Accountability Session 1 : September 5, 2019 : WAKE UP WITH A WIN

First Exercise: worksheet (first 20 mins)

Holding everyone else accountable as well as yourself!

-without judgement

*Do you have your worksheet printed out and filled in? How does that make you feel as an accountabilibuddy?

*Personal Present (PPR), Personal Past (PP), Professional Future (PF). Good to practice having a general focus when asked the dreaded "tell me about yourself" question, you can fall back on these 3 prompts. Save the ones you like, don't stress if you didn't like your answer this time around!
