Doug Manning On Proactive Parenting

Life

This post by Doug Manning of Proactive Living hit me hard. As a father of two girls (one on the cusp of hitting the pre-adolescent phase), I’m always mindful of how I’m doing as a dad. I immediately showed it to my wife and we both just took a deep sigh, which usually signifies a "whoa" moment for us. If you’re a parent, take a moment and read Doug’s entry on Proactive Parenting.

Thanks Doug for the reminder of how much good we can do as parents, as well as how much harm we can do when we hang on to our own dreams and illusions of how our kids should be.

I help business leaders and their organizations improve how they relate to their customers, employees, and other critical stakeholders. It’s born out of my belief that individuals crave meaningful relationships and want to be involved with companies that connect with them personally. I’m devoted to helping organizations discover the unique qualities that make them remarkable.

I’m currently a Master’s student at the University of North Texas studying business anthropology.
