What's It About?

A common inside joke in the field of psychology is that childhood or educational psychologists often have the most messed up kids. Similarly, many parenting books may tell you what meconium is or the specific hormones that get released in puberty, yet leave you utterly unprepared to actually raise a child. This talk introduces the concept of framework-based parenting, leveraging the strategies that top executives and business psychologists use to run Fortune 500 companies to help you raise your mischievous progeny. You will leave with a set of overarching principles that can be applied to almost any parenting situation, a few specific examples (that almost every parent has faced), and a renewed hope that you might survive until bedtime without shame-eating Oreos in the back of your closet.

How to juggle all the tasks of parenthood with the demands of business without losing your mind.

Take-Home Points

1. There are only 24 hours in the day (and this rule does apply to you).
2. Parenting is not forever...at least not in the same way.
3. What is right for you (and your kids) and what you think you "should" do are often very different things.

What's It About?

Gone are the days when one parent brought home the bacon and the other sat at home working on their needlepoint. (I'm honestly pretty skeptical those days ever existed in the first place.) Modern day parents have a normal job, a few side hustles, some volunteer work...all on top of their actual parental responsibilities. This has resulted in an immense amount of stress for parents and kids alike, an unprecedented level of complexity in the lives of parenting, and a giant heap of mom guilt no matter which way you allocate your priorities. This seminar teaches parents how to balance all the key areas in their life in a realistic, practical, and actually-feasible way. Parents will learn how to stop feeling guilty for not being everything all at once and start intentionally making a path that they will find fulfilling, liveable, and enjoyable, no matter what other moms post on Facebook.
