In this episode…

Being a new parent is a blessing but it comes with considerable responsibility. It is difficult to prepare for the challenges of parenthood, leading many fathers and mothers to feel lost. The result is a series of narratives that attempt to categorize and brace parents for what is to come. Some of these are helpful, but many are not. So what should you believe when stepping into that role?

In this special episode of Access To Anyone, Michael Roderick pivots from business to discuss parental thought leadership with James Williams, an experienced coach and consultant. The two dive deep into the common narratives of parenthood, which ones can hinder rather than help, and how to be the best parent you can be. They also touch on their personal experiences as fathers and how it applies to their lives and careers.
