Does Accountability Mean Hand Holding?
In this podcast episode, I reflect on a conversation with a friend about accountability coaching and handholding. We discuss how handholding, in the context of coaching, isn't about constant guidance but rather about communication and taking action together.
Emphasizing the importance of consistent action and the role of a coach as a guide rather than someone who simply holds your hand through every step. I also share my personal experiences of investing in coaching programs and the value of one-on-one time with a coach, highlighting the difference it makes in progress and fulfillment.

In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.
