Being the Modern Dad - Keeping your relationships alive as you raise your family & manage a busy career.

This month on Working Dads Connect we focus on being a modern working dad who has a major role in the caring responsibilities in raising his children.

The fact is being a parent in 2017 is not always easy. Life is not always perfect and there are ups and down along the parenting journey which doesn't always leave you feeling in your prime. From managing childcare drop offs to relationship issues, workplace stigma and career pressures – theres a lot to juggle for the modern working dad.

We will interview father of four and founder of Better Dads Alex Laguna about being a modern conscientious dad. Alex has interviewed dads in an array circumstances and has rich insight on what dads today are working with in the workplace as well as on the home front.

Alex will be joined by Samuel Eddy, an executive coach who works with fathers and their families to support them overcome professional or personal challenges.

Some areas we will explore with Alex and Sam include:

- The reality of being a modern working dad - balancing a successful career with family responsibilities

- Building stronger relationships with your kids and partner whilst juggling a demanding job

- Coping when relationships breakdown and you find yourself a single dad

- The challenges and opportunities as a father when you separate from your partner – how to do shared care

- Broaching tricky subjects with your partner or ex-partner around raising your kids together

- Making time for your mates and other important things in your life
