In this episode of the Health Coach Show, we look at accountability and tracking and discuss:
People often come to coaches because they say they need accountability and while health coaches can provide accountability, the goal of health coaching is to move our clients from being accountable TO US, to being SELF ACCOUNTABLE, and tracking is a way to achieve this.
Tracking can be useful for promoting self accountability and awareness. When we track our behaviour, we become aware of our patterns, thoughts and triggers.
Tracking can also be useful when you have started a new positive behaviour and tracking the behaviour or outcome creates positive enforcement.
Checking in about whether a client would like to track and how they would like to track can be incorporated into the action planning part of the consultation.
