As 2027 looms, what does your team need to be even MORE outstanding than it is today?
Personal Accountability is a principle we all require, every day, all day long. Infusing this powerful idea into a team benefits every team member, no matter how effective they are already. Wounded feelings, miscommunication, human errors, missed deadlines, and even entitlement/victim thinking all happen in organizations. Life's messiness can lead to blame, finger-pointing, and lower morale. Nothing "disengages" team members faster than stuff like this.
Live training events are still the best way for people to learn, grow, and change, so we're here to help with "Personal Accountability & the QBQ!" based on the #QBQ! book.
If you'd like to plan an event (in-person or virtual), let us know!

A longtime “Personal Accountability & the QBQ!” training client sent this note:
“John, I was reviewing the QBQ! training materials when I was reminded again of critical content my husband and I need more than ever: the ‘ultimate QBQ’ piece. I really need to ask, ‘How can I let go of that which I can’t control?’ Our life has many challenges, and we need to ask this QBQ every day. Thank you for this.”
If someone who thoroughly knows the QBQ! message of Personal Accountability—and has facilitated QBQ! training countless times inside her organization—needs this "reminder," how much value could we all find in The Ultimate QBQ!? ....
“How can I let go of that which I can’t control?”
Imagine using this powerful, accountable question to let go of —
- people we cannot change
- events we cannot control
- a past we cannot alter
- the future we cannot foresee
With so much happening in our lives beyond our control, the “win” of asking The Ultimate QBQ! is focusing intensely on what we CAN affect—ourselves. 👏🏻
This is pure Personal Accountability. Will you ask this #QBQ today?
#QBQbook
This doesn't mean I can't hope someone will change, give them unsolicited advice, or buy them a #QBQ! book .......
It just means I ain't gonna change them! 🙃
Happy Saturday to all.
Someone will always disagree … but we embrace this principle. How 'bout you?

Just a truth to state to myself. How about you? Willing to make this commitment?

One of the saddest movements today is families becoming estranged. In some cases, therapists are pushing adult children to walk away from their parents. Confounding.
Have you seen this?
Kristin, host of the "QBQ! Podcast," recently interviewed Tania Khazaal, an expert on this topic. Tania has a million Facebook followers.
Just 30 minutes—and worth it. Feel free to share this post or the podcast link with everyone you know!

If your plan for the day is to play the victim, whine, blame, finger-point, or procrastinate, we suggest going back to bed. 🛌
Anyone disagree? 😎

Don’t ask, “When are we going to hear something new?” Ask the QBQ, “How can I apply what I’m hearing?”—even if you’ve heard it before.
