Inspired Accountability – Engaging Others through Line-of-Sight Motivation and Leadership

Overview:

Inspired accountability is an inside-out drive that, once ignited, creates the best assurance of change and results. This course provides the foundations to energize that potential.

The ‘Duchenne smile’ is among the most influential of human expressions. Research shows it can elevate mood; lower stress; and, create connection. It’s that inside-out smile that crinkles the corners of your eyes and lifts your cheeks with laugh lines. You can feel it; but you can’t fake it.

Inspired accountability is like that. It’s the ultimate ‘control’ because it cannot be coerced. It’s an internal drive to keep going, beyond struggle or setback. It’s the ultimate challenge for the leader or strategist, responsible for the transdisciplinary coordination of business and people – to cultivate inside-out accountability, as truly the only way to achieve greater assurance of change and results.
