With a little help from...

Jon Burr, friend, father, chef, fellow coach, and all-round Good Egg has pitched in with his support. This is a great boon to me. He's a mate, we trained together, and he's also coached fathers. He's given me lots of ideas and reading to pursue. Speaking with him's awoken me to the need for coaches specializing in working with dads. Coaching involves a close relationship between coach and client, and having stuff in common is very helpful. Things as major as your gender and being a parent naturally have an impact on how you see the world. So if you're a dad and you've got a coach, even if it's for something not directly about parenting, it might be wise to choose a coach who's a dad too. Hmm.
