For working dads, what matters most doesn't stay the same forever. Careers change, kids grow up, responsibilities shift, and the way we define ourselves has to evolve along with them.
Executive coach and author Chip Scholz helps leaders navigate transition, growth, and change. As a dad of three grown daughters, he has also experienced how fatherhood changes across different seasons of life. Chip believes the small decisions we make every day can ultimately shape our lives far more than the occasional big decision.
Chip shares how to:
- Recognize the small decisions that can create meaningful change over time
- Think about work life balance in terms of seasons rather than perfect equilibrium
- Separate meaningful work from simply staying busy
- Move from being performative to being useful at work and at home
- Practice patience and presence instead of trying to control every outcome
- Adapt your parenting as your kids grow and become more independent
- Let go of identities and roles that no longer fit the season you're entering
Chip offers a grounded perspective on fatherhood, work life balance, meaningful work, dad identity, presence at home, and the challenge of deciding what deserves your attention during different seasons of life.
