Keynote: "The Most Annoying Lesson to Learn"
summary
Parenting forces a set of concrete leadership experiments and measurable fixes: claim that being forced out of comfort zones makes better managers, evidence from a bedtime tweak where adding an arm around while reading stops meltdowns, tools like a picture chart by the door and skip-levels with a rotating question, a week off that restores patience, and an anger-management class that explains amygdala vs prefrontal cortex. Each tactic is actionable, tested at home and adapted to team routines and comms.
