I could spend time talking about why people don't take responsibility for their own actions, however people are likely to know the reasons why and if they don't, perhaps they need a Coach?!

I'm much more interested in how taking personal responsibility will support a more positive future for you and those around you.
The Benefits
You understand and own your actions.
You take control of your future vs hanging on to the past.
Helps to build your self esteem.
Empowers you to learn from your mistakes.
You have confidence in yourself to communicate effectively.
Improves communication and builds relationships.
Demonstrates professional and personal attractiveness. (Shows others your confidence).
Proactive in finding solutions rather than blaming others (when they are not at fault anyway!).
You are reliant on yourself for your own happiness.
When did you last...
Say sorry for something which was your mistake?
Take ownership for something that is yours to rectify?
Blame someone else for your own shortcomings?
Take time to understand why you are reluctant to take personal responsibility?
Enjoy playing 'The Victim'
Wow...blaming others for your mistakes and being the 'victim' all the time must be exhausting for you!
Just think how much energy you could save yourself if your default is -
What part did I play in this?
What do I need to do or say to rectify the situation?
Have I done everything I can to improve the situation?
Yes...then I can move on with confidence.
Perhaps you don't quite have the confidence in yourself (for whatever reason this might be) to take responsibility for your actions.
That's OK...get in touch HERE and I'll help you get there.
