Accountability Groups: A Superpower for Your Goals

Details

This activity might be for you if you'd like to achieve more of your goals without having to learn new tricks, explore your blocks or power through difficulties. Accountability groups take advantage of innate human hardwiring that has us respond to social triggers that are almost impossible to resist. In other words, accountability groups leverage our social natures for our advantage. In this session we will learn a little more about accountability, we'll talk about goal setting and we'll share a specific goal (or goals). The power of accountability is in the practice of it! You'll have the opportunity to set an achievable goal, say it in front of the other participants, and then follow up in a few days to say if you did it or not. We check in online every Saturday and meet in person every other Thursday. What to Bring: A curious mind, any questions, an idea of what you'd like to achieve, and a little courage to speak it in front of others. We usually take time to refine goals to be specific, measurable, actionable, and meaningful (to you). What: You will have the opportunity to learn about what an accountability group is, how it benefits participants, and you will have the chance to try it out. What it isn't: No fixing, rescuing or offering unsolicited advice. Who this is for: This is for you if you'd like to accomplish more and more easily! Time: arrive at 6:15 pm, start at 6:25 pm. If your expected arrival time is more than 10 minutes past the start time, please plan to come a different day. Cost: buy something at the cafe and/or leave a tip. Nothing is being sold, and there's no hidden agenda; participation going forward is optional. LOCATION for those who have RSVPd: La Tortuga (along the Paseo), Las Palmas next to Granier. To receive messages from me for LOCATION or other changes, be sure the setting for that is enabled (or you can send me a message on this platform with your WhatsApp number and I can send it there). Go to your account's Settings in Profile, find Push Notifications or Email Updates and make sure "Messages - Email me when someone sends me a message" is on. You can turn any of the other ones on or off. Interesting but unessential information: Popular authors like James Clear (Atomic Habits), Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), and William James recommend accountability: Clear focuses on the power of outside motivation, Covey popularized the concept of an accountability partner, and James highlighted the strength of a public pledge for motivation.
