Ep 165: Co-Parenting with Elaine & David: Real Strategies to Improve Family Dynamics

Welcome to Episode 165 of Parenting With Impact with Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster! This week’s guest is David Taylor-Klaus, an entrepreneur and leader who works with employees and staff to redefine and reach new levels of success.
David Taylor-Klaus reintroduces Successful Entrepreneurs and Senior Executives to their families. A serial entrepreneur, David is recognized for combining candor, intelligence, and humor with masterful coaching. He challenges leaders and their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in their professional and personal lives.
David has lived with depression and ADHD for most of his life giving him a deep understanding of, and compassion for, the neurodivergence that is so common among entrepreneurs and maverick leaders.
When David’s life work is done, no entrepreneur nor maverick leader will need to experience what he did: standing on the proverbial bridge wondering how they ever got so lost … David and his wife Elaine (also a best-selling author and professional coach), are "up-until-COVID empty-nesters" now living in the heart of Atlanta with their two dogs and an ever-changing array of their three children. Their life is rich and full!
His best-selling book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life" is available on Amazon.
Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with David Taylor-Klaus about ADHD, co-parenting, and coaching.
What To Expect This Week:
-David emphasizes the importance of talking to your children about everything and allowing them to share their thoughts and feelings openly.
-David and Elaine stress practicing active listening instead of constantly directing or correcting. Stay curious about their thoughts and experiences without imposing your own agenda. This helps build trust and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
-David and Elaine understand parenting, especially in a collaborative manner, requires significant time, effort, energy, and attention. It's essential to prioritize self-care and recharge your own resources to effectively support your children in their growth and development.
