  • Thriving Dads are Good for Business

    Thriving Dads are Good for Business

    Spokane Fatherhood Initiative helps men become better dads, who also become better employees. Committed, dedicated fathers who are connected to their families make good employees. Responsible Fatherhood programs, like those offered by SpoFI, not only improve fathers’ economic prospects but also foster valuable social connections and support networks. This comprehensive approach enhances fathers’ stability, dependability, and longevity as employees, presenting a strong case for business sponsorship.

    What emotion causes the most damage in relationships? I’d vote for anger.

    An angry outburst can inflict emotional damage that often becomes an emotional strain that lasts decades. I was recently blessed to have a conversation about how we teach overcoming anger at SpoFI with Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield, am amazing author, speaker, blogger and counselor, who’s professional career has focused on father-daughter relationships.
