In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk to Jon Gordon about the power of positive leadership within our own families. How we choose to lead our families have a profound influence on our children’s quality of life. Taking the time to invest in building our relationships with them and building their own leadership skills can give our children an edge for creating a greater impact in their own lives later on. We also explore the role we as parents should be playing when it comes to our children’s extracurricular activities and not just sports.
