Network Magazine summer 2014 | Page 4

Who are you accountable to? We’re approaching that time of year when every man and his dog takes stock of their lives and resolves to do some things differently, better, from this point on. Ideally, of course, if we recognise the need to change or improve a behaviour we won’t wait until an arbitrary date to do it, but the fact that many of us at least identify areas for improvement must be positive, mustn’t it? If only more of us could turn our good intentions into actions… Reasons for failing to either instigate, or stick to, a healthy change can be manifold, but a common factor for many is lack of accountability. Indeed, in addition to the technical skills and motivation provided by fitness professionals to clients and members, the accountability they provide is also key to their client’s progress. How about you? Will you be making any resolutions, for your personal and professional life – and who will keep you accountable? Personally, I’m making the pledge to manage my time more effectively – and I’ve just told you this, so you can hold me to account! I’ll let you know how I go.
