We are creatures of habit, captives of our own inertia. While we may want to change, it’s not long until our habits lure us back to our comfort zone and we let ourselves off the hook. We set New Year’s resolutions to change and by January 10th we resort to our old ways. This is why such a small percentage of our intentions translate to new habits and powerful behaviors.

While change may begin in our minds, we must alter our behavior to really change our lives. To change our lives from where we are to where we want to be, we must do things differently.

The inertia of habit that holds us captive is best challenged by an outside force. Universal Accounting Center’s® coaching is that outside force that holds us accountable and empowers us to change our ways of thinking, of feeling, of doing.

What Is A Coach?

  • A coach is a teacher
  • A coach is a tactician.
  • A coach is a strategist.
  • A coach is a motivator.
  • A coach gets you where you want to go.
