Summary

This is episode 1087 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen and guest coach Christopher Avery, PhD, who lives in Austin, Texas. Christopher is a CEO, author, mentor, and speaker. He is the CEO and founder of the Responsibility Company with a fashionable website, Responsibility.com. He teaches personal responsibility and the paradigm of owning it, where you are either above or below the line, and he teaches individuals and organizations how to get above the line. He supports evolving leaders, coaches, and leadership teams who want to be wise faster, and intend to lead themselves and others to results that matter. Christopher has published two books. One called "Teamwork is an Individual Skill" and "The Responsibility Process." Much of his early professional work involved working with IT teams implementing Agile processes.

In the interview, we explore Christopher's journey from IT management consulting to executive coaching and responsibility mentoring. We also explore the difference between coping it and owning it. We discuss how personal responsibility means "Owning your ability and power to create, choose, and attract." We explore what it means to be above or below the line. And we talk about the harmful states of denial, blame, justification, shame, quitting, and obligation which are traits that keep one from being truly accountable.
