Getting matched with an accountability partner involves forming a partnership with another member, where you mutually agree to coach each other, provide feedback and hold each other accountable on a regular basis.

When you decide to hold yourself accountable to another person, it’s crucial that you make an intentional decision to let go of the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that could hold you back. Accept the fact that your future and your results are in your hands!

There are no requirements for how you should work with your accountability partner, that will depend on your mutual schedules, preferences and styles. Just make sure to set a regular schedule for checking in with each other.

You might want to plan weekly or monthly calls, but you might also find that simply texting each other and staying in touch regularly is also a great way to stay connected and on track. Be open to working with someone from a different background, who can bring a new or unique perspective to your journey.

This is completely up to you and your partner to decide!

If you both feel you’ve found your perfect match, then there’s absolutely no need to switch to a new partner. The longer your partnership goes on, the more beneficial and rewarding it will become!

If you feel that you would prefer to work with a different member, then let your partner know and feel free to sign up to be re-matched with a new partner.

It’s totally normal to sign up a few times and is a great way for you both to get new opportunities and insights, so don’t take it as a rejection if you need to sign up again.

Don’t be afraid of rejection… see this as an opportunity to make new friends and get supported in your goals.

There is no expectation to stick with the first partner you have. Give each other space to search around for a partnership until it feels perfect for everyone. This might take a few tries and that’s okay.

You can sign up for a new partner each month until you find a mutually benefitial partnership. Just let your partner know if you’d like to end and don’t take it personally if your partner communicates this to you as well. We all want the best for ourselves and each other.

● Your sessions with an accountability partner are like having a cheer leader and coach, with time to talk over your issues and receive personalized feedback. It’ll be fun to grow together and have fun, but you’ll get the most from your partnership when you set goals together and work toward accomplishing them with your partner there to cheer you on and speak truth to help you grow.

● Create a joint agenda prior to your calls, allowing dedicated time slots to go through everything you’d each like to cover. This might include praying together, sharing challenges, or addressing goals as well.

● Make sure you both get a chance to update the other on your progress, your wins, the challenges you’re facing and anything you’d like to receive feedback on. The more open and honest you are, the more you can grow.

● Once you’ve reviewed your progress and shared your wins, it’s time to commit to your accountability plan with a list of what you will both work on achieving in time for your next call.

● At the end of the call, confirm the date and time of your next catch-up and make sure it is scheduled in your calendars.

● Remember that relationship is built on trust and honesty… with fun too! Get serious together to hold each other accountable to goals and progress, support each other being a shoulder to lean on, then create and laugh together.
