Can I make my partner go to the class?
I often find myself in conversation with the partner of a dad, who loves the idea and wants to know if they can make their partner do the class. I tell them,
You can try.
Look, it can’t hurt. If you already nag them sometimes, then this won’t feel any different. If you do nice things for them sometimes, then they might see this as you wanting to do something nice for them. They may not show up, but at least they’ll know about it. You never know - maybe down the road they’ll get interested. And who knows…maybe they will show up, and love it….and love you more.

Sometimes change is really hard. You might know you’d like to keep your cool when the kids won’t listen to you, for example. But, no matter how much you want that, nothing seems to change. However, everyone has also had experiences in life where something changed quickly, or even instantly, and forever. It might have been because of a different way of thinking, a shift in how you see your role, a new skill, or something else. Change happens when you find the difference that makes the difference for you, in your specific context. Finding that difference is what NLP (neurolinguistic programming) is all about.
Why NLP?
NLP is an exceptional set of tools for leading change quickly and in lasting ways. These tools have been time-tested in the world of psychotherapy for 50 years. They are extraordinary tools for quickly getting right to the heart of why people resist change and what enables change. However, these tools are less well-known outside of that context. Josh has adapted them for everyday use in the day-to-day contexts of being a dad, excelling in business, and achieving your aims with your health and relationships. In Josh Davis PhD’s new USA Today Bestselling book, The Difference that Makes the Difference (St. Martin’s Essentials/Macmillan) he and his co-author, Greg Prosmushkin, offer both simple steps to apply these tools and demonstrate how scientific research supports them.
