This is the most powerful formula I know to bring flow to your family home (ASAP)

Written by

This is the most powerful formula I know to bring flow to your family home

Awareness + Skills + Action = Possibilty (or flow)

  • But what is this thing called awarness?
  • What role do skills play?
  • And what action must you take to bring it all together?

In this interview with Christpoher Nevill (an expert in the field of personal development and accessing your better potential), I explore with him this critical role of awareness in parenting and how my parenting skills build upon his work.

length: 14:22

I have done many interviews with him and you can find many of them here
