The Theory of Accountability™

The Theory of Accountability^TM recasts the well-known formula of E=mc² as the Accountability Equation, which holds the secret to inspiring a radical transition in how individuals show up in their own lives to accomplish their purpose and serve others. This equation reveals that the Experience we create is the result of the Mindset we embrace and the exponential impact of our Commitment. By attending to the three critical factors that determine the level of accountability in one’s life, organization, and community, readers will discover how to design and step into a future that is firmly grounded in a clear sense of purpose and possibility.

Accountability is a way of thinking about people through the lens of Experience, Mindset, and Commitment.” When individuals and leaders actively create the future they want to live, frame their mindset around abundance rather than fear, and take persistent, relentless action in support of the experience they are generating, their beliefs, and their relationships, they will experience personal and organizational transformation unlike any other!
