StickK To It!

I can't believe it's been soooo long since I've written anything here, but suffice it to say that I've been creating and re-creating a lot these past few months. There will be some interesting, exciting announcements coming soon, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, check out StickK.com. It's a great new site that has you make a personal-growth commitment, and then provide you with a framework to "stick to it!"

My friends at TrendCentral summed it up like this: 

"Developed by two Yale professors with backgrounds in law and economics, the stickK concept is based on the idea that most people will commit to something if either their reputation or their funds are at stake. With this in mind, users are asked to create a Commitment Contract in which they choose a goal and a timeframe, add stakes (completely optional), choose a referee (sister, coworker, etc.) to monitor progress, and choose supporters (your cheering section). The Commitment Journal, in which users leave detailed accounts of their progress (or lack thereof), facilitates an honest, well-documented account of the journey to success or the shameful downward spiral to failure. Add optional stakes? Success gives you your money back, and Failure gives the money to charity (or the lucky someone you've chosen)."

Take a look. You'll like, I promise. It's basically coaching in a box, online, and a whole lot cheaper than hiring me or someone from the Northward Leadership team!
