Speaking
Keynotes, half day and full day workshops, and virtual sessions.
This is by far the best training of trainers I have been through in my 22 years of social work practice.
I love Nancy’s positive energy, and the fact that it was not just sitting and listening.
More personal, more inspiring, and honestly, more fun.

Why good people freeze when someone needs them, and what it takes to unfreeze a whole room.
They leave with four things they can do the next time they see a parent struggling in public, and enough practice to actually step forward.
The essay 105,000 people read, turned into a room. What a developing brain is actually doing in a meltdown, what a child’s hardest moments are really communicating, and why our instincts get it backwards.
They leave with a way to read a child’s hardest moments as information instead of defiance, and one thing to try before they say a word.
What actually keeps kids safe from sexual abuse, and why the warnings most of us grew up on do not. Built for parents, and for the schools and groups that gather them.
They leave with a parenting posture that helps protect a child, and permission to drop the scare tactics that don’t.
Sticker charts, time outs and consequences, and what the research says each one actually builds. Why connection outperforms both the carrot and the stick, and what to do on the days you have neither the patience nor the time.
They leave with a clear read on what their go-to parenting tactics are actually building, and one replacement they can use by dinner.
What makes it safe enough to say the hard thing out loud, and how teams recover from miscommunication with curiosity instead of blame.
They leave with a felt sense of support and connection that makes the next hard conversation more manageable.
