I am thrilled to be joined by Andy Shepherd, an ex-forces Medic and breakthrough coach, and Bob Gualtieri, a trainee coach and mental well-being advocate. Together, we are diving deep into a vital topic: Fatherhood.
As Matthew Buckley beautifully puts it, "Being a father means you have to think fast on your feet. You must be informed, wise, brave, tender, and willing to put on a frilly hat and sit down to a pretend tea party." This quote captures the essence of fatherhood and the multitude of qualities it demands.
Fatherhood transcends the boundaries of biology; it is a journey of immense significance that shapes the lives of both men and their children. In this discussion, we will explore the true meaning of being a father and delve into the profound responsibilities that men face when they embrace this pivotal role.
Join us as we explore the nurturing bonds fathers establish, the importance of role modelling, the guidance and mentorship they provide, and the essential responsibilities they carry. We will also discuss the impact of bad parenting from a father and how we can strive to be the fathers our children deserve.
