Peer Accountability Groups That Get Results
ACT is an accountability group for living life more deliberately through goal setting, personal coaching, and experiencing the power of your word. You have the ongoing opportunity to focus on and commit to your goals, particularly your medium and long-term goals, which many people say do not get enough attention. The team structure and beneficial social pressure support you in following through with your agreements to an uncommon degree. They assist you in becoming the person you aspire to be and in intentionally creating the best version of your life.
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
-Abraham Lincoln
MORE ABOUT ACT
HOW IT WORKS
ACT groups consist of teams of 6 -10 people that meet once a week for 30 minutes. Each person decides what their focus and intention for the 8-week session is.
Every week you make a to-do list of the actions you are committed to taking that week towards your goals. Players then coach each other to clarify the action items, make a plan for accomplishing each one, and for doing whatever it takes that week to keep those commitments.

FAQ: WHO IS ACT FOR?
ACT is for anyone that would like support and accountability in clearly setting, steadily moving towards, and accomplishing medium-term and long-term goals.
If you have a nagging feeling of anxiety or dissatisfaction that you aren’t making enough headway on certain goals or that you know you could accomplish more and live a fuller life, ACT may be just the ticket!
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

ABOUT US
Masen Yaffee brings over 25 years of experience as a teacher, mentor, and coach to this work. He is committed to supporting people in achieving their goals and dreams.
Masen is passionate about people experiencing the power of keeping their word, i.e., of making and keeping clear agreements, and of being a part of a community of like minded individuals who empower and inspire each other.
“When you make and keep agreements with extreme consistency, your brain begins to form the association that whatever you say you will do, happens. From this you realize, with clarity and confidence, that all you have to do is speak a commitment and it will occur.”
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
-William Hutchison Murray
ACT has shifted the way that I approach getting things done and my personal integrity in life. It provided a platform for me to reflect on what I really want and to create an action plan to achieve those goals. The process is not always gentle or easy, however it has been wonderful to meet a group of like-minded but diverse people to help refine my long and short term goals.
Masen has been a wonderful mentor and friend in my process of personal and professional development. I am deeply grateful for the integrity and clarity that he shows up with and the insights that he has brought to my life. Not to mention that he’s just a good looking, fun human.

The experience of giving my word to my coach and being held accountable has improved the quality of my life in every way. I hold myself to a higher standard of integrity because I’ve seen the magic that happens when I keep promises to myself.
Composing music for TV and film involves tight deadlines and a stressful schedule, and I have trained myself to write faster by setting targets in my weekly ACT list. I have used ACT to create new habits and break old habits, find my best creative workflow, plan my wedding, learn a foreign language, and finally clean out my garage so I could park in it. Once something is on my ACT list, it’s absolutely getting done – maybe even with ease and fun.
Cindy O’Connor
Composer & Music Director for Film, TV, and Theater
I’ve always been driven but ACT has provided me the small, actionable steps and accountability structure to make my dreams a reality.
I started ACT at 28 without any savings or direction. 10 years later, I’ve invested in several real estate ventures which have nearly doubled in value, established a daily meditation practice, and I have strengthened my relationship with my husband through marriage, the birth of 2 children, fires, mudslides and a global pandemic. ACT has kept me on track and supported me in prioritizing my selfcare and dreams while moving through the day-to-day activities of life.

Action Coaching Teams (ACT) has been a lifesaver for me. I’ve always found it easy to get inspired, and to inspire other people. But turning that inspiration into accountable results is another level of the game we can play.
Masen Yaffee and his team at ACT have ironed out all the kinks, and developed a highly sophisticated process to hold people accountable to their word. I can’t recommend it enough.

Participating in ACT for the past 5 years has been invaluable. Holding myself accountable and being accountable to others allows me to live my life – day to day – with integrity and authenticity.
I appreciate meeting weekly with others who are 100% committed to living their lives in a BIG way and to keeping their word. Leading a team as well has been an inspiring and uplifting experience for me. I am truly grateful for ACT and all those who continue to play and are dedicated to living life with integrity.

I have been doing ACT for almost 20 years with Masen. I have used it to make positive movement in both my professional and personal life that I wouldn’t ever have been able to make without the structure of ACT. I am self employed and ACT has been a super important part of making my business successful.
Steven Abbey
President, Helios Solar Development, LLC
Before leading and participating in ACT, my husband was not able to maintain consistency in his personal and professional daily routines including exercise, meditation, and his action steps towards his business goals. Through ACT, many of these behaviors have become normal habits and a built in part of his life.
The part I personally love the most is that he is 100% dead on in completing all of the tasks on his ‘honey do’ list every single week, even the ones I wouldn’t have considered asking him to do. I can say a side benefit of ACT is me loving him even more!
Barbara Yaffee
Seminar Leader, Teacher, Astrologer, Blogger,
Being with a group of people on a weekly basis, where we are all deeply committed to our word and our actions no matter what, has had a profound impact on my personal life.
I have been able to push through the resistance I had to meeting new people, to asking people to take action, and to sharing my true feelings with others. ALL of my ACT intentions materialize.
