Richard Shorter (AKA Non Perfect Dad) is back to help me celebrate 'Parents In Sport Week' and also because we have a special announcement to make about a new free course that we have created called 'Conversations 4 Growth' that is designed to support sports parents and coach parents to navigate the complexity of supporting and guiding young people through their sporting journey. The course comprises of 10 short 2-3 minute conversations between Richard and myself exploring a challenging discussion topic that we have faced in our interactions with our children.

The course can be accessed at www.conversations4growth.co.uk

In this podcast episode we cover a LOT of ground...

- Why most parent engagement is the equivalent of 'cones and drills' or 'beige food at parties'
- Actionable steps to create a more inclusive and engaging environment for parental engagement
- The 'Iceberg approach' to tackling challenging parental behaviours
- Using Professor Jeff French's behaviour change framework to support parental engagement - how to use a 'firm nudge'

Hope you enjoy
