Everything You Need to Know About Our Private 1 to 1 Dad Coaching

One to one coaching can feel like a big investment, and I understand that if you’re going to invest your money you want to know if this is right for you. So before I give you the chance of setting up a 1 to 1 call to explore your options, I want you to take the time to understand more about what we offer and why.

Founder of Inspiring Dads

An overview of our 1 to 1 coaching.

Inspiring Dads specialises in paternity coaching for businesses and organisations, supporting ‘first year fathers’ to process the emotional and practical upheaval of fatherhood, regardless of whether they are first time dads or more experienced / worn out (!)

It helps them understand and navigate their way through the immediate stress and worry, building solid foundations and high quality, equitable relationships for the future. But that’s not all we do - we work with dads throughout their dad journey.

At the heart of all our client work Is:

“how to be a great dad, without sacrificing a great career?”

Dads benefit from a judgment free environment which supports open and honest conversations, exploring the pressures of modern day fatherhood. With the NCT reporting that the number of men who become depressed in the first year after becoming a dad is double that of the general population and 1 in 10 dads-to-be will also become depressed during their partner’s pregnancy, it’s clear that supporting new dads is crucial to help them feel more confident, involved, and valued in their role as parents. This support contributes to healthier family dynamics, strengthens the bond between father and child, and fosters a more inclusive parenting culture, benefiting both the individual and the wider community.

We deliver coaching to organisations including:

What problems Can Our Coaching solve? 

How to manage the emotional and practical impacts of fatherhood.

How to build meaningful and balanced relationships at home.

Coping with the childcare logistics of being part of a dual-income couple.

How to be successful at work and at home.

Defining and maintaining healthy workplace boundaries.

Who is this for?

You want to discover your values, priorities and authentic purpose.

You are ready to develop your communication skills and nurture key relationships.

You need to create a work life ‘balance’ that delivers the priorities that really matter to you.

You need practical tips for juggling work / life balance within the family context.

But, it’s Time to be honest…

1 to 1 coaching isn’t going to be for everyone. You’ve got to be ready to make a change, to take action and you’ve also got to ready to be emotionally vulnerable, honest with yourself and honest with me.

If you can’t let go of your thoughts and let me in then it’s not going to work. In short you need to trust me and trust yourself.

That’s why we jump on a free call first, to discover if the chemistry is there.

Once we start - it’s not just about talking, it’s about taking action. I’ll be your guide but it can’t do it for you.

Your goals, your action, your success


What could you use coaching for?

Taking Your leave…

  • Reflecting on your hopes and fears of fatherhood.

  • Strengthen relationships at work in preparation for taking leave and minimise impact on career.

  • Creating and communicating a handover plan.

  • Keeping in touch during leave to ensure continued visibility where appropriate.

  • Setting up a support network and communication plan.

  • Preparing for the parental leave ‘culture shock.’ Two long stints as a stay at home makes me particularly well qualified on this subject!

Returning from leave…

  • ‘Reconnecting’ – sharing of experiences, highs and lows and key lessons.

  • Assessing options for returning to work.

  • Understanding any changes in personal and family values.

  • Preparing ‘return to work’ meetings with managers.

  • Preparing for the return to work – the practical considerations (childcare, contingency plans, time management)

  • Working on relationships and visibility.

    Longer term objectives…

  • Identifying the benefits and challenges of work to you and your family.

  • Are all the factors that lead to a longer-term healthy work / family ‘balance’ in place?

  • Assessing and understanding career direction (and changes to the plan).

  • Assessing time management skills needed for managing work / family ‘balance’.

  • Identifying and managing stress points.
