About the Good Father Program
The Good Father Program is a no cost 1-on-1 coaching program designed for expecting or experienced fathers eager to grow in their parenting and personal relationships.
Each session with a Certified Life Coach builds more opportunity to clarify your values, explore the type of father you want to be for your children, and create small steps toward the future you imagine for yourself and your family.
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Partnering with a Certified Life Coach raises your awareness regarding how you are responding to the people, circumstances, and events around you. Coaching gives you a private, respectful place to think out loud about fatherhood, family, work, relationships, and the pressures you carry. Your coach will listen without judgment, and support you as you choose practical next steps.
We believe in the resourcefulness and ability of our clients to source answers and direction from within themselves regarding the situations they are facing. Our life coaches do not provide advice. Instead, your coach is trained in using meaningful questions to help you discover the life opportunities that align with your values.
WHAT IS MY COMMITMENT
8 one-hour coaching sessions. To gain the most benefit, we recommend meeting with your coach, in person, every 1-2 weeks.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
After completing The Good Father Program, as a thank you for participating, you may chose one of the following:
- A Full-sized Convertible Crib and Mattress
- Pick 2: Infant car seat, stroller, pack 'n' play
An assortment of clothes, diapers, and wipes are available to you as well.
