module
accountability
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own.” – Benjamin Disraeli
context
This module runs 12 weeks. It’s a reporting system that follows any of the workshops to give participants a lived experience of repeated success, so that they learn new behaviours at a deep level. It addresses the problem of a one-off knowledge event that’s forgotten by next Monday.
RATIONALE
The experience rewires the brain in a way that knowledge can not. It builds self-efficacy – the confidence that you can perform a task. That’s a key component of accountability. The other essential ingredient is integrity.
This is not just the ability to be your word, it’s the capacity to honestly acknowledge what is so about your results. Because you can report results and fudge them, or blame the circumstances. In doing so you undermine the game you’re playing. Reporting in this program is a sandbox for integrity and for some participants, this will be the biggest breakthrough.
FORMAT
People do a workshop and adopt a new habit.
For twelve weeks they report by SMS – did they do their weekly task? Results show on a corporate dashboard, accessible by all who are reporting.
Optionally, they attend an online Q&A after two weeks and an online debrief at the conclusion of the program.
