Sylvia McLaren · Accountability Coach

Turning Someday into DONEday!

Accountability coaching for people who know what they want to do — they just need help actually doing it.

Get clear on the goal. Create a realistic plan. Keep moving when motivation fades.

Sound familiar?

“I know what I need to do. I’m just not doing it.”

You may have a goal, a dream or a change you want to make. But life gets busy, motivation fades and “someday” keeps getting pushed further away. You don’t necessarily need more information. You may simply need a plan — and someone who will hold you accountable to it.

My method

Dream It. Plan It. Do It.

1

Dream It.

We get crystal clear about what you want to accomplish, why it matters and what success will look like.

2

Plan It.

We turn the goal into realistic milestones and manageable action steps, creating your personalized roadmap.

3

Do It.

This is where accountability changes everything. We track commitments, work through roadblocks and keep you moving.

Your goal. Your life.

What would you love to accomplish?

The goal is yours. My job is to help you keep moving toward it.

  • Start a project or business you keep talking about
  • Make a career or lifestyle change
  • Create healthier habits and routines
  • Finish something you’ve been putting off
  • Make the most of retirement or a new chapter
  • Get organized, focused and moving again
  • Finally act on a dream that matters to you

You don’t need another complicated program. You need clarity, action and accountability.

Meet Sylvia

Accountability Coach. Goal Getter. Believer in “Why not?”

I’ve spent much of my life helping people move forward — first in business, sales and training, and for the past 10 years as a coach.

Along the way, I discovered something important: most of us already know what we want. The hard part is actually doing it.

Life has reminded me recently that none of us is finished writing our story.

This past year, I lost my darling husband, Michael, and suddenly found myself navigating a new beginning of my own. I’m learning firsthand what it means to move forward while honouring what came before — to create new goals, new adventures and new possibilities for the life ahead.

Perhaps that’s why I believe more strongly than ever that a brighter next chapter is always possible.

Today, I bring not only decades of professional experience to my coaching, but life experience too. I understand that taking the next step isn’t always easy. Sometimes we simply need someone beside us to help us decide what comes next — and hold us accountable for making it happen.

That’s where I come in. I help you get clear, break the goal into achievable steps and create the accountability that keeps you moving. I’ll encourage you, challenge you, celebrate your wins — and ask the question you may not want to hear:

“Did you do what you said you were going to do?”

And the little guy beside me? That’s Freddie. He’s pretty good at accountability too — especially when dinner is five minutes late.

Inside the 90-day program

What actually happens during our three months together?

Every other week we meet privately for a deeper coaching session. On the alternate weeks, you receive a focused accountability check-in, so you never simply disappear for two weeks and hope motivation carries you through.

Session 1 · Dream It
Define the goal, why it matters and what success looks like.
Session 2 · Plan It
Build your roadmap, milestones and first action steps.
Session 3 · Build Momentum
Review what happened, what didn’t and what comes next.
Session 4 · Break Through Roadblocks
Work through procrastination, avoidance or changing circumstances.
Session 5 · Progress & Push
Measure progress and create a focused push toward the goal.
Session 6 · I Did It! & What’s Next?
Review results, celebrate progress and create the next-step plan.

Weekly check-ins are not full coaching sessions. They’re short accountability touchpoints by email or text: What did you commit to? Did you do it? Are you done, in progress or stuck? Between-session support is available for brief roadblocks, with clear boundaries so you get support without needing to wait for your next appointment.

Imagine 90 days from now

What could be different?

You don’t have to have everything figured out today. You just have to take the first step.

Maybe you don’t need more time, more motivation or another course. Maybe you need someone in your corner who will help you keep the promises you make to yourself.
