Accountability Groups - A Superpower for Achieving Goals

We are hardwired to respond to social triggers that are almost impossible to resist. Accountability groups leverage our social natures for our advantage.

When we share a specific goal in front of people, which we do in Accountability sessions, we set up powerful and invisible motivational forces that power us to achieve those goals. This is the essence of what an Accountability Group is.

What to Bring: A curious mind, and an idea of what you'd like to achieve by the following week, and courage to speak it in front of others. If needed, goals will be refined in the session to be specific, measurable, actionable, and meaningful (to you).

What: During this session you will learn about what an accountability group is, how it benefits participants, and you will have the chance to try it out. Specifically, we will spend about 20 min talking about what these groups are, ask/answer questions, discuss the structure of an efficient session, do a test run and then, if you would like to, participate in a real one at 11:45 (if you want to try it out you commit to following up the next week).

Who this is for: This is for you if you'd like to accomplish more and more easily.

Time: arrive at 10:55, start at 11:00. If your expected arrival time is more than 10 minutes past the top of the hour please plan to come a different day. This session will be offered again.

Cost: buy something at the cafe or leave a tip. Nothing is being sold, and there's no hidden agenda, participation going forward is optional (and no cost other than buying something at the cafe).

LOCATION for those who have RSVPd only: Restaurante terraza El Paseo, C. Sagunto, 3, 35010

Interesting but Unessential information:
Popular authors like James Clear (Atomic Habits), Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), and William James recommend accountabilities: 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.
