The Power of Accountability is incredible because it seems as though with a little accountability we could accomplish great things. This topic came because of a story I want to share with you coming from one of my clients. Now most of us know the pressure of being in a work environment where co-workers and even customers and clients are bringing in all types of goodies, treats and unhealthy snacks. So my clients to me when someone offers them something unhealthy, they say ‘no thank you, if I eat that, I’ll have to tell Drew I ate that’. I thought this was so simple it’s genius. Here’s the issue, many of us know what it feels like when we eat something unhealthy. We feel guilt, we usually get a sugar boost, then a crash, have little energy and struggle to get through the day. There’s a good majority of people that actually want to avoid this but problem is, we have so much external pressure to try this or eat that so we don’t hurt someone’s feelings.
