TRAINING DETAILS:
Research that shows that accountability is one of the key indicators of successful goal achievement. When a person sets a goal, but doesn’t share it with anyone, there’s a greater likelihood they will give up on the goal and choose an easier path. In the process of coaching and goal setting, accountability is one of the foundations of the client-coach relationship. The coach’s role in the process is to act as an informed partner and a compassionate motivator, not a rigid disciplinarian. In this session we will explore the importance of accountability to client success, and identify ways to create solid accountability plans with them.
Partcipants will be able to:
- Describe why accountability is a critical factor for success in coaching
- Identify the characteristics of an effective accountability partnership (informed partner and compassionate motivator) versus a rigid or punitive approach
- Utilize coaching practices that hold clients able empowering them to take ownership of their commitments through self-reflection, resource identification, and supportive follow-up conversations
Who Should Attend: Leaders of family resource centers (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.

Las investigaciones demuestran que la responsabilidad es uno de los indicadores clave para alcanzar con éxito los objetivos. Cuando una persona se fija un objetivo y no lo comparte con nadie, es más probable que acabe renunciando a él y eligiendo la opción más fácil. En el proceso de formación y establecimiento de objetivos, la responsabilidad es uno de los pilares de la relación entre el cliente y el instructor (coach). El instructor debe actuar como un socio informado y un motivador compasivo, no como alguien que impone una disciplina estricta. En esta sesión, exploraremos la importancia de la responsabilidad para el éxito del cliente e identificaremos formas de crear con él planes de responsabilidad sólidos.
- Los participantes podrán explicar por qué la responsabilidad es un factor clave para el éxito en el proceso de coaching.
- Identificarán las características de una asociación de responsabilidad eficaz (socio informado y motivador compasivo) frente a un enfoque rígido o punitivo.
- Se utilizarán prácticas de entrenamiento que permitan a los clientes asumir la responsabilidad de sus compromisos a través de la autorreflexión, la identificación de recursos y conversaciones de apoyo del seguimiento.
