💥"That time in the car [after sport] not talking about [sport] paved the way for the closeness we have in their 20's & 30's" 💥 Who is going to coach the parents at your school on how to use those car journeys well? Get in touch if you want impacting help with that.

📚 A great session doesn’t end when parents walk out the door. When you book me, every talk includes practical, post-event resources, so the learning embeds, the momentum continues, and families can take the next step with confidence. Ready for impact ?
