Why Accountability is Not a Dirty Word | Christi Scarrow | TEDxWestoverHills

Christi Scarrow adventures boldly into a challenge that faces us all; how to hold others accountable. She dares us to act differently, working against our natural instincts of blaming others or avoiding the difficult conversations. Her heart-felt stories remind us of the impact of not getting it right. She challenges us to stop thinking of accountability as a dirty word and instead as the ultimate act of respect. Christi Scarrow is a consultant, executive coach, keynote speaker and best-selling author of the book Truth Warriors. She is the Managing Partner at a consulting firm in Toronto called Lighthouse NINE Group, where she also leads the Insights & Organizational Accountability practice. Christi is passionate about creating a world where collaboration overcomes conflict and healthy debate overtakes division. She believes that accountability should be used for good, not evil. Her goal is to help others to feel committed to their goals, comfortable in their mistakes and able to inspire others to do the same. When she is not working at changing the world, she can be usually be found at the hockey rink with her three children.
