and ask.
Deliberately light
- 1You set the commitments
Three or four things, each with a date. Not a strategy document — a list you would be embarrassed to read out unchanged next week.
- 2A weekly or fortnightly check-in
Short. Done, not done, and why not. The reason something did not happen is usually the most useful thing in the call.
- 3The blocker gets named
Nine times in ten it is one of three things: it is unpleasant, it is unclear, or it belongs to someone else and has not been asked for.
- 4It gets reviewed at ninety days
Against what you actually said in week one, which we wrote down.
A fair question, honestly answered
If you consistently do what you say you will do without anyone asking, no. Nothing here will tell you something you do not know.
If you have started three of the last five things and finished none of them, then the missing ingredient is not information and buying more strategy will not supply it. This is the programme people are most sceptical about beforehand and rate most highly afterwards, which is worth knowing.
It is also the natural step down from a bigger programme. Several clients finish six months of one-to-one coaching and move onto this to hold the gains.
What people ask about accountability coaching
How long is a session?
Short by design — a check-in rather than a meeting. Long enough to go through what was committed, what happened, and what is in the way.
What if I have not done anything?
Then that is the conversation, and it is a more useful one than a list of excuses would suggest. Nobody is told off. What we are looking for is the pattern in what does not get done.
Can I move up to a bigger programme?
Yes, either way round. Plenty of people start here and move to one-to-one coaching once it is clear the issue is the plan rather than the follow-through, and plenty come down to this after six months of something bigger.
What does it cost?
It is the lightest of the five programmes and priced accordingly. You get the figure on the discovery call.
