00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.540
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening,

00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.600
everybody, and welcome to today's episode of

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.440
the Never Peak Project Podcast. I'm your California

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.300
Coastside Coach, Coach Ranger, coming at you

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:11.839
from the Opportunity Center of the Coastside

00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.580
here in downtown Half Moon Bay. And today's going

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.339
to be a little bit of a speed episode as we talk

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:20.399
a little bit about accountability and the five

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.399
-step process that I use to hold myself accountable,

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.399
especially going from breakdowns to get to a...

00:00:27.690 --> 00:00:30.829
breakthrough or from failures to turn that into

00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:33.810
feedback. It's a five -step process that I came

00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:36.929
up with my coach a few years ago. And even if

00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:40.340
I don't necessarily use it frame by frame, Just

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:41.960
having this awareness and knowledge has been

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.840
insanely impactful for me, my business, and relationships,

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:48.520
personal life endeavors, everything in between.

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.679
So just to really jump into it, the 5 A's is

00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.320
a framework that I use when something doesn't

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.619
go my way. After an event that doesn't go well

00:00:57.619 --> 00:01:01.200
happens, after I get feedback that I don't particularly

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.099
enjoy, it really just helps me. Remember what

00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:08.819
it is that I'm really doing and why I'm doing

00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:11.200
it to begin with. I do personally believe that

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.140
all feedback, regardless of if it's negative

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.799
or positive, it's just information. And anything

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.099
else that you tell yourself about it is a story

00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:24.939
that you are making up. If you fail a test, I

00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:27.280
failed the test. And then if you add those things

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.840
like I'm so stupid or ignorant or dumb or whatever,

00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:32.760
that is the story. That doesn't help you with

00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.370
anything. That's something that I struggle with

00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:37.870
a lot. After my very first pesticides class,

00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:41.049
we ran an hour late. And there's tech issues

00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:44.489
and translation issues and this and that. I've

00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:46.090
never really worked with a translator before,

00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:49.030
so that was something I had to get used to. So

00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:52.090
that was wild. But I just kind of walked through

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:55.030
this five -step process. And that process is,

00:01:55.209 --> 00:02:01.140
number one, awareness. And that very first step

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:05.739
is just awareness, being aware that what you're

00:02:05.739 --> 00:02:08.639
doing is good, right? Like remembering, hey,

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.460
like I'm trying here. Like there is that possibility

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:14.419
that things may not go my way and that there

00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:16.139
is something to learn from this, like having

00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:19.520
a positive awareness of the situation. The second

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:25.560
step is acceptance, right? Like the thing didn't

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.439
go my way and I got to just accept that. No story,

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.419
no fluff. Just just just data. No shame. Right.

00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.020
So the third step after acceptance is agency.

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:39.979
Right. Is I get to choose how I respond. Right.

00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.000
Like I get to decide what happens next. It's

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.699
kind of that whole idea of like extreme accountability,

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.479
like everything that happens in my life is for

00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.900
me, by me, because of me. Therefore, how do we

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:53.659
make this the most effective as possible? Like

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:57.439
I have the most choice in my life. The fourth

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.740
one is action, is, okay, I have awareness, I

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:04.240
have acceptance, I have agency. Now, what am

00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.139
I going to actually do about it? What are we

00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:09.520
going to create from this, right? And then the

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.259
next one is just straight up accountability,

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.199
right? Like, how am I going to hold myself accountable?

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:18.360
How am I going to make sure that these lessons

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.159
and these learnings that I've gained from this

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.780
experience are not... wasted. So those are the

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:26.439
five A's, awareness, acceptance, agency, action,

00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:29.000
and accountability. And really the whole thing

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.139
can just be like lumped up in this one statement

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:36.500
of life happens. You get to decide what happens

00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:42.889
next. That is the... caring lesson for today

00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:46.770
in this under five minute episode. So thank you

00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:48.750
